Senior Design Report Spring 2023: Technical and economic proposal "Closing critical gaps to enable a circular plastics economy"
Abstract
This team developed a pyrolysis purification unit that will deliver feedstock to an adjacent ethylene while minimizing capital and variable operating costs. The design also includes treatment of contaminants, environmental concerns, and the health and safety of the personnel working this purification unit. We have also made recommendations for the Bali Project Team that will contribute to closing the recycling quantity, quality, and affordability issues that our design group was made aware of.
