Aduro Clean Tech announces completion of pilot-scale steam-cracking

Aduro Clean Tech (ADUR)nologies announces the successful completion of pilot-scale steam-cracking trials by a global organization that designs, licenses, and services large-scale petrochemical steam-cracking operations and supports global deployment of these technologies among leading petrochemical producers. Steam crackers provide building blocks for almost all plastics, starting from oil- and gas-derived feedstock. Similarly, circular feedstocks from waste plastics will have to follow the same route to be processed into circular plastics. Steam crackers are very large-scale plants and are highly sensitive to feedstock quality, requiring high-purity inputs at scale. As a result, most circular oils produced by chemical recycling require further upgrading or pre-treatment to meet those tight input specifications.
