End-of-life tyre pyrolysis is a recycling process that involves the chemical and physical reactions of organic substances, specifically waste tires, when they are exposed to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen.
This process is carried out in a specially designed tire pyrolysis plant.
During pyrolysis, the waste tires are heated in a reactor with an oxygen-free atmosphere and a heat source.
The rubber in the tires softens and the polymers disintegrate into smaller molecules, which eventually vaporize and exit the reactor.
These vapors can be burned directly to produce power or condensed into a liquid fuel oil known as pyrolysis oil or bio oil.
The pyrolysis plant is capable of converting various types of waste materials such as plastic, tires, oil sludge, and coal tar oil into fuel oil, carbon black, and synthesis gas.
The fuel oil can be further refined into diesel, while the carbon black can be used as a raw material in various industries.
The pyrolysis plant is considered a renewable and environmentally friendly equipment as it effectively deals with waste and converts it into energy.
The principle of the pyrolysis plant involves heating the raw material waste in the reactor, which generates oil gas.
The oil gas then goes into a condenser where it is condensed into liquid fuel oil.
Any uncondensed gas is recycled back to the burner to provide heat for the reactor, making the process energy-efficient.
The tire pyrolysis system is characterized by its profitability and modularity.
It does not require any previous preparations such as shredding or fractionating of tires.
Each unit of the system can handle 1000kg of tires in a 4-6 hour process, resulting in a daily output of 4 tons.
The system can be expanded indefinitely, and customers have the flexibility to choose the degree of treatment for the recovered products.
Pyrolysis of scrap tires offers an environmentally and economically attractive method for transforming waste tires into useful products, heat, and electrical energy.
The calorific value of scrap tires is high, comparable to coal and crude oil, making them an excellent fuel source.
The pyrolysis process can effectively convert the scrap tires into valuable resources while reducing the environmental impact of tire disposal.
