APChemi

AP Chemi is an Indian company that supplies technology, machinery and services to convert unrecyclable plastic and tire waste into fuel oils.

The company’s plants use pyrolysis technology, which uses heats to chemically convert unrecyclable plastics and MLP. Under high temperatures of up to 450 degrees Celsius, polymer molecules in plastics get stretched and break into smaller molecules.

The waste is converted into vapour in an atmosphere devoid of oxygen. The vapor is put through a fractional condensation to get wax, oil and gas.

The wax is heated or refined into base oils for manufacturing grease. The oil can be used directly as fuel for industrial burners, refined into petroleum products like gasoline, or used in slow-speed generators. Sludge produced from the oil is used as a raw material for incineration.

Heat from exhaust gases is recovered, after which the gas is cleaned through scrubbing and let out in emissions.

The company’s pyrolysis reactor can process solids, semisolids, waxes, and liquids. It can also process biomass and waste oils. It has developed a patent-pending technology to process multi-layered packaging and plastic waste segregated from municipal waste.

The company supplies the technology and plants to clients across the world. It has set up plants in India, Kenya, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom.

It licenses its patented technologies and provides turnkey solutions to set up the machinery. It provides maintenance services including on-site engineering support and remote monitoring.

The company provides consultancy to companies on extended producer responsibility (EPR) and on pyrolysis processes. It conducts pilot trials and pre-feasibility studies.

It also runs its own facility to conduct research and machinery design. It has set up 15 plants in India and Kenya with an average capacity to recycle 12 tons of plastic per day.

The company’s plants have ISO 2001:2015 certified by TUV SUD. The company is in process of obtaining CE, ATEX & ASME certification.
