Tyre pyrolysis plant converts scrap tires into valuable products: pyrolysis oil, carbon black, and steel wire. It offers both an effective waste solution and profitable returns. As the tire waste problem worsens, more customers are seeking sustainable and profitable solutions. Let Beston Group guide you in exploring the advantages of tire pyrolysis.
Why Focus on the Waste Tyre Disposal Issue?
Each year, approximately 1 billion scrap tires, weighing around 17 million tonnes, are generated worldwide. However, only 40% of these tires are recycled. And given the following factors, more and more investors are seeking viable tire waste recycling solutions.
Non-biodegradable and Environmental pollution
Waste tires are difficult to decompose, potentially taking decades or centuries. Their persistence can lead to soil and water pollution and release terrible smells, negatively impacting ecosystems.
Bulk and disposal challenges
Waste tires are bulky and take up a lot of space, making disposal a significant challenge. Often, they are simply stacked in open areas, resulting in land use problems and unsightly litter.
Resource value
Waste tires are primarily made from synthetic rubber and carbon black. Therefore, despite being difficult to degrade, they can be processed and repurposed into other products, such as rubber powder, fuel, or construction materials.
Fire hazard
Tyre flammability poses a safety hazard. Once ignited, they are difficult to extinguish, producing large amounts of harmful smoke. This post safety risks to nearby regions.
Tire Pyrolysis Superiority: Compares to Other Treatment Methods
| Technology | Usage & Features | Secondary Pollutants | Facility Investment | Energy Consumption | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Landfill | Traditional method, but increasingly prohibited | Soil and water pollution | Low | Low | Gradually being restricted globally |
| Retreading | Suitable for slightly worn tires that have not reached the end of their life | / | Low | Low | Limited processing capacity |
| Incineration | Suitable for tires that cannot be reused | Air pollution | High | High | High environmental control costs |
| Shredding | Suitable for non-retreadable tires, can be processed into rubber granules, etc. | / | High | High | Limited market demand for recycled products; difficult to handle large volumes |
| Tire-Derived Fuel | Uses tires’ high calorific value in power plants, industrial boilers, cement kilns | Secondary solid (ash) and air (SO2, NOx, dioxins) pollutants | Very High | High | High pollution control costs |
| Pyrolysis | Suitable for all types of tires, produces fuel oil, carbon black, and other byproducts | High-end dedusting treatment avoid pollution | Moderate | Low | / |
Tire Pyrolysis Plant: 100% Recycling Solution
Every year, 1.5 billion non-biodegradable waste tires threaten the ecological environment. Tyre pyrolysis machine provides a sustainable solution for resource utilization and waste reduction. By subjecting waste tires to high temperatures in an oxygen-free environment, we can transform them into several valuable products:
- used as industrial fuel materials.
- refined into naphtha.
- distilled off heavy oil for electricity generation.
- made into construction carbon brick.
- reprocessed into high-quality variants like N220 or N330, suitable for rubber, plastic, ink, and coatings manufacturing.
Steel wire can be sold to steel mills or recycling companies, where to be reused in tire production or reprocessed into other metal products.
The combustible gas generated during the pyrolysis process mainly fuels the pyrolysis reactor itself, thus no need for additional energy.
Pyrolysis Raw Material Options and Output Distribution Analysis
Various scrap tires and industrial rubber waste are ideal candidates for pyrolysis recycling. Generally, the purer the rubber, the higher the oil yield. At our specialized laboratory, we can conduct tests to assess whether your rubber raw materials suit pyrolysis. Welcome contact us to get your rubber materials tested.
