The present paper shows that oil from waste plastics can be used as fuel for diesel electric generator. The experimental results indicated that 80wt% of waste plastic could be recovered as oil by using a laboratory scale facility with plastic feed rate of 30kg/h. When reflex converter is operated under the optimum condition, an oil substance which has both high ignitability and fluidity is recovered. Under the combustion performance test with the recovered oil, a 70kilowatt diesel engine could be operated stably. The properties of exhaust gas cleared all regulatory standards, although the level of nitrogen oxides (NOx) was higher than that of kerosene. The concentration of NOx could be reduced by optimization of fuel injection timing.
