PolyCrack Technology (US Patent) from UK

Technology (Polycrack)

Mixed Waste to Energy (Electricity, Light Diesel Oil, Natural Gas, Green Hydrogen)
  • Polycrack Technology (Process)
  • World’s 1st heterogeneous catalytic process (USA patent)
  • Can reform any Hydrocarbon waste (rubber, plastic, municipal waste, organic waste & sludge waste) into Light Diesel Oil (LDO), Gases, Green Hydrogen, Electricity, Carbon & Water. 
  • We can use Light Diesel Oil & Natural Gas to produce electricity. Natural Gas can be further separated into Green Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Methane, etc. or Natural Gas can be compressed into Liquified Petroleum Gases.
  • Polycrack technology-based plants use thermally assisted catalytic process (thermal cracking process), with an operating temperature from 450 OC to 700 OC (depending on the type of waste).
  • Waste Plastics
  • Rubber Tyres
  • Municipal Solid Waste
  • Petroleum Industry
  • Refining Waste
  • Packaging
  • E-waste
  • Agro Plastics
  • Organic Waste
  • Fats & Grease
  • Frac Sludge
  • Oil Shale
  • ETP Waste
  • Rigid Industrial Waste
