Carbex 5000, carbon extraction machine

[Category : - RENEWABLE ENERGY]
[Viewed 1449 times]

The small foot print Carbex 5000 machine is a specially designed for onsite gasification of Expanded Polystyrene and Polypropylene waste in clean or contaminated form. The Carbex 5000 eliminates the need to transport any waste off premises and is designed as a closed loop system that does not release any harmful VOC’s or unwanted smells into the atmosphere. The machine and frame can be manufactured with any type of metal including iron, stainless steel, titanium and aluminum. The reactor chamber heat is generated from either electric or gas and is conductive so as the waste product is never in direct contact with the heat source. Once the temperature of the reactor chamber has reached a temperature of a minimum of 800 degrees F or 427 degrees C the carbon extraction and gasification begins. The carbon vapors then travel upwards on its own to the top port area of the chamber and into the copper coiled tubing. Once in the copper tubing the gas travels through a series of coils that is submerged in a chilled coolant/water tank where the gas then converts into a liquid form of fuel oil and deposits into the holding tank with an attached open and shut mechanical valve for later retrieval

Carbex 5000
Background
This invention relates to using high temperature to gasify Polypropylene and Expanded Polystyrene (Styrofoam) waste into a usable fuel oil with a high c-tane level that will later be used for blending and stabilizing existing fuels.
Styrofoam products are widely used in the food service industry such as cafeteria’s and lunch rooms for storing and serving food and drink. Despite the suitability of Styrofoam for these purposes, the cost of its disposal along with the environmental impact it has on our natural resources, many are faced with finding alternative methods for its disposal. Presently, in cafeteria/lunchroom settings where they serve on Styrofoam trays, it is customary to dispose of the tray by either dumping the tray along with the remaining food left on the tray into the waste container and dispose of all of its contents. Others remove any food that is left on the tray and stack the contaminated trays into a garbage bag thus freeing up space in their dumpster.
Polypropylene products are widely used in many industries including the manufacturing of medical supplies for hospitals and operating rooms. This product is referred to in the industry as Blue Wrap. Other well known uses for polypropylene in the manufacturing of bristles for industrial brooms. Again, because of the cost of its disposal along with its environmental impact it has on our natural resources, many are faced with finding alternative methods of disposal. Presently, in hospital settings their choices of disposal of Blue Wrap is either through incineration of the contaminated plastic or the supplier of the Blue Wrap will pick-up the waste on an ongoing costly contracted basis.
In recent years numerous companies in the plastic recycling industry have developed machines and equipment for the purpose of recycling and source reduction of these products through hydraulic and pneumatic compression, heat transfer and chemical processes. These machines are generally used in large industrial settings along with strict processing requirements such as shredding, cleaning and filtering the waste plastics prior to their processing.
The present invention is directed at overcoming one or more of the problems set forth above
