Locally Converting Plastic to Oil Native Village of Gakona, Demonstration Project By Erin Smith

Introduction Imagine if you were able to convert unwanted plastic into usable oil! It has been made possible by new age Japanese technology, and the Native Village of Gakona had the opportunity to explore this concept through the “Community Environmental Demonstration Project Grant” from Zender Environmental.

History  Discovering the Plastic-to-Oil machine  The Japanese inventor Akinori Ito  World Wide Idea turned reality  The Alaska Movement: Chena & Gakona

A Precious Fossil Fuel US Energy Consumption in 2012 Top 10 Petroleum Consumers

The Project  The CEDP grant goals  The 9 Different Village Demonstrations  Feedback

Presenting to Lisa Murkowski Representatives Concept was presented to Alaska’s State Senator in Summer 2012

Native Village of Chickaloon Demonstration Tribal & community members at the Elder’s Luncheon

Kenny Lake Fair Demonstration Interested crowd at the Fall Fair in Kenny Lake

Native Village of Kluti-Kaah Demonstration Crowd participating in Oil machine demo just before lunch

Native Village of Gulkana Demonstration One of the very first demonstrations in June 2012

2012 Youth Environmental Summit Several demonstrations were held at the YES event, which theme was based on Alternative Energy and Going Green.

Native Village of Gakona Involvment The community took active roles in processing oil within our village. It sparked a lot of interest of all generations!

The Process: Plastic Basics  Allowable plastics are #2, 4, 5, 6

The Process: Collection Recycling Center for All materials in Gakona Village

The Process: Visual Aid Gas Tube The lid of the Liquefying Pot Anti- Countercurrent Valve A Water Tank Oil Release Valve Operating Screen

The Process: Video

The Process: The Break Down  On average, the refined oil is made up of:  15-20% Gasoline  20-30% Kerosene  20-30% Diesel oil  The remainder is a “heavy oil”

The Process: Specifications Be-H Machine (Desktop) Processing Ability~ lbs. Percentage of making oilMore than 80% Size of the machine22 (W) x 12.6 (D) x 21.3 (H) WeightApprox. 115 lbs. Power Supply120V/14A Running Cost1KW/hour, 2.5 hr to produce 1 quart of oil

The Results: Plastic Conversion Amount of Plastic (lbs.) into Oil (pints)

The Results: Energy Costs  The machine on average runs 1KW/hour  $.27/Kw through Copper Valley Electric Association  Depending on how much plastic is loaded, machine runs hours, averaging $1.08 per session  NVG totaled 52.7 lbs=28.3 quarts (7.07 gallons)= running cost $24.49

The Future: Moving Forward  Native Village of Gakona is in the planning phase of research for the large scale machine: NVG lb per day (24-hr) Continuous Approx: 55 gal. / day Cost: $189,333.33
