Blest Company: Plastic into Oil - buildaroo.com

Blest Company manufactures machines that recycle plastic into oil.

This machine produces unrefined oil, composed of kerosene, diesel, gasoline, and heavy oils. The gas resulting from the process is sent into a gas filter which breaks it down into H20 and CO2.

The oil resulting from the first machine is unrefined. Blest also manufactures machines to refine the oil, the BOR-20 and BOR-50, so that it can be used in other applications.

Currently, Blest has been selling their machines either to schools, for educational purposes, or to factories.

Solar doesn't provide the steady tempature control required.

@acuaman42 -- as dcsensui said, if it's powered from renewable sources like wind, solar, or water or low-impact energy like nuclear then it's worth it. It's not so much about getting a good return on the energy invested as it is making the best use of a limited resource, namely fossil fuels.

Our infrastructure is highly reliant on fossil fuels. This would be a good stop-gap measure to "lessen the pain" as we transition away from them. Also helps reduce strain on our waste management systems.

True it does take more energy to convert it from plastic to petroleum, however it is questionable that the costs are greater than the environmental cost of dumping plastics in land fills and the oceans. These can be measured in real financial costs because plastics are damaging the ecosystems which reduces food productivity on land and in the sea.

How much are those machines?

[acuaman42]

@dcsensui You are completely wong. You can never get the 350 Celsious degrees the process needs with solar energy, even with parabolic solar concentrators, like the ones in Spain or Germany, the highest temperature they reach is 165 Celsious degrees when they are used for heating water, this plastic needs much higher temperatures.

[dcsensui]

@acuaman42 -- a solution is to power it with solar energy.

[acuaman42]

The problem here is that the process needs much more energy to get the fuel than the energy the fuel finally produce. This is due to the second law of thermodinamics.

I like your process, but I have some questions to you or for somebody:

How much water does this process need to create 1 liter fuel?

How much energy and what kind of energy does it need for heating? Efficiency? After melting is there any ash?

Many thanks!

Maravilha!
