Abstract
Creating a sustainable energy and environment, alternative energy is needed to be developed instead of using fossil fuels. This research describe a comparison of the use of pyrolysis oils which are the tire pyrolysis oil, plastic pyrolysis oil and diesel oil in the assessment of engine performance, and feasibility analysis. Pyrolysis oils from waste tire and waste plastic are studied to apply with one cylinder multipurpose agriculture diesel engine. It is found that without engine modification, the tire pyrolysis offers better engine performance whereas the heating value of the plastic pyrolysis oil is higher. The plastic pyrolysis oil could improve performance by modifying engine. The economic analysis shows that the pyrolysis oil is able to replace diesel in terms of engine performance and energy output if the price of pyrolysis oil is not greater than 85% of diesel oil.
Highlights
Due to the fossil fuel crisis in past decade, mankind has to focus on developing the alternate energy sources such as biomass, hydropower, geothermal energy, wind energy, solar energy, and nuclear energy
The economic analysis shows that the pyrolysis oil is able to replace diesel in terms of engine performance and energy output if the price of pyrolysis oil is not greater than 85% of diesel oil
As the comparison usage of this research is in diesel engine, the pyrolysis oil from process is a mixture of carbon composition which are C5-C20 in tire pyrolysis oil and C10-C30 in plastic pyrolysis oil
Summary
Due to the fossil fuel crisis in past decade, mankind has to focus on developing the alternate energy sources such as biomass, hydropower, geothermal energy, wind energy, solar energy, and nuclear energy. The waste to energy technology is investigated to process the potential materials in waste which are plastic, biomass and rubber tire to be oil. The tire pyrolysis oil and plastic pyrolysis oil have been investigated and found that they both are able to run in diesel engine and the fuel properties of the oils are comparable to diesel oil [3,4]. Both pyrolysis oils are a complex mixture of C5-C20 organic compounds. This research describes a comparison of the use of pyrolysis oils which are the tire pyrolysis oil and plastic pyrolysis oil in the assessment of engine performance, environmental impact, and feasibility analysis.
