How is plastic granules made
How plastic is made animation
welcome to Gnp animations in this video we are going to learn how plastic is
made from crude oil it involves many steps but in this video we are going to
see five steps step 1 extraction of crude oil step 2
refining of crude oil step 3 production of Ethene step 4
polymerization of ethene to get polythene step 5
polythene converts into plastic pellets to make wide range of plastic
products in the process of crude oil extraction the pump which mainly contain
power shaft cranks working beam horse head polished rod extracts oil
from the earth
inside the earth the pump has casing valves etc this complete extraction
process has maximum safety precautions because crude oil contains many
flammable chemicals the extracted crude oil is sent to the factory and
transported in the form of cans and the next step is refining the crude oil the
crude oil is sent through the preheater that boils the crude oil and sent to
furnace
by the refinery process we get reside lubricant oil diesel kerosene petrol
naphtha LPG etc and naphtha is our main product in plastic production they are
collected in different sections Ethene is the most important substance in making
of plastic and Ethene is made from naphtha to make Ethene naphtha is sent to
naphtha cracking center there naphtha is heated up to 800 degree centigrade by
using steam crackers in quenching process naphtha is break down into
hydrocarbons then it is compressed and refined we get Ethene propylene butane
petroleum ether etc by this process we made our important product in plastic
production that is ethene
and the next step Ethene is converted into polythene by the process of
polymerization first the Ethene is compressed and coolled then it is now dense
almost like liquid it is sent to the reaction chamber in the reaction chamber
initiators are added initiators means a substance which start chain reaction
then polymerization takes place by this process the Ethene converted into
polythene the polythene sent to a chamber that adds antioxidants and
stabilizers then the polythene is get into the extruder which converts
polythene in to polythene strings the polythene strings are passed through the
grinder for palletiser which converts polythene strings to polythene pellets
means plastic pellets these plastic pellets are sent to other factories
they melt the pellets and molded into a wide range of plastic products and this is
the story of how plastic is made from crude oil
