Customer Story

Advanced Fractionation of Waste Plastic Pyrolytic Oil in Refinery-Type Rectification Units 

Discover how CHEMCAD was used to assess refinery-inspired fractionation strategies for upgrading waste plastic pyrolytic oil into more valuable product streams.  

What the case study covers: 

  • Comparing multiple rectification configurations for processing waste plastic pyrolytic oil. 
  • Benchmarking pyrolytic-oil fractionation approaches against conventional refinery operations. 
  • Analyzing boiling-point distributions and product characteristics through simulation. 
  • Evaluating process simplification opportunities while maintaining upgrading objectives.
