[SPN-Discussion] NY Funders for Dec. 11: Applying Microwaves to Convert Plastics into High-Value Petroleum Products

[Gelvin Stevenson]

Hello, 

            

Recycling #1 and #2 plastics is relatively easy, but #3 through #6 still
pose problems. Or at least they did before Climax Global Energy came along. 

 

            Please joins us Friday, December 11, at 8:00am at Mintz Levin
(address and agenda at www.ceepinc.org). The presenting company, Climax
Global Energy, is commercializing its patented technology that converts
environmentally harmful waste (in addition to those plastics, it can process
waste oils, coal fines, and sludges) into an intermediate synthetic oil that
possesses premium specifications as a feedstock for transportation fuel,
synthetic lubricants and waxes. Climax will sell its product to oil
refiners, which will perform only minimal refinery processing to convert it
into the final product. 

 

The process involves a novel application of microwave chemistry and
innovative process engineering that cuts ("cracks") long-chain hydrocarbons
into fuel-range molecules. The company's pilot plant has been operating
since 2007 with excellent results.  The commercial plant will have a small
footprint (about the size of a convenience store.); low capital
requirements; high operating margins; an environmentally clean process which
is energy efficient and closed-loop process (can self-generate electricity);
and be able to process mixed/dirty non-recyclable plastics.

 

Please register at www.ceepinc.org, where you will also find additional
information about the company, venue and agenda. 

 

            Contact me with any questions. 

 

Best regards,

 

Gelvin
