Rational Energies, Plymouth, MN, is a pyrolysis plant that uses Agilyx’s technology – the facility has a capacity to pyrolyze 40 tons of plastics per day. The business plan for this enterprise included an agreement with Hennepin County’s whereby Rational Energies would install and operate mixed waste sorting equipment at the county’s Brooklyn Park Transfer Station to recover metals and plastics from mixed solid waste, with non-recyclable plastic to be prepared and sent to Rational Energies’ pyrolysis plant. Rational Energies is no longer operating the waste processing equipment and the waste processing equipment is reportedly for sale – without the intended source of supply of plastics, the viability of the pyrolysis plant is also now in question.
