Plastics Recycling Technology Webinar
KBR now offers Hydro-PRT℠, an innovative and advanced plastics recycling technology, in alliance with Mura Technology Ltd.
Hydro-PRT is a sustainability-focused technology that recycles end-of-life plastic, including rigid plastics and thin plastic packaging such as plastic shopping bags and food wrap, which would otherwise be combusted, sent to landfills, or leaked into the environment. Hydro-PRT converts these mixed plastics into traditional oil (liquids) and gas, that can be further refined and upgraded to produce virgin polymers and chemicals – completing the waste plastic circulatory loop.
This process chemically recycles waste plastic through a process known as hydrothermal upgrading. With over 10 years of development, this is a one of a kind platform that’s proven at a large demo scale and, shortly, will be commercially demonstrated.
During this webinar, KBR will present:
- A detailed description of KBR’s Hydro PRT technology
- The process design, material preparation equipment, product yields and specifications
- Advantages of feedstock versatility, scalability, and operations flexibility
- An overview of hydrothermal upgrading
