Abstract - The study focused on the design and

chemicals contained in the plastic. Plastic is generally

fabrication of a machine to extract base oil from waste plastic as an effort in finding environment-friendly means of waste recycling. This is the basic idea behind the paper. Besides helping to remove a lot of plastic waste generated thus creating a neat and tidy environment. It also helps to generate fuel which when converted to convenient form can be used as a source of energy The Pyrolysis process was the basis in the design and fabrication of the equipment. It is a prototype/laboratory scale model that will serve as baseline in developing technology for energy recovery from waste plastics. The main components were the reactor assembly, condensing chamber, vapor line assembly, smoke cleansing unit and the waste water collecting unit. The conversion of waste plastics into fuel is depend upon the type of the plastic that to be used for the conversion.

The paper titled “Design of Viable Machine to Convert Waste Plastic into Mixed Oil for Domestic Purpose” by Yasha Shukla, Hemant Singh, Shiwangi Sonkar and Deepak Kumar states in the abstract that the aim of the article is to provide a more efficient design of machine to convert waste plastic into mixed oil for domestic purpose. In this machine daily domestic waste like polyethene, polypropylene or normal plastic carrying bag are converted to oil. This machine employs a closed container (stainless steel), temperature controlling electric heater and layers of insulating materials, these materials make machine more efficient and safer for use. For effective pyrolysis process the temperature of stainless steel container (full of waste plastics) is raised by temperature controlling electric heater and for condensation process, water at room temperature is employed. The paper titled “Design, Fabrication and Performance Study of a Biomass Solid Waste Pyrolysis System for Alternative

1.INTRODUCTION This paper will be prepared based upon the properties of plastics. The crude oil will be prepared based upon the types of plastics and its properties. The conversion process of the crude oil will be determined by the pretreatment process. Based on the various conversion techniques the crude oil will be extracted from the wastage of plastics. Although the impact of waste plastic to our health and environment may not always cause noticeable harm or destruction, research indicates that plastic waste in landfill and in badly managed recycling systems could be having an impact from the © 2017, IRJET

becomes carbon sink and if incinerated it increases carbon emissions It is the process of conversion of plastic to mixed oil in an inert atmosphere or oxygen free atmosphere at elevated temperature. It is used to produce liquid fuel similar to diesel with a higher cetane value and lower sulphur content than traditional diesel6. The advantage of pyrolysis over landfill and incineration is in terms of environmental protection because it reduces the risk of air, water and soil pollution. In pyrolysis, the possibility of recycling is improved, because the resulting product such as gas and liquid can be used as combustible fuel to substitute fossil fuels.
