How does tire pyrolysis work? 4 Key Steps Explained

Tire pyrolysis is a process used to recycle waste tires by heating them in an oxygen-free environment. This process breaks down the rubber polymers into smaller molecules, which are then converted into various useful products such as fuel oil, uncondensable gas, carbon black, and steel wire. The process is clean and efficient, with minimal emissions or waste.

4 Key Steps Explained

How does tire pyrolysis work? 4 Key Steps Explained

1. Feeding and Heating

Waste tires, either whole or shredded, are loaded into a sealed reactor.

The reactor is heated, and as the temperature rises, the rubber in the tires softens and begins to break down.

2. Pyrolysis

At temperatures between 260°C and 280°C, the rubber polymers disintegrate into smaller molecules.

These molecules vaporize and exit the reactor as gases.

3. Condensation and Collection

The gases are cooled and condensed into an oily liquid known as pyrolysis oil.

Some gases, which are too small to condense, remain as uncondensable gas and can be used as fuel.

The solid residue, which includes carbon black and steel wire, is also collected.

4. Product Separation and Treatment

The products are further processed and refined according to the needs of the customer.

The system is modular, allowing for scalability and customization of the treatment process.
