Plastic-to-oil Converter: A Breakthrough in Green Technology
A breakthrough in green technology arrived in Montgomery County,United States as Evion Inc. unveiled its plastic-to-oil conversion technology.Envion said the facility was its first market-ready commercial unit and it was capable of converting any type of plastic waste into high quality, synthetic light medium oil for less than $10 per barrel. The company estimated that the technology, which it calls the Evion Oil Generator, could turn one ton of waste plastic into approximately four 42-gallon barrels of high quality, synthetic light to medium oil. That oil in turn could be used to produce gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and kerosene.
In addition to adding to use oil production Envion said that its technology could reduce landfill use and expense. Envion estimates that the United States produces approximately 50 million tons of plastic waste per year, with most of its heading for landfills. The company estimates its plastic-to-oil conversion processing cost at approximately $17 per ton, much less than the $70-$200 cost range of landfill disposal.
