Tyre to oil plant, as a vital force in the modern circular economy, is redefining the value of waste tires. Using advanced high-temperature, oxygen-free pyrolysis technology, waste tires are converted into high-value products: pyrolysis oil, carbon black, steel wire, and combustible gas. This process maximizes resource utilization and supports both economic growth and environmental protection. It drives waste management toward a greener and more sustainable future.

Classification and Applications of Oil from Waste Tires
Tire Pyrolysis Oil
Characteristics: High calorific value; mainly light and middle hydrocarbons.
Applications:
- Industrial heating fuel
- Can be further refined into diesel or gasoline
Naphtha
Characteristics: Low-boiling, light hydrocarbons separated from tire pyrolysis oil.
Applications:
- Basic chemicals production (e.g., ethylene)
- Used in paints, coatings, and industrial solvents
- Blending component for gasoline
- Kerosene, jet, and other fuels production
- Laboratory solvent
Non-Standard Diesel
Characteristics: Middle-distillate hydrocarbons heavier than naphtha, derived from pyrolysis oil.

How to Convert Waste Tyre into Oil? – Working Principle
01 Pre-treatment
Pre-treatment involves tire shredding and wire removal.
- For a batch tyre to oil plant, wire removal is not required, but the tire size must meet the feed requirements. Steel wires are collected after pyrolysis.
- For a continuous tire to oil plant, shredding and wire removal are required. Steel wires are collected at this stage.
02 Feeding
03 Pyrolysis
04 Oil Gas Condensation
- High-temperature oil gas passes through the condensation system and is cooled into liquid pyrolysis oil.
- Non-condensable gases are purified and recycled to provide heat for the pyrolysis process.
05 Carbon Black Discharge
06 Safety & Environmental Emission Control
How Beston Tyre to Oil Plant Achieves Optimal Oil Production?
Rotary Reactor Structure
Low-speed rotary reactor (0–0.34 rpm) allows continuous tumbling of the material during pyrolysis, which:
- Enhances heat transfer between the material and reactor walls
- Effectively reduces adhesion and coking
- Increases pyrolysis efficiency and oil yield
High-Efficiency Condensation Technology
The vertical tubular condenser provides a large heat-exchange area and high condensation efficiency, enabling the system to:
- Cool pyrolysis vapors rapidly
- Prevent secondary polymerization of olefin compounds
- Stabilize and increase oil recovery
Development of Continuous Pyrolysis Technology
Compared with batch tire to oil plant, continuous pyrolysis plant enables more stable oil production in large-scale operations while improving equipment utilization and overall production efficiency.
PLC & DCS Intelligent Control
The PLC or DCS system continuously monitors key process parameters, records operational data, and supports remote monitoring. This helps to stabilize pyrolysis conditions and enhance operational reliability.
Tire Pretreatment Solution Option
Customize a complete pre-processing line according to customer requirements, including shredding, cutting, and wire-removal stages, to process tires to the optimal particle size, which:
- Enhances uniform heating of the material
- Improves pyrolysis efficiency and oil yield
Flexible Oil Distillation Solutions
Two distillation options are available to suit different market needs.
- Option 1 – Integrated BLJ-20 pyrolysis + distillation solution: directly produce higher-value naphtha or non-standard diesel.
- Option 2 – Independent Distillation Line: separates different fractions, suitable for clients with strict or diverse oil product specifications.
