In an era where plastic waste management demands urgent solutions, LG Chem has established a commercial pyrolysis plant in Dangjin, South Korea. The facility, operating with a 20,000-ton annual capacity, employs supercritical pyrolysis technology to convert mixed waste plastics into raw materials. Technical Innovation in Focus The plant’s supercritical pyrolysis process operates at elevated temperatures and pressures, processing mixed waste plastics into pyrolysis oil. Technical data reveals conversion efficiency – from 10 tons of plastic input, the system generates 8 tons of pyrolysis oil. The remaining two tons emerge as by-product gas, which powers the facility’s operations. Economic and Environmental … Continue reading LG Chem’s Dangjin Plant Converts 10 Tons of Plastic Waste into 8 Tons of Pyrolysis Oil Using Supercritical Technology
