Tire Pyrolysis

Tire Pyrolysis is an innovative technology used to recycle millions of used tires into valuable by-products, including fuel oil, carbon black, steel, and hydrocarbon gases.  These by-products can be sold at a substantial profit, and the fuel oil and hydrocarbon gases can be used to fuel the pyrolysis process.

Used tires are shredded and 90%+ of the steel is removed before processing begins in the Pyrolysis Reactor.  The shredded tire material is moved by conveyor into a feeder hopper where a patent pending catalyst is added to expedite the decomposition of the tire shreds into fuel oil, carbon black, and any remaining steel.

Fuel oil is generated in a vaporous state which flows through oil separators and water-cooled condensers where it is transformed into a liquid state, for filtering and storage in bulk tanks.Carbon black and any remaining steel are also part of the process yield.  A magnetic separator removes the steel from the carbon black, which is transported to the granulating unit.

A single recycled tire will produce:

• 60,000 BTU's of Gas
• 1 Gallon of Fuel Oil
• 7 pounds of Carbon Black

When equipped with two Pyrolysis Reactors, a Tire Pyrolysis System is capable of converting 30 tons of used tires per day into:

• 14 tons of fuel oil
• 10 tons of carbon black
• 4.5 tons of steel wire

Tire Pyrolysis technology unlocks the significant value of millions of used tires which require a massive amount of storage space, removing an environmental eye sore, and enabling the land to be used for higher value purposes.
