RECOVER Terugwinnen van producten uit kunststof afval
report
‘RECOVER – Recovery of products from plastic waste’ (060.36035) is a TKI innovation project financed by RVO (reference TBBE 218003) in which technologies developed by the consortium partners were used to convert three plastic waste streams into valuable products. These products include benzene, toluene, xylene (BTX), ethylene and propylene. The gasification and BTX scrubbing technologies developed at TNO were used to gasify the plastic waste streams provided by AEB (DKR310 Big foils, DKR310 Small foils, Mixed Plastics) and recover the value they contain, exploring the conversion and product recovery from the feedstock. For this particular task the knowledge provided by SRT was crucial for the test programme. The three waste streams were successfully converted into a gas containing valuable products in the Milena gasifier. Ethylene followed by methane are the main components produced regardless of the feedstock used. Also mass yields of at least 6% are obtained for benzene. A conversion of 66-71% was achieved into product gas on a carbon basis.
