Continuous reflux reactor under pressure and controlled condenser system for thermochemical treatment of plastic and/or elastomeric waste

A method of thermochemical treatment of plastic waste, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a system for thermochemical treatment of plastic waste including:
• a continuous reflux reactor configured to receive and pyrolyze melt polymer to form gasified hydrocarbons;
• a cyclone in fluid communication with the continuous reflux reactor and configured to refine the gasified hydrocarbons;
• and
• a condenser system in fluid communication with the cyclone and configured to perform a controlled condensation of the gasified hydrocarbons to produce separate oils;
• heating the melt polymers in the continuous reflux reactor until the melt polymer gasifies and forms the gasified hydrocarbons;
• pumping the gasified hydrocarbons from the continuous reflux reactor through a flux valve to the cyclone;
• heating the gasified hydrocarbons within the cyclone until the gases reach a pre-determined temperature and pressure;
• pumping the gasified hydrocarbons from the cyclone to the condenser system;
• and
• cooling and condensing the gases into the separate oils.
