Plastic to Fuel Systems (PTF) are thermal conversion units that break down non-recyclable plastic waste into combustible fuel fractions, primarily diesel-range oil, gasoline-range oil, and combustible gas through a controlled pyrolysis or catalytic cracking process. As plastic pollution intensifies globally, industries and municipalities are under pressure to find alternatives to landfilling. PTF systems answer that demand by turning a liability into an energy resource. Kerone’s PTF technology is engineered around high-throughput batch and continuous pyrolysis reactors that handle mixed plastic waste streams including PE, PP, PS, and ABS, delivering consistent fuel yields with low residue output.
Why Choose Kerone Plastic to Fuel Systems
Kerone brings over four decades of thermal engineering experience to its Plastic to Fuel Systems. Unlike generic pyrolysis equipment available on the market, Kerone designs PTF plants around the specific plastic composition, moisture content, and production throughput of each client. The systems integrate precise temperature zoning, vapor condensation trains, and non-condensable gas recovery, ensuring maximum fuel yield and minimum environmental output. Kerone also provides KRDC-validated process configurations, meaning clients receive pilot-tested parameters before committing to full-scale investment. This reduces commissioning risk considerably and delivers predictable ROI from day one.
Types and Features of Plastic to Fuel Systems
Kerone offers both batch-type and continuous-feed Plastic to Fuel Systems depending on production volume and plastic feed consistency. Batch reactors are well-suited for smaller operations handling 1–5 TPD of plastic waste, while continuous systems are designed for 5–20+ TPD industrial and municipal-scale plants. The condensation system uses multi-stage cooling to separate diesel-range oil, light oil, and wax fractions. Each PTF unit is equipped with gas scrubbing and recycling circuits that route non-condensable gases back to the burner, reducing external fuel consumption. The reactor shell is fabricated from high-grade carbon or stainless steel with controlled-atmosphere sealing to prevent oxidation and unsafe pressure buildup.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Kerone's Plastic to Fuel Systems are designed to handle polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and ABS plastics. PVC and PET are generally excluded due to chlorine and oxygen content, which can damage equipment and affect fuel quality.
Depending on the plastic type, fuel yield typically ranges from 60% to 85% of the input plastic weight. PE and PP tend to yield the highest proportion of diesel-range oil, while PS produces a higher fraction of light oil.
Every Kerone Plastic to Fuel system includes an integrated gas scrubbing unit and a non-condensable gas recycling circuit. These components prevent raw pyrolysis gases from being vented to the atmosphere and minimize particulate and odour emissions.
Kerone offers Plastic to Fuel systems starting from 1 tonne per day (TPD) for small operations, scaling up to 20+ TPD for continuous industrial-grade plants. Custom configurations are available based on client feed volumes.
The diesel-range oil produced by Plastic to Fuel systems can be used in industrial burners, generators, and heavy machinery. For use in automotive engines, additional distillation or blending may be required to meet specific standards.
Typical commissioning timelines range from 3 to 6 months depending on plant capacity and site readiness. Kerone's KRDC validation process allows process parameters to be proven at pilot scale before full-plant construction begins.
Yes. Kerone provides end-to-end project delivery including process design, equipment fabrication, civil engineering coordination, installation, commissioning, and operator training for PTF plants.
Carbon black, or char, is a solid residue produced during pyrolysis. It can be used as a low-grade fuel, blended into road asphalt, or processed further into recovered carbon black (rCB) for rubber and pigment applications.
Yes. Kerone can design PTF systems to interface with upstream shredding, washing, and sorting equipment, creating a fully integrated plastic waste-to-fuel processing line.
All PTF systems include PLC-based automatic pressure monitoring, emergency pressure relief valves, reactor temperature interlocks, and flame arrestors on gas lines to ensure safe operation under all conditions.
Kerone offers co-processing configurations for plastic and tyre waste combinations. Biomass co-feeding is possible in some configurations but must be reviewed case by case due to moisture and ash content variations.
Routine maintenance includes periodic cleaning of the reactor chamber, condenser tube inspection, gas scrubber liquid replacement, and calibration of temperature and pressure sensors. Kerone provides detailed maintenance schedules with each system.
Standard mechanical recycling converts plastics back into raw material pellets, which requires clean, sorted input. PTF systems use thermal or catalytic cracking to convert mixed or contaminated plastic directly into fuel, making them suitable for plastics that are not mechanically recyclable.
Common search queries include 'plastic waste to diesel plant setup', 'pyrolysis oil from plastic waste process', 'plastic to fuel conversion machine price India', and 'non-recyclable plastic fuel conversion system'.
Yes. Kerone offers comprehensive after-sales services including spare parts supply, remote process diagnostics, on-site service visits, and operator retraining programs to ensure sustained plant performance.
