Converting Waste Plastic into Crude Oil

Agilyx (USA) has launched a new patented system they are claiming as the "first in the world to economically convert waste plastics into crude oil". This system can be versatile and scalable and is obviously beneficial towards the environment.

The Agilyx base system compromises four main vessels shown in the picture, and the associated processing equipment. The base system can convert around 10 tonnes of plastic into about 60 barrels (approximately 2,400 gallons) of crude oil every day.

Being scalable, the Agilyx technology offers the ability to increase processing capacity at increments of 10 tonnes per day, in order to meet customer's requirements, by combining multiple base systems together.
