Module 2
Testing the technologies
This module shows how PLASTICE technologies are tested in real pilot and demo environments.
You will explore how the systems are operated, which parameters matter in practice, and what the results can tell us about scalability and real-world performance.
UNIT 2.1
Demo-sites for gasification and chemical post-treatment
Explore how the PLASTICE Italian demo-site supports testing and scale-up for gasification and chemical post-treatment. This unit shows how SRF is converted into syngas and how downstream conversion routes can produce DME and olefins in a controlled demo environment.
UNIT 2.2
Pilot-scale plant for Microwave-Assisted pyrolysis of plastics for oil obtention
Walk through the PLASTICE pilot-scale microwave-assisted pyrolysis plant developed in Spain. This unit presents the pilot setup, operating conditions, continuous feeding approach, and how plastic waste can be converted into pyrolysis oil for further valorisation.
UNIT 2.3
Enzymatic hydrolysis: Demonstrating mixed textile-waste recycling at pilot scale
See how enzymatic textile recycling is demonstrated at pilot scale across the PLASTICE value chain: from sorting and pretreatment to enzymatic hydrolysis, polyester recovery, and downstream steps such as granule production, spinning and fabric manufacturing.
UNIT 2.4
Hydrothermal liquefaction of plastics waste for olefins recovery: A technoeconomic feasibility study.
Explore a techno-economic case study on hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) integrated with steam cracking for olefins recovery. This unit explains the process configuration and presents key results on yields, energy demand, costs and economic feasibility.
