Welcome To Karthi Explains in this video we are going to see how waste plastic is turned into fuel by using Pyrolysis Animation

HOW PLASTIC IS MADE :
   • How plastic is made animation  

We can convert Plastic back into usable Fuel.
This Process is Called " PLASTIC PYROLYSIS " Also Known as DEPOLYMERIZATION.

In this process long Polymer molecules (plastic) are broken down into shorter chains of Hydrocarbons with the help of heat and pressure.
A catalyst is added to lower the temperature and increase the yield.

it's a Complex Process and also dangerous because we are dealing with Hydrocarbons.
but
For Understand Purpose The Process of Plastic Pyrolysis means Simply Extracting The Usable Fuel Oil From Waste plastic.

In order to extract the oil, plastic needs to be heated to over 400 °C, in absence of oxygen At this temperature, the long-chain molecules from the plastic are cracked and produce synthetic crude oil
That's it.

And it is very hard to explain that complex process but If you want to learn more about this topic Here are some links to other websites and videos :

    I love making educational videos. Thank you for watching... Edit : it Takes Months To Create Animations, Please Consider Subscribing
  • @nikhil5133
    Great work! Clear explanation and absolutely professional level animation. Bro, keep it up, you'll go far ! Amazing stuff
  • @franzeseria1091
    Great day sir! What a wonderful presentation! May I ask what software do you use in making the pyrolysis chamber. Thanks
  • @Beat_Code
    The way of explanation and animations is fabulous!!!
  • @brunobrazuka
    Excellent video, excellent subject and much importance. You are very talented, you can see how easy it is to explain and edit the content, and you still use open source software, that's really amazing. Greetings from Brazil!
  • @evat.5878
    Thanks for this video! You helped me a lot. I really appreciate the visualization of pyrolysis, where you showed how the apparatus looks.
  • @cmichaels9544
    I love it! Well done 😊 thank you for the informative video and most importantly, helping our planet!
  • @k.e.n.yt.
    Thank you for making the video, making the process so easy for learning. Appreciate it!
  • @dackbowland1876
    Great video. Just heard of this and looked it up because I wanted a full break down and it's practicality, thank you.
  • @crapemail8176
    EXCELLENT VIDEO! THANK YOU! Please keep it up!!!! Had the whole family watch it. All were fascinated!
  • @tygranamalyan
    Fantastic video! Very nice for education and even for industry people like myself! Many Thanks! Wish I can hire you for animations!)))
  • A great explanation, and it looks like a great way to reprocess dirty, or unidentified plastic waste that cannot be recycled directly. What I would like to know is what's the emissions profile from these processes, can to the off-gasses be cleaned up to eliminate the release of any weird complex compounds with chlorine attached, for example.
  • thats very nice, when can we expect animation on the distilation and treatment of oil to run on the truck?
  • What can the carbon black be used for? Also when using this system with tires. Is there any issue with the high sulfer content in the collected fuel? Is just a higher than commercial diesel or is it something to be cautious about? Great video! Thank you!
  • You're right in that this isn't sustainable long term but if we manage (hopefully) to migrate to biodegradable plastics not made with fossil fuels this would be a great method to clean up the current plastic waste once and for all
  • I fully understand this process but Karthi explanation in English makes it even more interesting. Very thanks Karti
  • Great video. I wonder what the yield of diesel would be since it would come off of a lower spot on the distillation column.
