Brief description of the project
The municipal solid waste consists of two main parts. The first part is the organic matter or food residues and the second part is inorganic materials that include plastics and petroleum. After separating two parts in the waste processing plant, the inorganic part, which usually consists of nylon and plastic materials and textiles, can be converted into other valuable products using up-to-date methods such as pyrolysis. In the pyrolysis process, carbonaceous materials decomposed in the presence of heat and lack of oxygen (indirect heat) and turned into pyrolysis oil, gas, and coke. In pyrolysis depend on process speed and temperature, it is possible to form materials in all three phases of liquid, solid, and gas. The solid material of the process is coke. The produced steam is transferred to the refining unit after condensation under the name of pyrolysis oil. After refining in the separation unit (distillation tower), they are converted into light, heavy and medium cuts (depending on the need) in the range of specifications close to diesel and gasoline. Production of diesel from waste by pyrolysis method considered as a correct method to manage inorganic waste sector is in line with the goals of sustainable development. This reducing the production of solid fuels derived from waste, in addition to reducing the environmental problems caused by waste disposal and energy production. On the other hand, the investment cost of this project is much lower than waste incineration plant, and due to the modularity of pyrolysis reactors in capacities of 10 to 20 tons, it is possible to develop and improve it step by step. In the first phase, considering that the implementation of the waste pyrolysis project of waste processing lines in the country has not been implemented yet, a unit with a capacity of 10 tons per day will be implemented with the aim of answering the questions of the General Department of Environment and obtaining environmental permits, as well as formulating the executive procedure for exporting the product.
