Waste plastics as fuel in the boiler furnace.
Waste plastic as fuel in the boiler Waste plastics can be used as a fuel in a boiler furnace to generate heat and steam. The process of converting waste plastics into fuel for a boiler is called waste plastic pyrolysis. In this process, waste plastics are heated in the absence of oxygen to high temperatures, typically between 400 and 500 degrees Celsius. This causes the plastic to break down into smaller molecules, such as liquid fuel and gases. The liquid fuel, also known as pyrolysis oil, can be used as a substitute for fossil fuels in a boiler furnace to generate heat and steam. The use of waste plastics as fuel in a boiler furnace has several potential benefits: It can help to reduce the amount of waste plastic in the environment by repurposing it as a fuel source It can decrease the need for fossil fuels, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions It can generate energy in an efficient and cost-effective way. However, there are also some challenges to using waste plastics as fuel in
