Dutch Delfzijl Plant Produces Aromatic Compounds from Plastic Waste

en.Wedoany.com Reported - The BioBTX plant in Delfzijl, the Netherlands, has entered into a technical partnership with BlueAlp, adopting BlueAlp's patented pyrolysis process to convert post-consumer mixed plastic waste into gas-phase vapor. Subsequently, BioBTX utilizes its proprietary integrated cascade catalytic pyrolysis technology to transform the vapor into circular aromatic compounds, which are key chemical building blocks for a wide range of materials.

The plant is capable of processing approximately 20,000 metric tons of mixed plastic waste annually. BlueAlp is responsible for the detailed engineering, design, and manufacturing of the pyrolysis unit, which is currently being produced at its headquarters in Eindhoven. Modules are expected to be shipped to the Delfzijl site for integration starting December 2026.

Ton Vries, CEO of BioBTX, stated: "After extensive evaluation, we chose BlueAlp because of its continuous process and proven technology, which has reached Technology Readiness Level 9. Combining BlueAlp's technology with BioBTX's ICCP technology will create a best-of-both-worlds solution, poised to reshape the future of the circular chemical industry."

Valentijn de Neve, CEO of BlueAlp, noted: "The collaboration with BioBTX is a significant milestone for BlueAlp, allowing us to play a greater role in the circular aromatics market. The combined technologies provide direct access to circular benzene, toluene, and xylene."
