Pyrolysis of waste tires into Energy

Our plant is fully automated and continuously fed waste tires pyrolysis system, which conforms to all relevant EU and CE Standards for industrial equipment, as well as the EU Environmental Standards and Regulations.

    The thick bead tire wires are extracted and whole tires are cut into pieces, which are then shredded to 5x5cm in size, and continuously fed into the pyrolysis system. The plant's processing capacity is 12 tons of shredded tires per 24 hours and the guaranteed period of continuous operation is 60 days, after which there is a week of regular maintenance according to the Plant Maintenance Schedule. This maintenance time-frame includes the shut-down and start-up time of the pyrolysis process, and in most cases can be shortened to 5 days, after sufficient plant operations experience has been accumulated by all the staff. During each of the 3 work shifts, the pyrolysis process is controlled by one operator and one assistant in charge of the ancillary systems, while additional personnel is required for the maintenance and operation of the related systems.

    The whole waste tire pyrolysis plant has a scalable and modular structure. The space requirement for the pyrolysis and the gases recovery systems is about 500 sq.m.. This does not include the space needed for the storage and shredding of the waste tires, as well as storing of end products and additional space for carbon black milling and packaging and other ancillary systems. The system can be custom designed to specific space requirements.

    The gases produced from the system are used to heat the process, while the non-condensing gases are burned in a flare. Water used for cooling of the related systems is not in direct contact with the oil and is in a closed circuit.

    The exhaust of the system meets and exceeds the EU standard for industrial boilers. The plant is monitored by the National Environmental Bureau, through quarterly exhaust measurements.
