I recently watched a video showing how one Ethiopian is using ordinay equipments to make petroleum feul out of waste plastics.(in this video. ) Just a month ago the government was planning on banning the import plastic bags for environmental issues. I would like to point out five things that must be done to make it better!
Possible ideas for further study as final project could be;
Possible ideas for further study as final project could be;
- As you might have noticed he is using very basic equipments to make it in a way that wastes heat for temperature ranges of 140-350 degree C.
- There is also a possibility of blending it with the conventional diesel even though direct use of it in cars ( as seen on the video) might not be so good environmentally and car safety.
- Efficient cleaning and per-processing of the plastics should be studied to improve the process
- The biodiesel from waste cooking oil model should be used to upgrade the process so that small scale business opportunities are created
- Waste heat in process recovery should be considered. He might use it to heat up water that will be used in cleaning or per-processing the raw plastics
