BIOFABRIK
The compact refinery WASTX Plastic, basing on the process of catalytic depolymerization, offers a prototype, ready to go into serial production, which converts plastic waste into a diesel-like fuel, automatically presorting, cleaning and shredding it beforehand. Hereby, the chemical compounds of the plastic material become resolved and transformed back to their original liquid state through thermodynamic processes during a process of multi-stage refining progress. Using this technology, one kilogram of plastic will be converted into approximately one litre of fuel, corresponding to up to 10 kilowatt-hours of energy. The WASTX Plant is capable of feeding, processing and cleaning itself 24/7 completely automated. Due to its compact construction style the entire system, presorting and crushing included, currently require the space of a 40-foot sea container. It can be placed and operated decentralized without having to transport the waste.
