Description :
Waste plastics are mostly land filled or incinerated; however, these methods are facing great social resistance because of environmental problems such as air pollution and soil contamination, as well as economical resistance due to the increase of space and disposal costs. In a long term neither the land filling nor the incineration solves the problem of wastes, because the suitable and safe depots are expensive, and the incineration stimulates the growing emission of harmful and greenhouse gases, e.g. NOx, Sox, COx etc. Accordingly, recycling has become an important issue worldwide. This method can be classified as energy recovery, material recycling and chemical recycling. Among them one of the prevalent alternative methods is the production of converted fuel and chemicals by means of the thermal or catalytic degradation of polymers. A research work for systematic decomposition of waste plastic has been carried out by using liquid bed technique and the product is fractionated to obtain petrol, diesel and liquid bed. The product petrol is then subjected to load test in petrol rig to have performative study. Key words: Break thermal power efficiency, Environment, Load test of petrol, Management of plastic waste, Plastic waste, Recycling of plastic waste,
