Pyrolysis of Recycled PE Mulches and Balancing the Economics
Kevin DeWhitt, Founder, PDO Technologies, Inc.
The PDO Technologies small-scale continuous batch configuration for pyrolysis of plastics will be presented and used as a baseline model for assessing the economic constraints if PE mulch films are used as a feedstock. A brief description of the end products from the pyrolysis of PE mulch will be discussed vis-à-vis their value to the advanced recycling efforts of the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical industries. A techno-economic analysis (TEA) using PDO’s proforma project model will be performed to determine the least and most-sensitive variables for chemically recycling PE mulch films.
Kevin DeWhitt is the founder of PDO Technologies Inc., a company dedicated to keeping plastic waste out of the natural environment. For the past 7 years, PDO Technologies has advanced its plastic waste conversion technology, making it economically efficient, carbon neutral and operable in the most remote corners of the world. Partnering with mechanical recyclers and local communities, PDO creates micro-circular economies, processing the hard-to-recycle plastic waste.
Prior to PDO, Mr. DeWhitt founded Agilyx Corporation, (originally, Plas2Fuel), a first of its kind, plastic-to-crude oil technology company. Agilyx raised more than $150 million from green-tech angel investors, venture capitalists and strategic partners, becoming the leader in chemical recycling. Mr. DeWhitt led the development efforts as Chief Technology Officer, resulting in commercialization in 2012 at three project locations in the USA. Mr. DeWhitt has been granted one international and eight national (US) patents related to PTF technology.
