Dehradun: The Indian institute of Petroleum (IIP) team of scientists headed by Madhukar Omkarnath Garg here, has succeeded after a decade-old relentless research work in extracting petroleum products out of thrown away plastic materials under a high technological process, which will not only solve the ecology effacement problem created by ordinary plastic which is banned from use in several state and cities. The team has 6 other scientists, all Indians. They have discovered a combined speed increasing method by which plastic undergoes change into gasoline (crude petroleum oil) or, Diesel or, perfume oil. As a bye –product of this new process, liquid petroleum Gas (LPG) was obtained!

IIP spokesman S.K. Sharma has described the feat of getting valuable petrol out of rejected plastics material (like sale bags and pouches) as a great achievement of Indian science. The entire project was sponsored and funded by GAIL which can now create petrol in large quantities, as a benefit secured by the new discovery put to economic capabilities, at large.

Another Specialty of this latest find is liquid fuel or gasoline or diesel that is equal to Euro III quality in use. A single row material is speeded up, and continuously turned on by several processes to obtain different products in due course. The entire technology is atmosphere friendly, unlike present crude oil refining processes which have spoilt air, water and land around the factory, as in MRPL. The rejected plastic material is got out at 5% from 100% pure plastic material, said Sanat Kumar, one of the scientists,.

Srikant Nanoti (another scientist) stated that small and large-scale industries can use the technology. Hat was a villain (plastic refuse) became a benefactor in 2006, 4 years after research progressed. One Kg plastic gives 700ML petrol 850ML Diesel, 500ML of perfumes, and LPG.
