Tire pyrolysis is a process that thermally decomposes waste tires in the absence of oxygen.
It produces useful products such as pyrolysis oil, carbon black, steel wire, and combustible gas.
5 Key Benefits of Tire Pyrolysis
1. Efficient Waste Management
Tire pyrolysis effectively addresses the environmental issue of waste tire disposal.
Scrap tires are a significant waste problem globally.
Traditional disposal methods like landfilling or incineration can lead to environmental pollution.
Pyrolysis offers a sustainable solution by recycling 100% of the tire.
This ensures that all valuable raw materials are extracted and repurposed.
2. Energy Recovery
The process of tire pyrolysis converts waste tires into energy sources.
Waste tires have a high calorific value comparable to coal and crude oil.
The pyrolysis oil produced has low viscosity and high calorific value, making it suitable as a fuel.
Additionally, the combustible gas generated during the process can be used for generating electricity, heat, steam, or hydrogen.
This contributes to energy sustainability.
3. Production of Valuable By-products
Tire pyrolysis yields several marketable by-products:
- Pyrolysis Oil: Can be used directly as fuel or further refined for higher value.
- Carbon Black: High-quality carbon black is produced in significant quantities, exceeding the income from pyrolysis oil. It is used in various applications including tires, rubber products, inks, and asphalt modifiers. The global demand for carbon black is substantial, with a market price significantly higher than that of rubber granules.
- Steel Wire: Recovered steel wire can be used to manufacture metal abrasives, steel wire cut shots, and other basic steel materials.
- Combustible Gas: Rich in methane, this gas can be utilized for energy production.
4. Technological Advantages
Modern tire pyrolysis equipment incorporates advanced technologies that enhance efficiency and safety:
- Zero Stripping Technology: Eliminates the need for secondary separation of steel wire and rubber, reducing energy consumption and improving economic benefits.
- Micro-Negative Pressure Process Technology: Ensures that gas does not overflow during production, eliminating safety hazards and improving the efficiency of thermal cracking.
5. Economic and Environmental Benefits
Tire pyrolysis not only solves the problem of waste tire disposal but also contributes to energy recovery and the production of valuable by-products.
This makes it an economically and environmentally beneficial process.
