Waste to Energy – Visit to Biofabrik GmbH “WASTX” DEMO Site, Kent

Together with prospective clients, our CEO, Alan MacLeod attended a site visit to the Biofabrik GmbH plastic recycling facility, located in Kent and operated by QMRE Ltd, to witness the processing capability of the demonstration WASTX™ Technology unit.

Dave Garbett, Director, QMRE Ltd, provided a tour of the waste processing facility together with updates on current plastic feedstock Research and Development progress.

The modular WASTX™ Plastic technology converts plastic waste into a recycled oil product, used as raw material for further plastics production, turning problematic waste into a valuable blended component.

The containerised, fully automated, and highly profitable WASTX™ Plastic technology processes up to 5,000 kg of polyolefins per day per module.

The Waste to Energy Process

The WASTX™ System transforms plastic waste into industrial raw materials and clean energy.

Key features of the technology include;

• Decentralised container design – WASTX™ modules installed in either 20-ft or 40-ft Container Units
• Cutting Mill and Silo – Substrate automatically added, achieves high process efficiency
• Use of electricity and heat – Power generator optimised for processing of pyrolysis distillates

WASTX™ Plastic Technology – Summary:

• The first container-based, decentralised plant process for plastic waste or production residues
• Converts up to 5000 kg of plastic per day into waste (polyolefin fraction) – a cost-effective usable raw material or fuel (DIN)
• Compared with conventional disposal; minimal logistics costs and local added value
• Containerised process promotes efficient system installation and scaling
• Product derived used in suitable combustion engines for energy generation or further refined into condensates

Waste to Energy technology is growing in importance for many businesses considering sustainable infrastructure, so, if applying the use of this plastic waste recycling technology is of interest, we would be happy to have a discussion with you. Contact Us
