In the present research paper incorporates the steady state
simulation of waste plastic thermolysis process and modelling for the
conversion of hydrocarbon product from waste plastics such as polyethylene
(PE), polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) with the assistance of Aspen
Hysys V9 simulator. This simulator was used to design the pyrolytic reactor
model for waste plastic thermolysis process. A Peng-Robinson thermodynamics
model was employed as a fluid package of this simulation work. The simulation process
of plastic pyrolysis in the simulation environment, was taking places into two
stages such as i) A conversion of plastic wastes into vapour-liquid fraction
(VLF) with small amount of char-residue using conversion reactor (pyrolytic
reactor) and ii) separation of produced vapour-liquid fraction to pyro-gases
and liquid-fuel with the aid of water tube condenser. The obtained results
demonstrated that, a conversion of polystyrene into liquid fuel is up to 88.7%
has been optimum value than other plastic wastes like polyethylene produced of
81.95% and polypropylene produced of 83.54 %. The simulated model can provide
an inspiration to the researcher in knowing expected products and their
individual component for better understanding and scale-up studies.
