Develops fluidized bed reactors for pyrolysis of residual plastic waste (RPW) into pyrolysis oil, or polystyrene (PS) into styrene monomers
Claims ability to process waste plastics with a maximum contamination of 2% polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and 5% to 15% polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in a polyolefin mix [polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP)]; claims to have successfully processed RPW with 16% biomass, 2% PET, and 1% metal contamination into pyrolysis oil
Currently operates 700-tonne/y input demonstration facility; has a 7,000-tonne/y input commercial facility in Scotland due to open by 2023
Has both build, own, and operate (BOO) and equipment sales business models
Clients looking to valorize their RPW waste streams should engage with Recycling Technologies to test the technology's ability to handle typical contamination levels and check if downstream refineries can work with the pyrolysis oil output; clients with offtake interests should request product samples from its pilot facility for testing purposes
Develops ultra-high-temperature hydrolysis process for conversion of cellulosic feedstock and solid wastes into syngas; claims technology is capable of processing mixed feedstock streams at temperatures up to 1,100 °C
Syngas product has a heating value of 13 MJ/m3; syngas yields range between 900 m3 and 2,700 m3 per tonne of feedstock, depending on feedstock type
Offers two commercial systems of 5 tonne/day and 25 tonne/day feedstock input capacity; target applications include electricity generation and hydrogen production
Planned a first commercial unit in October 2017 but no updates have since been disclosed; R&D department focusing on reducing energy consumption and increasing system size
Clients should note that the company's ability to use mixed feedstock streams presents a unique value proposition but also remain cognizant that it has shown low momentum in recent years
Plasma gasification of municipal solid waste (MSW) and industrial waste for production of hydrogen gas
Produces 0.17 kg of hydrogen gas per kg of feedstock input, when processing wind turbine blade waste material
No existing facilities; plans for a facility in Havelstoff, Germany, with a production capacity of 7,500 tonne/a to be commissioned in 2023
Partnership with Richter Recycling to realize the Havelstoff pilot plant
Clients interested in hydrogen production from biomass or waste should proceed with caution; the company has made very little progress
