Systems and Methods for Managing Asphaltenes and Aromatics

A method of reforming Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) containing asphaltenes and aromatics into re-usable components using a Proton-Rich Ionic Fluid (PRIF), comprising:

• configuring a reactor with a plurality of tanks, pumps, static mixers, and recirculators;
• the reactor accepting a water-based input fluid and a plurality of predetermined components;
• the reactor breaking covalent bonds in the water-based input fluid thereby separating out oxygen and electrons and isolating the remaining H1+ protons into free single protons;
• the reactor adjusting the water-based input fluid to have an abundance H1+ protons and reduction in oxygen and electrons;
• thereby
• transforming the water-based input fluid into the PRIF;
• soaking the MSW in the PRIF for a predetermined time period;
• separating the solid components of the MSW from the liquid components;
• drying the solid components;
• and
• purifying the liquids components of the MSW into reformed crude oil.
