 ABSTRACT
The principal fuels utilized in all automation systems around the world are diesel,
petrol, kerosene, naphtha. Given that existing fuel manufacturing is not ecologically friendly,
the potential of the Syngas Plastic-To-Fuel machine to manufacture fuel is consistent with the
company's claim of providing green energy.

The PTF Conversion system provides an integrated plastic waste processing system as
a realistic, affordable, and environmentally responsible alternative to landfill disposal,
incineration, and recycling. The Syngas Plastic-to-Fuel Conversion Plant provides an
effective, cheap, and environmentally responsible alternative to the present recycling and
disposal of plastic waste. The Syngas Plant is constructed in a way that allows for modular
construction. A single module can generate up to 80% of the fuel oil required for every tonne
of typical plastic waste processed. Plants can process 5 tonnes to more than 100 tonnes of
plastic garbage each day. The ratio of plastics feed and diesel produced 1:1. Which mean 1 kg
of plastics feed will produce 1 litre of oil. By adding more modules, the overall capacity of
the plant can be easily increased. Hence, excellent quality Sulphur Low Cetane
Environmental Technology Diesel oil is a type of fuel oil that is manufactured.

Since, there are a few of problems during the production, the machines are still in the
research and development stage for almost 14 years. One of the major issues is the irregular
rate of evaporation, which has adversely affected the machine's expected output. The current
test unit should receive 40 kg of plastic waste every hour, or one tonne of plastic waste per
day. Various types of plastics with varying densities, such as, High Density Polyethylene
(HDPE), Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and Polystyrene (PS) will be
analysed to study the characteristic of products. The materials affect the rate of evaporation,
which affects the output differently. Adjustments will be made using the information in
accordance with the materials being used. The project must be run several times using
various materials and a different machine in order to meet its objectives. Although the project
was still on going, the trainee has gained valuable working experience and managed to
complete the industrial training report.

 CHAPTER 2: COMPANY OVERVIEW

2.1 About Syngas Sdn. Bhd.

Figure 0:The company logo

Kejuruteraan Yuhana Sdn Bhd, founded in 1984, was renamed Mensilin Green Energy Sdn
Bhd (MGE) in 2014 with the ambitious goal of pursuing Renewable Energy and Energy
Efficiency projects, specialising in active and passive energy conservation measures for
commercial and industrial buildings and facilities. In order to implement its diversification
strategy, MGE purchased 100% of Syngas Sdn. Bhd.'s shares in 2017.

Syngas Sdn Bhd is a company that produced diesel oil from plastics. The Syngas
Conversion Machine (PTF) transforms waste plastic into diesel oil and ultra-low sulphur
diesel fuel. PTF Technology registered with the Malaysia Commissioner of Patents and Trade
Marks (MyIPO) on January 30, 2014, with registration number MY-150550-A. PTF has also
been granted worldwide patents in 60 countries.

Figure 3: Syngas X5LQ Design

 Figure 4: P&ID for Plastic-To-Fuel Machine

The fractional depolymerization process is used to effectively transform plastics into

crude oil, which is then processed again to create diesel oil. The system offers an integrated
plastics waste processing system that is both a feasible, cost-effective, and ecologically
responsible alternative to recycling, landfill disposal, and incineration of garbage
management approach. The 5 tons/day Plastic-to-Fuel (PTF) technology is a world first.
Using waste plastics as raw material, this method can manufacture high-quality fuel (Euro
V). The Syngas PTF Continuous Conversion Systems are based on a cutting-edge, globally
patented technology that offers significant advantages over the "conventional pyrolysis
process" plastic-to-fuel conversion system.

Below are the flow of Plastic-to-Fuel technology:

• Feedstocks are inserted into the extruder through the feeding system.

• The extruder screws will be tightened up and push the feed to the RT1.

• The load in the RT1 will then evaporate to the catalyst chamber 1 and be
collected in tank 1 as heavy fuel oil (HFO)

• The process continues from tank 1 as the liquid flows into Tank 2 through a
connector.

• The liquid in RT2 will undergo an evaporation process through catalyst

chamber 2.

