The practical problem
Feedstock and equipment that don’t match
Waste plastic and scrap tires vary by source. Equipment chosen without testing your actual feedstock can fall short on yield and product quality.
For waste-to-energy project developers
Build your thermolysis project on proven results, not vendor promises.
Crown Mark Energy has operated thermolysis equipment at demonstration and commercial scale, and had its synthetic crude oil, synthetic gas and carbon black tested by industry experts. We put that evidence behind your project, from scoping and feedstock testing to equipment, build-out and long-term support.
The challenge
Thermolysis looks simple on a spec sheet. The risk is in what the spec sheet leaves out.
Developers describe the same three concerns.
What it costs you
Your capital and credibility on the line
Committing to an unproven system puts your investors, your schedule and your reputation behind a vendor’s claims.
What we believe
A project deserves operating evidence
A project this size should rest on measured results from real equipment, run on real feedstock, at more than one scale.
Route based on vendor claims
- Spec sheet
- Equipment order
- Plant build
- First real results
Yield and quality are only known after the capital is spent.
Route based on evidence
- Feedstock test
- Demonstration run
- Commercial-scale test
- Plant build, informed by data
Illustrative sequence
Your guide
We’ve run the equipment ourselves, so we know where projects succeed and where they stall.
We know what it’s like to evaluate a technology you haven’t operated. Before advising anyone, we procured thermolysis equipment, ran it on waste plastic and scrap tires, and measured what came out.
We then ran a commercial-scale equipment test to validate the demonstration results and confirm that yield and quality benchmarks hold, or improve, in a scaled-up facility.
Operated at demonstration scale
Procured, configured and ran thermolysis equipment on waste plastic and scrap tires.
Products tested by experts
Low carbon synthetic crude oil, synthetic gas and carbon black tested by industry experts.
Commercial-scale test
Validated the demonstration results and confirmed the yield and quality benchmarks.
Support that continues
Full technical support and maintenance on every project we deliver.
Our plan
Three steps from a first conversation to a plant you can stand behind.
Each step produces evidence you can show your partners, your investors and your feedstock suppliers.
Step 1Scope and test
Project scoping and due diligence
Define the opportunity: feedstock sources, volumes, logistics and project scope, with a structured review before you commit capital.
Feedstock testing
Test your actual waste plastic and scrap tires to understand how they behave in thermolysis.
You get: a scoped project and feedstock test results.
Step 2Procure and prove
Equipment procurement and configuration
Select and configure thermolysis equipment systems matched to your feedstock and workflow.
Demonstration-scale operation
Run the equipment, measure yield and product quality, and design the workflow processes around the results.
You get: operating data from real equipment.
Step 3Build and support
Project development and management
Coordinate development through to commissioning of a commercial facility.
Technical support and maintenance
Full technical support and maintenance for every Crown Mark project.
You get: a commissioned facility with a technical team behind it.
What comes out
One process. Three low carbon products.
Heat without combustion breaks waste plastic and scrap tires down into products that each have their own market. Industry experts have tested all three.
Liquid
Low carbon synthetic crude oil
The main liquid product, intended for refiners and industrial fuel users.

What’s at stake, and what’s possible
Without proof
- Yield or product quality falls short once the plant is built
- Feedstock is committed before it has been tested
- Investors and partners ask for data you don’t have
With Crown Mark
- Operating data from demonstration and commercial-scale runs
- Feedstock tested and matched to equipment before you commit
- Products with expert test results, ready for buyers
- A technical team that stays on after commissioning
