Presentation
CCT international (PRYME) is part of the PRYME N.V. Pryme N.V. is an innovative cleantech company focused on converting plastic waste into valuable products through chemical recycling on an industrial scale. Its efficient and scalable technology is based on a proven pyrolysis process that has been further developed and enhanced with proprietary characteristics.
The company has initialized production at its first plant in the port of Rotterdam, with an expected nameplate intake capacity of about 26,000 tons of plastic waste annually. Pryme is also operating a pilot plant to conduct R&D work located at UGENT LCT laboratories.
Main tasks in ELECTRO
Most of the efforts operated by PRYME are oriented towards the WP1 “Electrified conversion of plastic waste to high-purity pyrolysis oils” which they are leading. Their key role is the optimization of the pyrolysis reactor and its demonstration to TRL 7.
PRYME is also deeply involved in the management of the eLECTRO project.
Key people on the project
Dominique Gemoets is the Technology & Engineering director for PRYME. He is a master in chemical engineering – process technology from KU Leuven – De Nayer Campus.
In his career he has worked 20+ years in multiple engineering & technology roles within BP and INEOS focusing on designing, operating and optimizing world-class units all over Europe/US/Asia for the production of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) – main feedstock for PET production. He was also heavily involved as process lead in the design of the BP (later INEOS) Infinia technology to chemically recycle PET back to PTA.
Dominique has joined PRYME early 2023 to lead the further Technology development and Engineering of future commercial plants. He will be heavily involved in the project management of the Electro project (WP6) besides the main scope for PRYME in WP1.
