TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW OF THE “GETH PROCESS”
The system to convert plastic and tires to oil uses electromagnetic pyrolysis to produce GETH Oil, carbon black, syngas, and steel. The use of electromagnetic pyrolysis facilitates more effective heat transfer while causing no environmental impact. A standard twelve-module plant, utilizing six for plastic and six for tire conversion produces approximately 25,000 barrels of oil per month. Systems utilization and plant build out will be based upon available feedstock.
One System – Mixed plastic to GETH Oil Conversion:
The maximum processing of one system is approximately 1,000,000 pounds of plastic per month – estimated to produce 2,710 barrels of GETH Oil per month, among other outputs.
Outputs and Ratios:
85% average by weight converted into GETH Oil
10% average by weight of syngas
5% average by weight of carbon black
One System -Tire to GETH Oil Conversion:
The maximum processing of one system is approximately 1,000,000 pounds of tires per month – estimated to produce 1,435 barrels of GETH Oil per month, among other outputs.
Outputs and Ratios:
40-45% by weight converted into GETH Oil
30-33% converted into carbon black
10-11% recovered steel wire
11-20% syngas
Process Description for a Twin Reactor Pyrolysis Conversion Module:
Process charge (baled materials) is compressed to increase charge weight and provide a convenient material handling package. Process improvement development will be investigated during the initial startup phase.
The conversion process is composed of a combination of multiple stages that have been placed in line so that they present an integrated process stream. Modules are operated in a continuous batching scheme.
The first stage is an electromagnetic induction system. The pyrolysis process converts tire and/or mixed plastic feedstock into crude oil. The pyrolysis module consists of a twin reactor system. The reactors are controlled by a computerized process controller that maintains a constant processing that establishes a consistent process window. As the feedstock material reaches it optimum temperature, the liquefied material converts into a gaseous phase. Gases pass through a condensation/separation chamber. The resultant light oil condensate is a final product.
In a second stage, heavy un-vaporized oil is collected and reprocessed into the final product.
All finished oil is moved into a product storage vessel for final testing.
The entire system is a closed loop that sorts vapors and gases throughout the entire process. At no time are there any gases or vapors emitted into the atmosphere. The reactor chamber is closed and sealed throughout the entire process cycle and is only opened once all of the vapors and gases have been evacuated from the reactor chamber. There is a main check valve in place between the reactor and the separator that prevents any gases or vapors from flowing back into the reactor chamber.
Other non-oil Products:
Carbon black is produced as a by-product in volumes related to the feed stock material as noted earlier. Carbon black collects in the separator vessel and is released through a valve gate at the bottom at the termination of each batch process. The carbon black enters a contained storage vessel, which is sealed so that the carbon black is fully captured without becoming airborne.
The steel from tires is removed from the reactor in preparation for the next batch.
The last by-product is syngas which is evacuated from the system continuously and processed through a filtration system to clean out any residual carbon; the gas is then compressed into syngas storage vessels.
HANDLING AND SHIPPING
All the by-products are separated into their own specific storage vessels until they’re shipped. All products will be shipped by certified transporters. The certified oil and syngas transporters have all the necessary permits, pumps and valves systems to eliminate any vapors or emissions from being released into the atmosphere during the tanker loading process.
