Introducing our Technology…
Graham Fuel Technology Pty Ltd
Fueltech System of Graham Fuel Technology (Fueltech) is the first of its kind of technology in the world. Although Pyrolysis (Pyrolysis is a thermo chemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen) technology does exist, the patented process of Mr. Graham’s FeulTech Technology does not use catalysers, neither does it contain or use any chemicals to produce the multi-fuel, it also enables for the transformation of the feedstock straight to multi-fuel for a quicker and more cost effective process, therefore securing the patent as similar technology does not exist. The process also uses a low level water loop system that enables us to re-use the water, keeping the water usage as low as possible.
The plant can be built in a modular system allowing for capacity to be tailored to the need for the multi-fuel, ranging from 400 litres per day to 2000 litres per day. The Plant can also be built in a container, mounted on a mobile trailer or stationary in a building. This will give mobility to the plant, allowing for application thereof wherever the need may arise, also allowing the plant to be taken to the feedstock. The plant can be operated in a opened or closed loop system. When operated in a closed loop system, zero emissions are released into the atmosphere meaning there is no pollution involved in the processing of waste plastic and old tyres to multi-fuel.
FEEDSTOCK:
Recommended feedstock for maximum product includes:
Hard Plastics (i.e computer casings, car bumpers, plastic bottles, est).
HDPE
LDPE
PP
ABS
Waste Tyres.
Softer plastics can also be run through the Fueltech systems, but the end product results in more wax than multi-fuel. The wax can be put through additional stages but this increases the production cost.
This technology addresses the ever increasing problem regarding the disposal of tyres thanks to the processing thereof being done in the closed loop system. But the use for the technology doesn’t stop there. A generator is supplied with each plant, the size of which is dependent on the plant’s capacity. The generator is fuelled by the multi-fuel produced, therefore sustains the generator completely.
The energy can then be applied for personal use; however the possibility also exists to sell the electricity back on a grid to Eskom. The multi-fuel could be used, as mentioned, on a vast array of machinery (directly from the plant, without any additional mixing required) and includes generators (gas/diesel), furnaces est. The plant has an on-board computer that can be accessed remotely. The training required to operate the plant is very basic as the whole operation is almost computerised. A PLC meter will also enable the user to see the amount of litres produced whenever needed.
LP gas is produced as a by-product of the process and can be fed back into the process. The generator supplied uses about 15% of the multi-fuel produced and that allows the plant to be entirely self-sustaining. The technology therefore has immense possibilities. It prosses the ability to allow for communities to be self-sustainable, producing their own electricity and multi-fuel by means of waste plastic/tyres as feedstock. The concept also allows for job creation as feedstock can be gathered, sold to the user and then ultimately being used as feedstock.
A pilot plant was build and the multi-fuel produced was tested by an accredited institution.
The results was very satisfactory and meets the required standards for multi-fuel (including furnace / heating oil). The company runs a 150Kva generator on the Multi-Fuel since 2013. The electricity produced is used to power the entire manufacturing plant when needed, the full 150Kva is being utilised to power for the manufacturing plant with surplus power available.
When tyres were used as feedstock a recovery ratio of 40% - 45% was achieved and an conservative 65 - 75% recovery ratio was achieved when plastic was used. The by-products is Natural Low Pressure-gas and Carbon Black, both of which has an resell market. The technology therefore not only addresses the increasing problems related to waste plastic and tyre, but also allows for an cost effective, environmentally friendly way of re-using waste plastic and tyre.
