Pyrolysis of end of life tires (ELT)
Creating valuable products
In many places, used tires are seen as a problematic waste material difficult to get rid of. Biogreen® technology meets the demand for local processing of rubber from used tires and creating valuable products from the pyrolysis conversion.
Once the tires have been shredded and separated from metals and fibers, the crumbed rubber can be processed in the Biogreen® pyrolysis process to generate high-energy syngas, oil, and rCB.
Recycled Carbon Black (rCB)
Recycled Carbon Black is a material obtained from the solid product of the tire pyrolysis process. Treatment allows it to develop many useful properties that make rCB added value product that can be considered a filler for the rubber industry, paints and coatings, ink production, and many other industrial applications.
Recycled Carbon Black produced in tire pyrolysis becomes an increasingly popular, environmentally friendly alternative to carbon black obtained from oil-based processes.
Tire Pyrolysis Oil (TPO)
Tire Pyrolysis Oil is one of the products from tire pyrolysis. This highly energetic liquid is an attractive alternative to standard fossil fuel.
Pyrolysis gas
Tire pyrolysis gas is a energetic gas rich in H2, CH4, CnHm. It is a valuable energy source to provide heat to the facility or local district.
Reference
ETIA is working since a long time with Murfitts Industries to prove and develop ELT pyrolysis.
A 80kg/h pilot has been installed and operated for more than 3 years. The promising results, especially about rCB quality, have paved the way for further collaboration and developpement of industrial solution.
