In this study, pyrolysis of MPW to synthetic oil was considered as an alternative to landfill disposal. Three types of pyrolysis technologies were examined and their potential application in processing NYC’s NRP was evaluated. The technologies discussed were developed by JBI Inc, Agilyx, and Climax Global Energy Inc. All three technologies process NRP to yield synthetic fuels and other petrochemical products of market value.

Plastic residue from NYC’s Sims Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in New Jersey was considered as the test-run feedstock for the pyrolysis technologies discussed. Sims generates approximately 60 tons of plastic residue per day, which primarily consists of film plastics. In practice, if NYC were to construct a pyrolysis plant to process all of the city’s municipal NRP (which includes landfill-bound plastic refuse in addition to plastic residue from Sims MRF), then the total required operating capacity of the plant would be approximately 1,700 tons per day.

JBI Inc’s “Plastic2Oil” (P2O) process is a continuous thermal catalytic process that can handle all types of plastic waste and resins, except for #3-PVC and nylons. This highly automated process yields consumer-ready No. 6 and No. 2 oils, and naphtha, which requires further blending. The P2O process generates 4.4 barrels of oil per ton of plastic waste. A single P2O unit processes 48 tons of plastic waste per day at maximum capacity and operates at approximately 75% availability. The P2O process has low estimated overall CO2 emissions (0.15 tons CO2/ton of plastic waste), low waste generation, and low electricity consumption because it is powered by the off-gas generated during pyrolysis. The P2O process is estimated to generate a net income of approximately $280 per ton of plastic waste. JBI Inc. currently operates a demonstrational scale facility in Niagara Falls, NY and is constructing a 144-ton per day commercial facility in Jacksonville, FL.
