diesel from HDPE

Process of pyrolysis breaks down the long hydrocarbon chains into diesel fraction. Unfortunately this clear diesel fuel turns into paraffin wax if cooled below 20 degree celsius. But when heated above that again, it becomes clear again. Still much to work out.

@Jetijs

Jetijs,I would like to contact you by email address.Is this possible? I'm the "newdar" user from the energetic forum.

Depends on choice of feedstock and temperature you set pyrolyzer. Soft plastics i.e. #2 polyethylene most often yields paraffin while harder plastics like polypropylene (computer monitor cases, printer cases, other plastics that break easily) will yield a fuel oil that stays liquid. If you run your paraffin-like fuel back through the pyrolyzer a 2nd time at higher temp, you will get much finer fuel that will stay liquid but some paraffin left over. Check bit dot lyogbPT3 (replace dot with .)

That's a great build !!! Liked and added to my favorites.Thanks for sharing.Tec

So you could make a dual fuel system that starts on diesel and switches over to plastic....reminds me of an aussie inventor that recycles tyres using a microwave oven and gets every fraction from high kerosene down to tar

Wow, that looks cool! How did you do that?

How much power consumed during the process?
