The technology proposed here will contribute to all aspects of the energy trilemma as well as offering acommunity-scale solution for waste management. This project will investigate, process model and validate afurther step being added onto an existing Advanced Thermal Treatment (ATT) plant, post-pyrolysis, which willenable valuable products to be recovered. These products will include liquid fuels, and the work describedhere will build on a process model developed during a round 3 Energy Catalyst project, validated through pilot-scale pyrolysis trials of specified waste materials. The stored fuels opens up the opportunity of stored fuels forlocal use derived from low-value, but ever-present, materials. The objectives of this project are to: 1)determine the types and abundance of plastics available in feedstocks, 2) model and validate the chemicalcomposition of the feedstocks and the conversion to condensed liquid outputs, and 3) develop a business casefor commercialisation of the liquid fuels and chemical products in both the UK and in Nigeria. This provingprocess will help unlock further investment and ensure that the UK is at the forefront of flexible ATT processes.

这里提出的技术将有助于能源三难困境的各个方面，并为废物管理提供可持续规模的解决方案。该项目将调查，工艺模型和验证进一步的步骤被添加到现有的高级热处理（ATT）工厂，后热解，这将使有价值的产品被回收。这些产品将包括液体燃料，这里描述的工作将建立在第三轮能源催化剂项目期间开发的过程模型上，通过特定废物的中试规模热解试验进行验证。储存的燃料开辟了储存燃料的机会，供当地使用，这些燃料来自低价值，但一直存在的材料。该项目的目标是：1）确定原料中可用塑料的类型和丰度，2）模拟和验证原料的化学成分和向冷凝液体输出的转化，以及3）在英国和尼日利亚开发液体燃料和化学产品商业化的商业案例。这一证明过程将有助于释放更多的投资，并确保英国处于灵活的ATT流程的最前沿。
