Abstract:
The paper presents the design of the experimental apparatus developed in order to analyse the
performance of a prototype of a pyrolysis system for the exploitation of the plastic residues of industrial
processes and the end of life tires. The small scale pilot prototype is specifically designed for carrying out
an experimental campaign aimed at determining the influence of different plastic types on the yield and on
the quality of the liquid oil, gas and char obtained in the pyrolysis process. The study investigates the effect
of different mixture of various plastic products mainly made of polyethylene, styrene butadiene rubber,
nylon and natural rubber. The prototype is equipped with a control system able to monitor the main operating
parameters of the process, such as the pyrogas pressure and temperature as well as the temperature inside
the reactor where the pyrolysis takes place. The monitored variables are employed for deriving correlations
among the operating conditions and the yield of the pyrolysis process. Therefore, further analysis concerns
experimental measurements in order to estimate the main compounds that are contained in the syngas in
comparison to the different plastic wastes analysed. Finally, the emissions of the small-scale prototype are
evaluated