4
 • Then, it will be collected in tank 2 as Diesel, and some of it will condense
through condenser 2 and be collected as Light Fuel Oil (LFO) in a collection
tank.

• The output will then be stored in a storage tank.

2.2 Company’s Vision and Mission

Syngas Sdn. Bhd.'s aim is to provide a healthier living environment for the next generation,
as stated in their mission statement, "building a brighter future."

Its primary goal is to turn trash into highly marketable green renewable energy sources such
as petrol, diesel, kerosene, naphthalene, ethanol, and methanol.

2.4 Occupational Safety and Health

Occupational safety and health (OSH) are vital in industries such as diesel production
because workers are exposed to a variety of possible dangers. A complete approach is
required to ensure the safety and well-being of employees in a diesel production facility.

Hence, Syngas Sdn. Bhd. assure everyone in the production area to wear appropriate
PPE, such as safety goggles, gloves, flame-resistant clothing, and respiratory protection, as
necessary to mitigate specific hazards. Other than that, diesel production involves various
machinery and equipment. Regular inspections, maintenance, and guarding of moving parts
are essential to prevent accidents. Next, while handling highly flammable fuel, adequate fire
prevention measures must be in place, such as fire suppression systems, extinguishers, and
emergency evacuation plans.

Furthermore, employees must wear safety helmets because they are the first line of
protection against head injuries when worn properly. The safety helmet aids in the prevention
of item penetration and the absorption of shock from strikes. The aim of the double strap is to
tighten the safety helmet when it is worn. Employees are required to wear safety helmets in
the factory since there is a forklift and they work at heights. Safety boots are essential for
preventing or, at the absolute least, decreasing the severity of foot injuries while working.
Steel-toed safety boots help prevent injuries by lowering the danger of slips, falls, and
accidents caused by falling objects.

 CHAPTER 3: TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
3.1 Role of Unit

On her first day, the trainee was assigned to the Research, Development, and Operations
department at the Terengganu factory, and her company supervisor is Mr. Mohamad
Ashraf Zulnizam. At this company, the trainee is responsible for monitoring and
recording the data generated by the Plastic-To-Fuel machine every hour. She must then
participate in the creation of the diesel by weighing the product and pouring it into the
prepared diesel tank. My colleagues and I are occasionally required to perform machine
maintenance, primarily for Reactor 1 and Reactor 2. The procedure involved removing
the residue in Reactor 1, opening the gaskets in Reactors 1 and 2, and measuring the
remaining system in Reactors 1 and 2. Other than that, the trainee was assigned to apply
rock wool at Reactor 2 to maintain the temperature. Next, the student also involved to
welcome the visitors and need to do plastic waste characterisation study at Sungai Kandis,
Selangor.

3.2 Expectation

The company can expect certain things from an intern after the completion of their
internship. Firstly, they can anticipate that the intern will be receptive to feedback and
open to constructive evaluation of their performance during the internship. This
willingness to learn and grow is an essential quality in any prospective employee.
Additionally, the company can expect that the intern will maintain and nurture the
professional relationships they've established during their time at the organization.
These connections could prove valuable for future collaborations or networking
opportunities. Furthermore, the company can reasonably hope that the intern may
speak positively of their experience and provide references or recommendations if
they are satisfied with the intern's contributions. While offering a full-time position
may not always be possible, the company can expect that the intern will leave with
enhanced skills and experience, which could potentially make them a more attractive
candidate in the job market. Ultimately, the company can look forward to the intern
continuing to grow professionally and potentially becoming an asset to the
organization in the future.

3.4 Task of Internship

The main job was given to the student is to assist in diesel production and do machine
maintenance at Syngas Sdn. Bhd. Also, the student have to do Plastic Waste Collection at
Sungai Kandis, Selangor.

11
 3.4.1 Assist in Diesel Production

Table 4: Assist in diesel production

Step Task Proof

Open water valve in horizontal position. The switch of the water
pump and the cooling tower switch.

Switched on the Plastic-To-Fuel machine by turning the large

button to the right. Control power need to be turned on also
to open the control panel of the extruder.

