EASIER
All BlueAlp™ plants are connected to our Condition & Performance Monitoring System in The Netherlands from where we monitor all plants worldwide.
After a BlueAlp™ plant is started-up, BlueAlp provides continued support to the plant operators.
Besides the 24/7 service hotline, through which plant operators have access to our remote assistance and call out service, we offer periodic vists and remote plant benchmarking.
For each plant a spare parts programme will be set up in order to maximize plant performance and uptime.

SMARTER
For each ton of plastic which is processed by the BlueAlp™ Technology, 1200 kg of CO2 emissions are avoided.
We are applying our BlueAlp™ Technology in new and innovative ways to help our clients realize the transition towards a sustainable future where they can use recycled waste as a feedstock or fuel.
The production of 1 liter of oil by the BlueAlp™ Technology process has 68% less environmental impact when compared with the production of 1 liter regular fossil fuel.
These conclusions are the results of a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) performed on the BlueAlp Technology (including the feedstock pre-treatment system). The LCA was performed by SGS Intron and subsequently reviewed and approved by IVAM UvA.
BETTER
We have developed 3 feedstock composition envelopes for which we have determined standard pre-treatment lines.
Feedstock is one of the most important aspects of a BlueAlp™ plant. The quality of the feedstock has a direct effect on the quality of the produced oil and the performance of the plant. Therefore, a standard BlueAlp™ plant is equipped with a feedstock pre-treatment section where the feedstock is:
- shredded
- analysed
- contaminants removed
- dried
- buffered
It is important to emphasize that feedstock for a BlueAlp™ plant is not to be taken from streams that otherwise would have been recycled.

- Introduction
-
Plastic waste is a rapidly increasing problem in our modern world. Although many techniques exist to serve the re-use and re-cycling of plastic waste, still a large amount of plastics end up in incineration plants or in dump sites (or worse: end up at the side of the road).
These streams of “end-of-life” plastic contain large amounts of plastics that can be converted into valuable oil. In order to convert these plastics safely and reliably into high quality oil, the BlueAlp™ Technology plastic-to-oil process is developed.
The BlueAlp™ Technology is owned by BlueAlp Innovations BV and the sales and realisation of the BlueAlp™ plastic-to-oil plants is done by BlueAlp BV. BlueAlp Innovations BV and BlueAlp BV are both located in The Netherlands and both belong to the de Mourik group . Major part of engineering and construction is done by Petrogas (also part of the Mourik group), which has over 65 years experience in the (petro)chemical and oil&gas industry.
- BlueAlp™ Technology
-
The BlueAlp™ technology comprises the following steps:
1. Feedstock pre-treatment (shredding, cleaning, drying);
2. Melting and cracking of the plastics;
3. Condensation of the gases from the cracking process and distillation of the condensed liquids;
4. Treatment, storage and unloading of the product oil.The product oil is comparable to heating oil (separate specification available).
Additionally, the system includes various auxiliary systems such as instrument air, nitrogen generation, cooling water, thermal oil, gas washing, waste water treatment and a complete control system.
The system will be erected, tested and commissioned by BlueAlp BV. Also after plant start-up BlueAlp will remain involved in technical assistance, service hot-line, spare parts delivery and plant monitoring / benchmarking.
The use of the technology in the plant is subject to a License to Use (between Client and BlueAlp Innovations BV).
- Focus points for a BlueAlp™ plant
-
Next to financing, the main focus points for a typical BlueAlp™ plant are:
- Feedstock, 15.000 – 20.000 tons per year, being
mainly polyolefins (specification available) - Technology (BlueAlp™ Technology)
- Location (minimum 100 x 200 meters)
- Feedstock, 15.000 – 20.000 tons per year, being
