據(jù)烴加工網(wǎng)站3月22日消息 維多已與丹麥WPU公司達成戰(zhàn)略合作伙伴關系，該公司將廢舊塑料回收產(chǎn)出塑料油。維多將承購和銷售WPU在哥本哈根北部奧德謝雷德市法雷維耶新建的熱解廠生產(chǎn)的再生塑料油，該廠預計將于2023年初投產(chǎn)，另外兩座工廠將于2023年第三季度投產(chǎn)，這些工廠的綜合產(chǎn)能將為16萬噸/年廢塑料。

塑料可以機械回收多達6-7次。在這一點上，塑料中的基石受損嚴重，需要焚燒或填埋。然而，通過熱解，WPU現(xiàn)在可以將過時的塑料轉(zhuǎn)化為新產(chǎn)品。從廢物到可持續(xù)能源的轉(zhuǎn)變基于一種叫做熱解的技術，這種技術可以在高溫下處理塑料。塑料油可用于生產(chǎn)新的塑料產(chǎn)品，或作為回收的碳燃料。

維多發(fā)起負責人Chris Bake表示：“歐盟每年產(chǎn)生1700多萬噸廢塑料，在當?shù)鼗厥账芰峡梢宰畲笙薅鹊販p少運輸排放，并支持歐洲化學品企業(yè)。我們打算成為歐洲循環(huán)經(jīng)濟的一個組成部分，很高興與WPU一起邁出這一重要的一步。”

WPU董事會主席尼爾斯·斯蒂倫德表示：“與維多的戰(zhàn)略合作伙伴關系使WPU能夠繼續(xù)保持強大的未來生產(chǎn)線。維多對全球能源市場和可持續(xù)燃料有著深刻的了解，完全有能力支持我們的進一步發(fā)展和擴張。”

Vitol to invest in plastics recycling company WPU

Vitol has entered into a strategic partnership with Danish company WPU, which recycles waste plastic into plastic oils. Vitol will offtake and market the recycled plastic oils generated by WPU’s new pyrolysis plant in Faarevejle in Odsherred Municipality north of Copenhagen, which is expected to open in early 2023, with an additional two plants to be opened by Q3 2023. The combined capacity of these plants will be 160,000 metric tpy of waste plastic.

Plastic can be recycled mechanically up to 6-7 times. At this point, the building blocks in the plastic are so damaged that they need to be incinerated or deposited in landfill. However, through pyrolysis WPU can now convert obsolete plastic into new products. The transformation from waste to sustainable energy is based on a technology called pyrolysis that processes the plastic at high temperatures. The plastic oils can be used in the production of new plastic products or as recycled carbon fuels.

Chris Bake, head of origination, Vitol said, “Each year over 17 MMt of waste plastic is generated in the EU, recycling plastics locally minimizes transport emissions and supports European chemicals businesses. We intend to be an integral part of Europe’s circular economy and are delighted to be taking this important step with WPU.”

Niels Stielund, Chairman of the Board at WPU said, “The strategic partnership with Vitol enables WPU to continue a strong future production line. We could not have wished for a better partnership. Vitol, with its deep knowledge of the global energy markets and sustainable fuels, is in a perfect position to support us in our further development and expansion.”
