Siemens’ smart technologies strengthen recycling process of Plastic Energy

Source：Adsale Plastics Network Date ：2022-07-20 Editor ：JK

A pioneering partnership between Siemens and global chemical recycling expert Plastic Energy is helping divert plastic waste from landfills and incineration.

Plastic Energy developed a TAC recycling process, which converts plastic waste into a valuable substance called TACOIL, which serves as a feedstock to produce new plastics and can be used to make new products such as food-grade packaging.

TACOIL has been incorporated into more than 10 products and packaging on the European market from brands such as Unilever, Tupperware and L’OCCITANE en Provence.

The patented technology is currently used in two plants in Spain where Siemens’ automation and measurement technology, including SIMATIC PCS 7 and COMOS MRO, ensure the smooth running of control systems and overcomes the challenge of a complex mix of material consistency.

Siemens' automation and measurement technology has been used at Plastic Energy’s plant.

Now, to meet growing demand for plastic recycling, Plastic Energy is building several larger facilities across Europe, Asia and the US, starting with one in The Netherlands with partner SABIC.

These plants will be significantly upscaled and feature Siemens’ end-to-end technology solutions, including Distributed Control Systems (DCS), process instrumentation and low voltage switchgear in the form of SIVACON S8 technology.

The long-term collaboration will enable Plastic Energy to continually evolve its technology and process, implementing improvements for better efficiencies and product quality, and achieve flexibility and scalability for its plant designs.

Plastic Energy is also working with Siemens to unlock further potential using a digital twin. This powerful tool creates a virtual model to give better insights and closed loop optimisation of both process and plant performance.

"We have viewed working with Plastic Energy as a long-term partnership from the beginning of our relationship, which brings together the process and industry knowledge of Plastic Energy, with our innovative technology portfolio," said Steve Leech, Business Manager for Siemens Process Control Systems.

Carlos Monreal, CEO at Plastic Energy, stated, “Utilizing Siemens automation and processing software is important to ensure that our recycling plants are operating to their full potential, and that we are able to continue to recycle as much plastic waste as possible.”
