This is a continuous fluid bed reactor which is designed to efficiently gasify hydrocarbons. This is the essential unit of almost all newer oil refineries and represents a repurposing of existing technology.
That comes later on. This plant just depolymerizes plastics into constituent hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons are made into plastics offsite at a dedicated plastics plant. Pellets are made by chopping extruded new plastic that is made from constituent hydrocarbons from the old plastic. Hope that makes sense?
Nuclear Energy would be the best clean way to provide the thermal energy needed for the process of steam cracking. Wood chips are an environmentally bad way to provide thermal energy, for many obvious reasons.
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooo much Sweden for recycling plastic in the most environment friendly way.
what's the difference with gassification? Gassification is not easier way to transform plastic in liquid new materials?

how is the new plastic pelletized?
