Technology Features
Continuous Process
Our waste-plastic-to-oil technology is a fully automated continuous process optimized for safety and and high yield.
Scalable Design
Currently processing 10–30 TPD and scaling up to 30–100 TPD of mixed plastic waste.
Plastic Diversity
Handles post-consumer waste, biomedical waste, solar panel waste, dump-yard plastics, flexible, rigid and cross-linked plastics. Built-in dehalogenation accepts up to 3% PVC.
Controlled Depolymerisation
Polymer melt undergoes controlled depolymerization to reduce energy input and maximize desired fractions.
Improved Process Efficiency
We have designed and fabricated our novel reactors in-house to significantly improve heat efficiency. Our patent-pending reactor design maximizes the heat transfer coefficient while ensuring stable and continuous operation.
The process integrates multiple waste heat recovery systems. A substantial portion of the plant’s energy requirement is internally generated, where non-condensable gases produced during cracking are reused as clean process fuel.

Economics, Product Yield & Risk Mitigation
Economics
Project cost is 1/4th–1/10th of comparable technologies. Premium pyrolysis oil delivers 2–3× market value with a 2–3 year payback period.
The estimated life of the Property, Plant, and Equipment (PP&E) exceeds 10 years, subject to standard preventive maintenance and operating conditions—significantly enhancing long-term cost efficiency and project viability.
Pyrolysis Oil Yield
- 50% to 80% yield
- Depends on quality and composition of input plastic waste
- Refinery-grade output suitable for petrochemical use
Carbon Char (Solid Residue)
- 10% to 13% of total output
- Stable solid residue
- No hazardous disposal requirements
Wax & Non-Condensable Gases
- 0% wax formation — no downstream handling issues
- No marketable gas output
- All gases recycled internally as process fuel
Risk Mitigation & Safety
The primary operational risk in pyrolysis systems is fire or thermal incidents due to flammable vapours. FEET mitigates this risk through refinery-grade plant design, incorporating:
- Fully sealed, oxygen-free processing environment
- Multi-stage temperature and pressure controls
- Real-time safety interlocks and emergency shutdown systems
- Flame arrestors, pressure relief valves, and gas recycling loops
The system complies with international process safety standards, ensuring a highly secure and controlled operation.
