Chemical recycling plant for industrial wastes

The Ecotron chemical recycling plant for industrial wastes developed in Belarus has no counterparts in the world.

The Ecotron recycling plant for industrial wastes developed in Belarus has no counterparts in the world. According to Alexander Matvejchuk, chief of the R and D laboratory of the Amir-C Ecological-Power Company, Ecotron was developed in co-operation with the Lykov Heat- and Mass-Transfer Institute of the Byelorussian Academy of Science. A number of Byelorussian and Russian patents prove the plant's uniqueness.

The plant is designed to recover ecological and power resources from various industrial wastes.

The principle of the plant operation is the chemical reprocessing of industrial wastes transforming them into energy carriers and other industrial feedstock.

According to Matvejchuk, the plant can fully recycle any hazardous chemical waste.

As a result, various products can be manufactured: gas fuel, which is an analogue of the natural one, high quality mazut, petrol, fuel for ships, diesel fuel, and a number of technical products such as carbon black, steel wire, etc The tentative appraisal puts the profits of an enterprise using Ecotron at USD 158/hour and the repay term at no more than half-year.
