Plastic-to-liquid (PtL) pilot plant
Description
Vinci Technologies designs plastic-to-liquid (PtL) pilot plants to convert plastic waste directly into valuable liquid hydrocarbons using advanced thermal-catalytic conversion technology. These systems can process a wide range of waste streams — including unsorted municipal plastics — transforming them into liquid products suitable for reuse as feedstock in polymer production or other industrial applications. By enabling the conversion of current waste that would otherwise be landfilled or incinerated, PtL pilot plants contribute to both circular carbon use and reduced fossil feedstock reliance.
Features
Thermal-catalytic conversion of mixed plastic waste
Production of low-sulfur liquid hydrocarbons
Modular and versatile pilot design for testing catalyst performance and process conditions
Potential integration upstream of existing petrochemical plants
Use cases: Waste valorisation, circular economy initiatives, catalyst evaluation for carbon-negative feedstocks
Benefits
* Waste-to-value conversion by transforming mixed plastic waste into usable liquid hydrocarbons instead of landfilling or incineration.
* Support for circular carbon strategies through the production of reusable feedstocks that reduce dependence on fossil resources.
* Flexible pilot-scale testing enabling optimization of catalysts and process conditions before industrial deployment.
