How Plastic Waste Is Converted Into Fuel At A New Plant In Indiana - Наука та технологія
This needs to be a world wide company
The whole business model depends on the oil price. Too much risk when the price is so low for so long like right now.
@@DeepNightHour You can add a tax rate that always stays like 20 % above the common oil price imported and made by the traditional oil industry. That way these kinds of less wasteful solutions can always have maximum demand and more competition will be created too, since it's pretty much no risk business for them after this type of tax reform.
Agree 100%
It's a tax payer funded scam. It is not economically viable because of storage and transportation costs and lack of public participation. All this does is suck money away from other programs which could do more good. It's all about lining the pockets of the well connected.
YESSSS!!!!!
1 minute silence for those who thought natural living plant.
Why you gotta expose me like this...🤣
J.R Junior me too
plant eating plastic :D, looks like they have came up with a bacteria that decomposes plastic
I was taught in the School that Plastics are Non Bio Degradable and Now I am Watching this .. So What Does This Mean.. This Plant can Literally Convert any Plastic into Fuel... If so then Its Literally INSANE ... So from Now Onwards .. No more Banns On Plastic ..
@@j.rjunior5584 Cause I also thought this 😁😇😌
Son "Where are my plastic toys?"
Mom "I needed fuel, and was broke."
Great work, the world needs thousands of these recycling plants.
This is satisfying to watch
K
I thought they meant a literal "plant", I was ready to plant it in our backyard if it was available in our country.
orbit zen me too
And this is why Americans exist...
Danksgiving im mexican
Me too
Lol
This needs to go global.
what is byproduct?
@Sanjay Rawat nah
@Sanjay Rawat nah im to lazy to check thanks for sharing the info
@Sanjay Rawat Thankyou for sharing the information.
We have this in EU long fackin time ago.
Yes! We need more solutions and innovation like this 🙂
Show more businesses like these please
*I've never been prouder to live in Indiana* 👏🏼😂
Why?
@@jamesdoubly5012
Because of this plant 🥺
WingStorm yeah it’s really something, would love to visit someday as well as Indiana.
I just hope all those plastics are not from Indiana.
@Kyle Towers I suppose it just depends on where you live. Indiana isn't that bad at all. Plus, this plant is a really cool idea. 🙂
Hata off to d inventor(s) of dis system! I congratulate them & really feel proud of them! Thank u so much( wid love n respect from India).…....
In Japan they melt it down, grind it up, and put it in road pavement to make it flexible so it doesn’t crack.
They do that in some parts of India as well
It's great to see someone finally doing this on a big scale!
It bring tears to my eyes to see how the huge plastic problem can be solved. Well done!!!
Pretty cool. Another cool Idea that I've seen is turning plastic into building bricks for the developing world such as cheap housing and pathway material such as sidewalks. It would be cool if a company that made those bricks teamed up with the entity that's producing machines that fishes plastic out of water ways for water ways such as the Ganges river.
Would love to see companies fight over mining rights of garbage dumps where the trash is seen as resources.
This is Great! I LOVE Brightmark
You can make plastics into asphalt which in turn the roads last longer,plus you can take plastics and make long lasting building materials out of them build better seas walls be the do not deteriorate.
Yeah,, the day we run out of plastic is the day we have poisonous air. [In his context, from burning plastics]
Always nice to see some good news from my home state.
So they burn the plastic?
Sounds like it to me. What a great americian idea 👍
Heated with microwave to break plastic's long polymer molecules into shorter one like liquid fuel
@@steakovercake3986 le me gess u bri ish
Plastic has a high calorific value and using plastic waste as fuel saves you from having to burn something else.
@@steakovercake3986 said it was the first plant in US. Already have plants in Asia and Europe.
Who else thought they meant like a literal 🌱
Bruh me 😅😅
They have not disclosed the crucial stage of converting plastic waste to other by-products and the emissions involved.
Big Red Flag.
it probably is not eco-friendly as you might think
@@Evtrex13 Don't try it if it is NOT eco-friendly.
Check out other videos on this topic. You can process at home. It is Not burning plastic.. it is Melted. A whole different breakdown of the material.
I would support one and work at it if one were built near me
I clicked to see if this can be a research project for educational purposes
I thought we finally have “plastic eating plant” you can grow. What a disappointment
@CNN is Fake News o
*Why did I think they meant* 🌱🌲🌳🌳🌲🌱
*That's the only reason I clicked. I wanted to see how they bioengineered a plant to be converting plastics to fuel.*
We here in Pennsylvania burn old tires in the Co-Generation plants. Usually the burn coal dust from the mines of years ago to generate electricity. They also construct these co-gen plants right where there are huge deposits of the coal dust while trucks and front end loaders are still needed to keep the plant operating. Over the road hauling of coal dust is not necessary. When the area is clean of material the plant is disassembled and trucked to another location and it starts all ovrr
0:13 that guy is thinking: I HATE MY LIFE!
