2. THIS IS LIKE CASHING ON THE POLLUTION ITSELF .THIS PROJECT IF IMPLEMENT CAN TURN THE TIDES GLOBALLY BY PROVIDING A LONG TERM SOLUTION FOR THESE PROBLEMS. SCOPe 2

3. SCOPE In this scenario my presentation aims to solve the twin problem of environment pollution due to plastic and the need for an alternative fuel source THE MAIN AIM IS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE MOUNTINGS PROBLEM OF PLASTIC DISPOSAL , FOR WHICH THE PLASTICS ARE CONVERTED INTO VALUABLE FUEL 3

4. INTRODUCTION PLASTICS HAVE BECOME AN INDISPENSABLE PART IN TODAY’S WORLD DUE TO THEIR LIGHT-WEIGHT , DURABILITY , ENERGY, EFFICIENCY , COUPLED WITH A FASTER RATE OF PRODUCTION AND DESIGN FLEXIBILITY, THESE PLASTIC ARE EMPLOYED IN ENTIRE RANGE OF INDUSTRIAL AND DOMESTIC AREAS . 4

5. INTRODUCTION PLASTIC ARE NON DEGRADABLE POLYMERS OF MOSTLY CONTAINING CARBON, HYDROGEN AND FEW OTHERS ELEMENTS SUCH AS CHLORINE , NITROGEN ETC..,. DUE TO ITS NON-BIODEGRADABLE NATURE, THE PLASTIC WASTE CONTRIBUTES SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE PROBLEM OF MUNICIPAL WASTE MANAGEMENT . 5

6. PLASTICS Plastics are natural / synthetic materials. They are produced by chemically modifying natural substances or are synthesized from inorganic and organic raw material. on the basis of their physical characteristics, plastics are usually divided into thermosets ,elastomers and thermoplastics . These groups differ primarily with regard to molecular structure , which is what determines their differing thermal behavior . 6

7. TYPES OF PLASTICS FUEL 7

8. PLASTICS & ENVIRONMENT 8

9. PLASTICS & ENVIRONMENT Plastics offer a variety of environmental benefits . However, their production, applications, and disposal has many environment concerns . 9

10. SOLUTION WITH BAD EFFECTS The pile up of these wastes in the land filling sites cause problems 10

11. WHAT ABOUT THE VALUE The main thing which makes plastic wastes valuable is longer carbon chains than those in LPG, petrol, and diesel fuels. Therefore, it is possible to convert waste plastic into fuels. 11

12. Waste materials may be treated by several scientific disposal methods INCINERATION PYROLYSIS GASIFICATION 12

14. Conversion of Plastics Waste into liquid fuel The entire process is undertaken in closed reactor vessel followed by condensation, if required. Waste plastics while heating upto 2700 to 3000 C convert into liquid-vapour state, which is collected in condensation chamber in the form of liquid fuel. The tarry liquid waste is topped-down from the heating reactor vessel. The organic gas is generated which can be used in dual fuel diesel generator set for generation of electricity. 14

17. CONCLUSION The production of thermofuel from waste plastics is one of the better methods to save the environment profitably. 17
