1 Microwave supported thermo catalytic depolymerisation of hydrocarbon based materials into usable light oil microfuel

2 Opening Alternative power supply by microwave supported thermo catalytic depolymerisation has developed a plant technology for realisation of the thermo catalytic depolymerisation process by the combined use of high frequency pulsed microwaves and a zeolithic catalyst.

3 Microfuel-process Since 2001 microfuel system has been developed by the BIONIC group and until now it is one of the top-rates processes in the sector of thermo catalytic depolymerisation in the world. modulated microwaves radiation tyres carbon Zeolith catalyst tyres oil steel tyres coal In a pre-process the tyres have to be cutted to a size of 20 mm. In comparison to other systems is it not necessary to remove the steel from the tyre grain. After the microfuel process the steel will be extracted from the coal with magnetic precipitators. The whole process runs in a single high-tech reactor system with a possible capacity of up to 45 ton per day.

4 The pellets of tyres, mixed with catalyst, will be heated very fast by microwaves radiation till 280 C-350 C. This happens in the reactor in an inert atmosphere. Produced reaction steams will be condensed, distilled and refined. Production of fuel

11 Oil quality Upgraded Bionic-oil produced by the microfuel process matches the ASTM specifications in most cases for transportation and generator low sulphur fuels. Blending with additives like cetane enhancers and hydrotreatment increases the energy content and quality parameters.