I'm from Indiana, long a go a friend of mine told me of fields and fields of marijuana, being a pot smoker I was in my jeep within 3 minutes getting directions from my copilot, and lo and behold there they were.. With big purple buds.. In front of a ethanol plant.. of course I went 4 wheeling with my arm out the window, snatching hand after hand of those beautiful buds, I must of had 2 pounds of pot in my lap, it was a dream come true,
So we get back and I ripped a couple into small pieces and dried them in the sun on cardboard.. My friend keeps saying it wont get you stoned...
I fired up a bowl, 4 hits later I'm thinking here it comes! here it comes! Nope it was Indiana no high, grown for ethanol, you don't see it very often but it does grow in ditches from time to time. But it was a neet experience..
Wow i hope every country will have this imagine the difference it will make
This type of companies should be present in the whole world to save the mother earth
Wow! That is amazing!
You should have a lot more videos breaking up and processing the plastic, I would watch them.
Cielo Waste Solutions is also doing this in Canada. They produce diesel from all kind of plastics.
Thanks so much
Beautiful keep it up everyone I love you all
We need more people like this
I would like to see documented proof that this actually works
It is very simple process. Actually it is the same process as the original refining process. They literally just heat the plastic till it evaporates and then when it cools off it condenses into diesel, gasoline, and kerosene. Its a little more than that in the process but basically this is it.
@@diyguy2383 Nooooo no no, he said he wanted to see DOCUMENTED PROOF. As in a piece of paper that says that it works.
We need a plant facility like this in all the southern states of the country. Texas and California mostly. They are one of the most overpopulated states and you wouldn't believe how much garbage is there. This could definitely help a lot
This Idea Is Great!
Need these types of plants to open in every state.
Hi it's been 3 years now. They get more plants activated. It get big here in Australia at the moment. Collecting a lot of plastics.
Very nice act to save our planet!!
This is more of the news we need to see
WE NEED THESE EVERYWHERE!!!
Coming from the EU. We do have these mostly everywhere. It's just incineration. China is using them more and more too. Pretty old tech fairly honest, though seldom you see them bother to pelletize the waste. Which actually concerns me, I hope they are not selling these pellets and marketing them as eco friendly. The chemicals emitted is toxic and the ash contains chemicals considered cancerous hazardous waste.
www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/03/should-we-burn-plastic-waste/
Waste management did this ten years ago. Continuus energy was the first plant of its kind in Texas to do this.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the largest accumulation of ocean plastic in the world and is located between Hawaii and California. It covers an approximate surface area of 1.6 million square kilometers - an area twice the size of Texas and three times the size of France.Imagen how much fuel it would become from it :D
Changed the waste problem in the world and created a newer even bigger problem.
Amazing👏
Great! Is it costly to do?
All of us who have made the effort to recycle have been duped and there have been no repercussions for those who mislabeled product and broke the promise to recycle. I am furious about this. Now, trying not to use plastic, but still doing aluminum. No steel recycling here.
Recycling plastic is bogus. Metal on the other hand, is good.
That last quote was quite something
what type of catalyst use in plastic recycling ?
First time I heard the state I live in mentioned in something so important
I want to go visit!!!
I came up with the same conclusion without ever meeting this guy. Maybe I'll be a plant manager of one of these, soon.
Wow this is awesome
Can I kindly ask, do plastic wastes need to be washed before entering gasifier? Or is it possible to directly supply the plastic into the gasifier? Our study is to produce syngas from plastic waste and gasification is the main unit operation. Please if someone can help me with this. Thank you so much
We need to be investing in this companies by millions/billions our future needs it!!
A man in India is also doing this and selling the fuel for 0.5us dollars
This is awesome
Stuff like this Inspires me to make my Own Biofuels, Already have done a ton of research on Diesel Engines,Biodiesel and its ingredients and ways to make it whilst reducing total carbon output
It was mostly me being irritated by Dump Trucks that would come in at the Construction sites and spew Black Fury into the Air,and how people Demonize Diesel Engines despite the useful work they do, Theyre here to stay because no other powertrain can match the torque, They Just Need More Refinements in Efficiency
Brilliant.
