The accumulation of waste polymer in ecosystems is a problem that affects the environment on global scale. This paper presents design Pwave+, microwave pyrolysis system has been optimized to recycle into valuable hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals. Heating oven both volumetric rapid, which improves effectiveness quality product. production oil gas products was boosted its full potential by continuous vortex reactor. product gases allowed for complete independence terms energy production. Modeling, simulation, experimentation with advanced technology are used optimize parameters performance As result, simulation programming solutions problems. results this study demonstrated technical viability long-term as method recycling mixed streams. Pwave+ reactor described study. It capable converting various streams well energy. use microwaves assist process cut down plastic pollution amount dumped landfills. could provide insights commercialization similar systems.
