Tyre pyrolysis plant can convert waste tires into pyrolysis oil, steel wire, carbon black and syngas. The pyrolysis process does not use oxygen, which makes exhaust emission control simpler and more economical.

Waste Tire/Tyre Pyrolysis Project

Waste tires are a great potential source of fuel. Pyrolysis plants are able to convert waste into energy. Tyre pyrolysis plant can decompose the rubber component in waste tires into pyrolysis oil, carbon black and syngas.

Among them, pyrolysis oil can be used as fuel oil. Carbon black is widely used in the tire, rubber and plastic industries. And steel wire can be used in the construction and manufacturing industries. Due to the strong market demand for these products, the waste tire oil refining project has significant profit potential.

Main Products of Waste Tire Pyrolysis

High-quality fuel oil (40%-45%). Heavy pyrolysis oil is the main product obtained from tire pyrolysis refining, and its calorific value is higher than gasoline and diesel. In the energy field, heavy oil can be used for power generation, especially in heavy oil generator sets. This fuel oil has a high calorific value and low sulfur content, and can be used as fuel or further refined into non-standard diesel.

Carbon black (30%-35%). Carbon black is the second largest product of waste tire pyrolysis refining, second only to fuel oil. The carbon black obtained from waste tire pyrolysis is crude carbon black, with a calorific value equivalent to that of coal. Compared with commercial carbon black, it has a larger ash content and lower commercial value, but its value doubles after deep processing. Carbon black is an important industrial material, widely used in tires, rubber products, inks and pigments. 

Steel wire (15%). Waste tires contain a large amount of steel wire, which can be recycled through pyrolysis to reduce resource waste.

Syngas (10%). These combustible gases mainly include methane, ethylene and propylene, which can be used for internal heating recycling.