This is not a big deal, this process is known as pyrolysis invented by a scientist called Jayme Navarro, in this process plastic is heated in the absence of oxygen, this gives a mixture of different kind of hydrocarbon compound, then after distillation gives end product pyrolic oil, but it also has its own disadvantage normally a fuel on combustion produce lots of carbon dioxide, in pyrolysis it produce lots of CO(carbon monoxide) more toxic than CO2, and is also produce gases that carcinogenic in nature, and lots of tar,
Its no secret haha. All they do is boil it. It evaporates then condenses into diesel, gasoline, and kerosene.
this should be used in every state
Well i can sleep peacefully now after this news. Still hopeful for a better future ☺
this shouldn’t be a secret… it needs to be everywhere especially in africa and asia where usa and europe dumped their waste for all the years
We need more these kind of manufacturing plants across the US. This would really help create jobs and save our oceans.
Yaaay good news in 2020!!! That’s something new
Random fact
The human eye can distinguish about 10 million different colors.
-The Shades
how much energy is used to heat the plastic ?
How unfortunate that the conversion process isn't released. This could easily go global a lot sooner if that were the case.
Lookin good 👍....
this is amazinggg
Please send me quotation of the plant and how much kilo walt capacity how much area required to locate the plant over there
omg finally good news in 2020?!?!
What is the cost of the plastic waste to biodiesel plant ?
Ok what stock do I buy?
My guy at 0:13 was like 'F**k this plastic'
This is a wonderful idea! However im extremely skeptical of a company that says they’re doing it for the good of the planet but keeps the technology a secret so that other people can’t build plants, too. “The ideal would be if we have no more work to do.”
Petroleum Industry. Maybe more smoke and mirrors like biofuel distribution disaster? So many plants were closed down and were government/citizen funded and promoted by government.
Yeah, that made me raise an eyebrow, too. Weird they wouldn't share the secret of the science behind it.
They don't care about the the planet, it is just a very profitable job and they also take money from the government by environmental protection projects.
Well if they shared the secret, fuel companies would just make their own plants and these guys would be out of business
@flagellaman400 1 He meant, when the plastic on earth is cleared (which will never happen let's admit), he definitely did not mean, let's have other companies steal our tech and make us jobless. Or it could have just been a big PR statement meant to paint their company as environment focused rather than profit focused. But that's a whole other topic.
Ultimately though the "plastic problem" starts at the manufacturing end .... if the creators of plastic were made fully responsible for the life cycle of their creation then we wouldn't need solutions like this. All new products should be fully recyclable .... it needs to be written into law. This is just turning one pollutant into another.
I'm so glad this exists. I don't care if they become ridiculously rich out of this as long as they contributing to clean the environment I'm all for it. If I could I probably work for them FOR FREE.
Define “eco-friendly” fuels...
They say its a Sulphur based diesel instead of a crude oil based.
Eco friendly that doesn't require destroying forests and ecosystems for
Like Palm Oil, or Crude Oil Mining facilities on both land and oceans
It takes 42 Gallons of Crude oil to Make only 12 gallons of Diesel, however;
Biodiesel is Mostly eco-friendly because its made from Plant based oils and Can be made with Ethanol (a biobased alcohol), except almost all commercial production uses Methanol
It has similarities to diesel but has no Sulfur content and reduces soot emissions dramatically extending the life of DPFs,EGRs,and Turbos
The catch is that it makes more NOx due to higher Oxygen Content but I beleive the DEF and SCR systems just work a little more to smooth that issue out
The Carbon taken in for the Plants that make Vegetable oils Reduces Total Carbon Emissions by ~70%
A guy in Nigeria created a similar machine...
do you have any sources?
@@anthonyman8008 when you search on youtube "pyrolysis plastic to oil" you can find it right away :)
They should share their methods so more people could improve and use their techniques.
The method is called: Thermocatalytic Depolymerization (Heating plastic to high temp around 450 Celsius in the absence of oxygen; this gives poly-fuel; syn-gas and carbon black)
Is it possible to recycle the harmful emissions produced by the factories? Is there or could there be a need for harmful gases to be recycled?
This is first made in India Hyderabad
States cities and transportation trucking companies should implement same operations
About damn time.
At the speed that these employees are working, I’m concerned that these are nice words with little results..
Wow Indiana is finally doing something.....
we are gonna hear about this once and never again
It's just a pyrolisis plant added with the fischer tropsch process.
More business like this!
👍👍
FINALLY!
There is a lot that is not being said here and that's what's scary. Such conversion usually requires a LOT of heating of those pallets which kinda offsets its advantages. Have seen similarly controversial tech for carbon capture in Seattle
I guess that's one reason this compay's process of conversion is a secret.
Bruh we're just evolving
Its just sad because a lot of people already solved some pollution problems but the downside is no one wants it like the one with edible can for turtles.
Look at all the garbage islands in the oceans. This needs to happen
