Pearl River, N.Y, November 29, 2022 — Anellotech is pleased to announcethat it is offering drum-quantity product samples of aromatics produced fromrecycled mixed waste plastics. The recycled benzene, toluene and xylenes(BTX) will be available to current and potential commercial partners.

‍

The samples are made at Anellotech’s TCat-8® facility — a fully automated,30-meter-tall pilot plant located inside Trecora’s Silsbee, Texas facility—during ongoing studies demonstrating Anellotech’s Plas-TCat® catalyticpyrolysis technology. TCat-8 can operate 24/7 and converts a representativemixed waste plastics feedstock — including all major plastic types, with theexception of PVC, into BTX, light olefins and paraffins.

“Anellotech can offer BTX samples made directly from mixed waste plasticsto potential commercial partners to encourage engagement with ourprogram,” says David Sudolsky, President and CEO of Anellotech. “Unlikethermal pyrolysis, Plas-TCat makes BTX and other chemicals in one reactor,providing true 100-percent recycled BTX (not mass balance approach) forstudies today and eventual future commercial use.”

‍

Based on a proprietary catalyst and fluid bed reactorregenerator system, Plas-TCat provides a new, direct routeto light olefins and aromatics from plastic waste streams— such as polyolefins, polyamides (nylon), polyethyleneterephthalate (PET), polycarbonate and polystyrene —without the need for steam cracker furnaces. The resultingoutput of benzene, toluene and xylenes, as well as ethylene,propylene and butylene (light olefins), are suitable afterseparation for plastics manufacturers to produce a widerange of virgin plastics.
