JOB TITLE Freelance Chemical / Process Engineer – Plastic Pyrolysis Optimization PROJECT DESCRIPTION We operate a 7.5–8 TPD batch plastic pyrolysis plant processing LDPE, HDPE and PP. We are looking for a freelance Chemical / Process Engineer to help optimize plant performance and reduce wax formation. The plant is already operational. We need process optimization, not basic plant design. OBJECTIVE OF CONSULTATION • reduce wax formation percentage • increase liquid oil yield • increase diesel fraction (C12–C18 range) • improve vapour cracking efficiency • stabilize vapour temperature profile • optimize condenser temperature staging • improve consistency between batches PLANT CONFIGURATION (SUMMARY) • rotary batch pyrolysis reactor • 7.5–8 ton plastic per batch • feedstock: LDPE / HDPE / PP mixed plastic • non-catalytic process • multi-stage vapour residence path • mini tar removal vessel • vapour-liquid separator • 4 stage vertical condensers • 2 horizontal condensers • final polishing condenser • hydroseal system

I am a Chemical Process Engineer with 8 years of experience specializing in hydrocarbon processing, thermal cracking, and heat transfer. I have a strong technical background in optimizing reactor performance and liquid yields for complex chemical systems. I am highly interested in helping you solve the wax formation and yield issues in your LDPE/HDPE/PP pyrolysis plant. High wax formation typically indicates suboptimal cracking severity or residence time, leading to heavy paraffin carryover instead of the desired C_{12}–C_{18} diesel range. My approach to your project: Wax Reduction & Yield: I will analyze your temperature profiles to optimize thermal cracking severity, ensuring higher conversion to liquid oil. Vapor Stabilization: I will suggest strategies to stabilize vapor temperatures—critical in batch operations for consistent product quality. Condenser Performance: I will review your multi-stage condenser data to ensure efficient heat removal and proper fractionation of the diesel cut. Data-Driven Analysis: Using your plant readings, I will perform mass and energy balances to identify bottlenecks in your vapor pipeline and separator. Deliverables: Technical Review: A detailed analysis of your current process data. Improvement Roadmap: Actionable steps to increase diesel yield and reduce wax-related downtime. I am ready to review your plant data immediately. When can we discuss your current reactor configurations and temperature logs?
