Pyrolysis system Compounder maker Farrel Pomini and waste-conversion technology maker Lummus Technology have combined technologies to develop a pyrolysis process for plastics waste. As part of the process, Farrel Pomini’s FCM (Farrel Continuous Mixer), with features tailored for pyrolysis, melts post-industrial and post-consumer waste and homogenizes the material under specific temperature and pressure parameters. Pyrolysis then converts the waste into gas, oil and pitch; these end products can be further processed in traditional refining and petrochemical assets and turned into monomers for new plastics production. The system also includes a cracker.
What’s new? The pyrolysis process, which Farrel Pomini announced in November. Farrel’s U.S. headquarters is Farrel Corp., Ansonia, Conn.
Benefits A flexible, efficient and cost-effective way to transform low-bulk-density and contaminated materials into usable products. The continuous process ensures high-quality pyrolysis with the widest range of post-use feedstocks.
