Plastic Waste to Oil

Turning plastic waste into fuel oil, continuously.

Dawson Energy designs, builds and commissions continuous pyrolysis plants that convert plastic waste into plastic oil.

Our systems are already operating successfully on the ground, running automatically and around the clock. Once up to temperature, each plant fires itself on its own syngas.

Plastic that would otherwise go to landfill or open burning becomes a liquid fuel that earns revenue — with char as a solid by-product and syngas used within the plant.

Why Dawson

Engineered to run, not to sit idle.

Proven in operation

Our continuous pyrolysis systems are built, commissioned and running.

Low energy cost

After start-up, the plant runs on syngas from its own process.

Automatic & continuous

Plastic goes in and oil comes out, with no batch handling.

Limited manpower

A small crew runs the whole plant.

Flexible feedstock

Municipal, segregated and mixed plastic waste.

High quality char

The solid residue leaves the reactor clean and consistent.

Safety by design

Air-tight feeding, inert-gas purging, pressure protection, flame arrestors and PLC interlocks.

Low running cost

Low energy, low manpower and continuous output keep cost per litre down.
