In the process, waste plastic is heated to the reaction temperatures inside a Reaction vessel, in the presence of a catalyst. The<br />
plastic then starts degrading into low molecular weight monomers. The monomers re-combine to form petroleum vapours having<br />
different chains of hydrocarbons. The vapours are condensed to form light fuels. Here, the catalysts play a vital role and with the<br />
tweaking of catalysts we can convert the plastics to either LPG or Liquid fuels similar to Petrol .<br />
