Anellotech is pleased to announce that it is offering drum-quantity product samples of aromatics produced from recycled mixed waste plastics. The recycled benzene, toluene and xylenes (BTX) will be available to current and potential commercial partners.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The samples are made at Anellotech\u2019s TCat-8\u00ae <\/sup><\/strong>facility \u2014 a fully automated, 30-meter-tall pilot plant located inside Trecora\u2019s Silsbee, Texas facility\u2014 during ongoing studies demonstrating Anellotech\u2019s Plas-TCat\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> catalytic pyrolysis technology. TCat-8 can operate 24\/7 and converts a representative mixed waste plastics feedstock \u2014 including all major plastic types, with the exception of PVC, into BTX, light olefins and paraffins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnellotech can offer BTX samples made directly from mixed waste plastics to potential commercial partners to encourage engagement with our program\u201d says David Sudolsky, President and CEO of Anellotech<\/strong>. \u201cUnlike thermal pyrolysis, Plas-TCat makes BTX and other chemicals in one reactor, providing true 100-percent recycled BTX (not mass balance approach) for studies today and eventual future commercial use.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Based on a proprietary catalyst and fluid bed reactor-regenerator system, Plas-TCat provides a new, direct route to light olefins and aromatics from plastic waste streams \u2014 such as polyolefins, polyamides (nylon), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate and polystyrene \u2014 without the need for steam cracker furnaces. The resulting output of benzene, toluene and xylenes, as well as ethylene, propylene and butylene (light olefins), are suitable after separation for plastics manufacturers to produce a wide range of virgin plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information see\u00a0Plas-TCat update<\/a>,\u00a0video<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Founded in 2008, Anellotech is a sustainable technology company focused on commercializing the innovative production of cost-competitive renewable chemicals and fuels from non-food biomass or waste plastics. Its fully developed and patented Bio-TCat\u2122 technology is an efficient thermal catalytic process for converting biomass into benzene, toluene and xylenes, which are chemically identical to their petroleum-based counterparts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Anellotech is pleased to announce that it is offering drum-quantity product samples of aromatics produced from recycled mixed waste plastics.
