Polyethylene

Polyethylene is a kind of plastic that is widely used in assembling recipes.

How to make Polyethylene

Firstly, Ethanol is a key component in making polyethylene and there are two ways to make it. The first way of making ethanol:

Step 1a: Input biochaff and water inside of a Pyrolyse Oven on Circuit 1 to obtain biomass. (Minimum Energy Tier required : LV)

Step 1.5: You can also use the LV Brewery to make Biomass from plants and water.

Step 2a : Distill biomass inside a MV Distillery on Circuit 1 to obtain ethanol. (Minimum Energy Tier required : MV)

The second way of making ethanol:

Step 1b: Input biochaff and water inside of a Pyrolyse Oven on Circuit 2 to obtain fermented biomass. (Minimum Energy Tier required : LV)

Step 2b : Distill fermented biomass inside a MV Distillery on Circuit 3 to obtain ethanol. (Minimum Energy Tier required : MV)

Note that ethanol is also obtainable through Create Basins.

After obtaining ethanol, the way of making polyethylene is basically the same.

Step 3 : Chemically react Ethanol and Sulfuric Acid inside a MV Chemical Reactor to make Ethylene. (Minimum Energy Tier required : MV)

After Step 3, based on your material situation, you can choose either using Oxygen or Air to make Polyethylene.

Step 4 : Chemically react Ethylene and Oxygen/Air inside a LV Chemical Reactor to make Polyethylene. (Minimum Energy Tier required : LV)

Uses of Polyethylene

Polyethylene is used in various assembling recipes such as SMD components.
