1. Description : Plastic waste can be received from several supply streams.Plastic waste from the open environment (ocean, landfill…), that is contaminated with organics and degraded by the weather , salt water and other factors. Plastic from laboratories and hospitals that are contaminated and need to be discarded. Plastic waste from municipalities. Plastic waste from industries.

Critical Steps Breakdown - Main Issues 1) Due to clogging state of the art research in the field of HTL struggles to keep

the process operational in continuous setups (ex: tubular reactors). We offer a flexible reactor design which main purpose is to reduce clogging. By achieving continuous operation testing for 48h would bring our technology a substantial technological advantage and guaranteeing a high chance of industrial scaling.

2) Testing the performance and quality to meet feasibility requirements. Over a range of feed compositions the system has to deliver enough valuable products or beneficial environmental impact to justify the process.

Requirement specification (especifics) - The storage area will accept the waste plastic delivered to the facility, if the plastic does not meet the

quality requirements a first pretreatment of bulk grinding to achieve metal separation is performed. - The feed needs to be fine ground to powder prior loading into the reactor. - If the reactor has been idle a start procedure is needed followed by system health check up:

pressure control stable, temperature requirements met throughout the reactor, pumping system delivering expected fluxes; when all subsystems of the reactor prove to be functional loading of the feed follows.

- The plastic powder is fed to the mixing unit which mixes vigorously the powder (30%w/w) and water (70%w/w) to produce a relatively homogeneous suspension (slurry) which can be pumped into the system between 280-320 atm.

- The slurry is heat up to 90C and mixed with preheated supercritical water (500C) while entering the main heating unit

- After reaction follows discharge, water recirculation and flammable gas recirculation, product collection.
