Agricultural waste plastics conversion into high energy liquid hydrocarbon fuel by thermal degradation process

Abstract

For worldwide cultivation purposes farmers use numerous plastics. To cultivate watermelon, grapes, pumpkin, 
cucumber, potatoes, etc. they use polyethylene poly bags or polyethylene sheets. Polyethylene poly bags parts and 
polyethylene sheets are used to protect Crops from adverse situation such as natural disaster, muddy water and 
some external parasites insects. After that, the used plastics become a waste and they are non-biodegradable. Most 
common way to deal with those agricultural waste plastics is landfill/incineration. However this method is not a 
sustainable solution in the long run, because it will create ecological problems. So the problems of waste agriculture 
plastics cannot be solved by landfilling/incineration. Because safe depots are expensive and incineration stimulates 
the growing emission of harmful green house gases for example, NOx, SOx, COx etc.; Natural State Research, Inc. 
(NSR) can resolve the problems of agricultural waste plastics by converting it into high energy liquid hydrocarbon 
fuel. Produced fuel can be use alternative of Gasoline, Diesel, Heating oil, and Aviation fuel. To mitigate the present 
market demand we can substitute the method as a potential source of energy.
