WASTE TYRE
PYROLYSIS SOLUTION PROCESSING

‘AN ECO-RENEWABLE
SOLUTION’
 WHY RECYCLE?
‹ Only 50% of waste tyre are being recycled worldwide
‹ Large quantities of scrap tyres are causing serious
environmental issues as regards to their disposal
‹ Waste tyres are not bio-degradable and can last 100
years or more if no proper handling is carried out.
‹ Illegal dumping or open burning can be seen
everywhere. Incorrect
method of disposal of
scrap tyres can cause
hazard to our environment
 Environmental Hazards
‹ As seen in Melbourne Australia in early 2006, tyre pile
fires have been an even greater environmental
problem. Tyre fires can burn for months, sending
up an acid black plume that
can be seen miles away.
That plume contains toxic
chemicals and air pollutants
just as toxic chemicals are
released into surrounding
water supplies by oily runoff
from tyre fires.
Furthermore the manufacture
of carbon black from oil
refineries further exacerbates the problem with
Greenhouse gas emissions.
 What is the environ-friendly
lucrative economic solution?
‹ Making money from recycling tyres
‹ Pyrolysis is the process in which organic
substances are reduced by subjecting a
material to heat in a reduced oxygen
environment
‹ Regarding scrap tyres, the process of
pyrolysis reduces tyres into three by-
products namely: carbon black, a liquid (fuel
oil), steel wires and some hydrocarbon
gases. Currently, the hydrocarbon fuel oils,
carbon black and steel can be sold and the
hydrocarbon gases released through
pyrolysis can either be sold or used as fuel
at the pyrolysis plant.
Is there a commercial manufactured
machine available?

‹ Our company is the world leader in this

pyrolysis technology
‹ Our company has manufactured over 20
units and recently the commission of three
automatic machines
‹ Our company has established export
markets in SE Asia, Australia, Taiwan, Hong
Kong, United Arab of Emirates, West
Malaysia and Canada.
‹ Current negotiations in New Zealand, Fiji,
Greece, New Caledonia, East Malaysia,
Solomon Islands and Indonesia.
 Why is our technology unique?
Traditional Methodology
‹ Historically, tyre pyrolysis was generally accomplished
using batch methods. A batch method involves taking small
quantities of tyre, lysis in a closed vessel, turning off the
heat and then removing the by-products. This method is
proven inefficient and not cost effective.
The main disadvantages of the batch method’s are:
‹ The length of the process. One process cycle may take 12
hours per batch.
‹ High labour costs incurred in emptying and recharging the
vessel
‹ Large heat loses. This must take place with the cooling of
the vessel after each batch.
‹ The production of an unusable residue. This is a mixture of
non-recoverable product’s which poses a further disposal
problem.
‹ The waste of non-condensable gases. In may processes
studied, the combustible gases were simply flared off,
wasting a source of energy.
‹ Any recoverable steel has been subjected to high
temperature during the process. It is suspected that this
has an adverse effect on its recyclable quality.
 Our Pyrolysis System
‹ In each pyrolysis reactor, catalyst is mixed
with scrap tyres, and the temperature is
controlled to approximately 450 degrees
Celsius at normal atmospheric pressure to
allow pyrolysis to take place. Our system is
designed in such a way that hot gases
(heat) will continuously re-circulates from
process furnace to pyrolysis reactor 1
through reactor 12. A layer of thermal
insulator is covered throughout the entire
system to prevent heat energy losses. It
enables heat to be conducted in a more
effective way and this is indeed a
technological breakthrough in the world of
scrap tyre pyrolysis.
 Advantages of our system
1. The furnace is heated evenly which ensure the safety and the life
span of the system
2. Temperature profile can be adjusted easily and readily
3. Energy saving
4. High conversion (high process yield approximately 98% of process
yield)
5. High production throughput. An average process time per reactor
is about 5 hours
6. High quality standard
7. Slag free, total solution in recycling and no pollution
8. Low capital and operational costs
9. Simple and stable operating system. Only periodic checks are
required which allows time for other tasks as it functions safely.
10. Worry free investment with a payback period of investment in
about 18 months
11. Low maintenance as there is no direct flame used within the
reactor chamber
12. The whole system can be delivered and assembled in less than 2
months and each system is provided with a warranty
13. It is a continuous process
14. It provides its own heat energy to power the process
15. Tyres are completely recycled
16. It is a simple process requiring low manning levels
