Abstract
- Plastic waste is utilized aggressively for food, product packaging, cosmetics, toys, clothes, and even furniture. As a result, discarded plastic as a waste has grown uncontrollably worldwide, most of it ending up as landfill. With increasing concern, researchers have made efforts to convert this plastic waste into a more useful product. Along these lines, this study focuses on producing 10 tons of diesel per day through fast pyrolysis at 450 °C in the fluidized bed reactor for a feed rate of 3000 kg of plastic waste per hour. The production was simulated in Aspen HYSYS V11 to ensure the desired yield. Further, a detailed economic analysis is carried out to estimate the return on investment and total cost per year, as well as the payback period and the profit for different scenarios.
