| 2. Description: |
Practical Action, RiverRecycle, Lamor Oy and Society Development committee (SDC) made a consortium for implementing the project titled “Increasing employment by creating value from plastic waste in Bangladesh”. The consortia is on its first phase and this phase will continue up to December 2025. The consortia is going implement a demonstration project in Faridpur Municipality for single use thin plastic management through pyrolysis process aim to produce pyrolysis oil and black carbon from single use thin plastic waste subsequently reduce plastic pollution load in environment as well as to reduce CO2. Major equipment for pyrolysis plant based on foreign technologies, origin in abroad and will be brought to Bangladesh by leasing and import according to its plan. The consultant will prepare detailed design for structures, electrical and mechanical plan for instrumental set up.
Single use thin plastic waste will be collected from household, market, street side, river, riverside, instates, etc. Then the plastic will be clean and dry By mechanical and automatic system. The clean and dry plastic will feed to pyrolysis plant to convert these to pyrolysis oil. The produced pyrolysis oil will be stored to ISO tank. The stored oil will supply to the customer by carrying tanks.
The approximately site dimension of the proposed pyrolysis plant is 47.9 m x 55.47 m. In this project, there are three communal roads, one temporary office building, one offloading area for incoming trucks with plastic, one pre-sorting area for waste plastic (manually washing, cleaning, drying, and bundling the plastic), gas tanks for LPG and Pyrolysis off gas, 50-60 kg per hour feedstock (plastic) capacity of pyrolysis unit, underground water tank, internal roads, oil reserve tanks, and two char storage sheds will be in the demonstration recycling plant. The layout of this proposed plant is in Annex 1. |
