QM RECYCLED ENERGY TAKES NEXT STEP IN NETWORK DEVELOPMENT WITH LAUNCH OF MODULAR PRE-TREATMENT SYSTEM

QM RECYCLED ENERGY (QMRE) has made a significant development in its plans to develop a national network of plastic waste-2-oil systems with the installation of a comprehensive pre-treatment system - necessary to help ensure the oil created from the plastic waste attains the required level of purity.

The Q20 QMRE Pre-treatment system is a modular, automated system designed to extract the required relevant polymers. It comprises a bale shredder, friction cleaner and fines segregation, wet shredder to size reduce the plastic waste to the optimum  for the VIXLA, and  a sink float tank to further segregate the specific polymers which are then compressed and finally dried in a cyclone before entering the storage silo, prior to being loaded into the VIXLA plastic waste-2-oil system.

The Q20 is a design exclusive to QMRE and integrates with the VIXLA V5 modular plastic waste-2-oil system which will process 20 tonnes per day. That means 20 tonnes a day of end-of-life plastics will be taken out of the environment - finally a solution to the problem of plastic waste.

The Q20 was constructed in Europe to QMRE's specifications and, in a logistically challenging exercise, was shipped to Kent and unloaded by a crack skate crew assisted by an 80-100 tonne crane, arranged by QMRE's haulage partners, Davies Turner.

Although a tricky exercise, the expertise of the contractors, aided by sterling work from QMRE's operatives, saw the entire operation completed in just half a day.

Now the Q20 is being prepared for commissioning trials. The next stage for QMRE is the imminent arrival of the UK's  first VIXLA V5 plastic waste-2-oil system.

Tim StClair-Pearce, QMRE CEO said, "The delivery of the Q20 pre-treatment system is an important stage in QMRE's development. We now look forward to receiving the VIXLA system very shortly."

Dave Garbett, QMRE Property & Sales director, complemented the crews. "Thanks to the skills of the contractors and the preparatory work of QMRE staff, what could have been a difficult installation passed off perfectly."
