Commercial-scale plant for conversion of polyolefin waste to fuels proceeds toward FID

This article was originally posted on Chemical Engineering Online.

Summary
Abundia Global Impact Group is advancing a first-of-its-kind commercial facility that co-locates polyolefin-waste pyrolysis with onsite upgrading to convert the resulting pyrolysis oil into finished fuels and chemical products, with the project moving toward a final investment decision (FID).

What do you see as the biggest enablers or barriers to scaling integrated waste-to-fuel plants like this (for example, consistent feedstock supply, technology readiness, regulations, or offtake agreements)?

A facility operated by Abundia Global Impact Group Inc. is unique in that it would be the first commercial-scale plant to combine, at the same site, a pyrolysis process to break down polyolefin waste with an upgrading section to process pyrolysis oil into final fuel and chemical products.

Pairing pyrolysis with on-site upgrading avoids moving unstable pyrolysis oil, but PVC contamination and fines often carry over as total Cl and metals that hammer hydrotreating catalysts and plug exchangers. In pilots I’ve seen fouling spike when total Cl in feed tops ~50 ppm. What’s the plan for front-end dechlorination and guard beds, and how will you utilize off-gas to keep the energy balance positive?
