Technology Unit

: Solid Particles Filter
: Quantafuel PtL
Short Name: Filter
Description: The first hydrocarbon fluid leaving the primary cracking reactor after the pyrolysis reaction is filtered to remove carbon particles formed in the primary cracker and not discharged as solids e.g. char. In order to protect the process units downstream, contaminants such as sand, glass, and unreacted plastic need to be either collected with char and solids at the bottom/end-part of the primary cracking reactor, or filtered when transported by the fluid exiting the primary cracker.