Switched on the main switch for induction heater and extruder.

Started the induction heater by turning it on and pressing the

green button until the value 071 appeared. The large red button
must be turned clockwise to increase the value while anti-
clockwise to reduce the value of the induction heater.

12
 Extruder temperature was set to 270°C in Zone 1 and increased
by 10 degrees in each following Zone until Zone 9. Next, the
temperature had to be monitored and recorded every one hour

Monitored and recorded the power for induction heater and

extruder, the temperature for reactor 1 and reactor 2 and the data
of the hose heater.

The plastic pellets were feed into the hopper when the
hopper sounds the alarm. The maximum weight at one time
is 10 kg. The plastic pellet used are HDPE.

13
 Took the discharged product from the Plastic-To-Fuel machine
which is diesel and weighed the product using a loadcell. Lastly,
the diesel were store in IBC tank.

Filled out the prepared excel sheet with the data.

14
3.4.2 Machine Maintenance
During the production of the diesel, supervisor and trainee observe the machines to
make sure the diesel produced was sufficient to the plastics pellets input. However, the diesel
produced were not match the amount of plastic pellet feed into the hopper. The temperature
of Reactor 2 was increase slowly. The leaking at extruder were occur due overflow. Hence,
the production of the diesel was stop to continue with machine maintenance.

Figure 7:Plastic wax leaking at extruder

Then, the gasket on Reactor, the pipe connecting Reactor 1 to Rector 2 must be
opened to know any clogs at that area. Hence, the plastic wax was found clog in metal pipe
connecting Reactor 1 and Reactor 2. Therefore, the trainee needs to dug out the plastic wax
using chisel and other tools.

Figure 8: Plastic was clog at discharge of Reactor 2

15
After that, the trainee together with other colleagues continue to clean out plastic cokes in
Reactor 1. From that, answer for temperature drop can be identified since the plastic cokes in
Reactor 1 can reduce the efficiency.

Figure 9: Plastic cokes in Reactor Figure 10: Reactor 1 after been

1 cleaned

Other than that, the trainee also assisted in changing water filter from cooling tower. The
trainee noticed the induction sound an alarm before suddenly shut off. Therefore. The trainee
decided to change the water filter.

Figure 11: Filter that has been changed.

After that, during the second batch of diesel production, the supervisor noticed that
temperature at Reactor 1 drop and the diesel produced were not sufficient. The trainee was
asked to clear the residue in Reactor 1 together with engineers. Hence, the production once

16
again must be stop to identify the problems. Therefore, the gasket of Reactor 1 was opened
and noticed Reactor 1 were full with plastic wax at top. Then, plastics wax again been clean
out. Next, when the plastic wax had been cleaned out at top o reactor, the colleagues noticed
that the bottom part of Reactor 1 filled with plastic cokes. The plastic cokes were dug out abd
crushed to clean the Reactor 1.

Figure 12: Hard plastic wax Figure 13: Plastic cokes at the
at top of Reactor 1 bottom of Reactor 1

Then, the trainee was asked to install rock wool at Reactor 2. The rockwool was used as
insulation. Insulation is crucial to prevent heat loss in Reactor 2. Also, insulation can
decrease the energy demands of heating or cooling systems. The temperature of Reactor 2
must be maintained between 300°C - 350°C.

17
 Figure 14: Rockwool installed around Reactor 2

On the last day of internship, trainee assisted in disassembling Reactor 1. This is due to the
condition of the reactor were not efficient to produce diesel since its was used at a long
period. The reactor will be installed with the new one.

3.4.4 Plastic Waste Collection

On the second week of September, the trainee together with other colleagues were assigned
to do an outstation work at Sungai Kandis, Selangor. The aim this project was to collect 30
kg of each type of plastics. The plastics include, High Density Polyethylene(HDPE),
Polypropylene(PP), Polyethylene terephthalate(PET) and Polystyrene(PS). The plastics
wastes were collected at waste trap around Sungai Kandis. Additionally, the wastes are going
to use to examine the characteristics of oil produced.
