Modular 5T pyrolysis plastic recycling systems now available to transform plastic waste and accelerate transition to a circular economy
ROHNERT PARK, Calif., March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Resynergi, a leading innovator in modular advanced plastic recycling technology, announced today the commercial offering of its proprietary Resynergi Modules, which are supplied, serviced and warrantied by innovation partner Lummus Technology. The Resynergi Modules utilize the Continuous Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis (CMAP) Technology engineered by Lummus, offering a decentralized, cost-effective solution to plastic recycling. This groundbreaking technology makes it easier than ever for material recovery facilities (MRFs), petrochemical companies and others to transform hard-to-recycle plastic waste into high quality circular pyrolysis oil to accelerate the circular economy.
Resynergi Modules are designed to be rapidly deployed to convert 5T per day of hard-to-recycle plastic waste into pyrolysis oil.
"The world can't wait for large factories and recycling facilities to come online to process our mounting plastic waste crisis," said Resynergi Chief Executive Officer Brian Bauer. "The commercial offering of our Resynergi Modules is a crucial milestone in the viability, speed and impact of a circular future for plastic. We're proud to have Lummus Technology as our trusted partner to bring our Resynergi Modules to market and make advanced recycling not only possible and profitable but friendly, safe and clean for local municipalities."
Commercial availability of the Resynergi Modules is a critical step in the company's mission to transform plastic into a valuable resource that is recaptured, repurposed and remade, rather than remaining a persistent pollutant.
"This milestone demonstrates how Lummus and Resynergi are advancing the circular economy with their decentralized solution which makes it easier and faster to transform plastic waste into valuable resources," said Leon de Bruyn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lummus Technology. "Now that the technology is available, we can work with customers to integrate this advanced solution into existing infrastructure, helping close the loop on plastic waste and drive sustainability in our industry."
Resynergi Modules are Purpose-Built – Small Footprint, Big Impact Leveraging Lummus Technology's extensive history in developing innovative technologies and associated equipment, Resynergi Modules are designed to be rapidly deployable, with a small footprint and convert meaningful volumes of hard-to-recycle plastic waste to liquid products.
Each Resynergi Module is engineered to convert 5 tons per day of plastic waste into pyrolysis oil, a valuable product that can be processed by refiners and petrochemical companies to produce circular polymers, enabling global CPG brands to close the loop on plastic waste and transition to a circular economy.
Modular Design – Allows for rapid deployment and scalability, making advanced recycling more affordable and versatile.
Compact Footprint – 10X smaller reactor footprint and system-on-a-skid design eliminates local waste management and municipality's typical square footage requirements for a "recycling plant."
High Quality Output – Pyrolysis oil that meets standards set by refinery partners for chemical recycling.
Ultra-Fast Conversion – Harnessing microwave energy, plastic molecules are broken down into oil in seconds, significantly faster than traditional pyrolysis reactors.
Clean Energy Efficiency and Environmentally Friendly Process – Resynergi CMAP Modules generate clean products with up to 68% CO2 reduction vs conventional polymer production.
Digitized Operations for Decentralized Plastic Recycling The Resynergi Modules can also leverage software from Lummus Digital, a Joint Venture between Lummus Technology and TCG-Digital. These digital capabilities integrate data collection, machine learning and artificial intelligence, ensuring reliable and sustainable operations. They can also monitor Resynergi Module installations offering real-time data for improved decision-making allowing operators to access expert advice and remote support. Available features include:
Real-Time Data Access: Monitor plants simultaneously with a 'Process & Asset Digital Twin'.
Enterprise Optimization: Ensure optimal plant scheduling by factoring in feedstock variability, plant capacities, utility pricing, and logistics.
Interactive Dashboards: View operations in 2D and 3D for clarity, ergonomics, and consistency, with immediate action alerts and status updates.
