Waste Tyre To Treasure: Producing Fuel Out Of Waste Tyres

Qubuso In with its unique renewable technology has come up with a concept of setting a new standard in renewable energy that includes using waste tyres as a raw material for producing green fuel oil, carbon black, steel and gas. To implement this idea we will set up a waste tyre recycling plant.

We call our project the "Waste Tyre to Treasure" project. With regard to the global warming and the extensive rubber utilization, it has now become necessary to recycle the waste and convert it in fuel oil in such a way that it is environmentally friendly. We offer a unique technology that can change the energy market scenario in a big way.

Scrap tyre problems:

Billions of waste tyres are available in all over the world. We can't burn or landfill them due to pollution problems. There is no use of these waste tyres. Therfore, we at Nath Motors have found a solution for the problem with the waste tyres. We separate all content of the waste tyres, creating a completely renewable process.

Technical process flow:

• This is a batch process system.
• The waste tyre is fed into the reactor vessel and heated under controlled conditions of temperature and pressure.
• The process will bring about molecular restructuring of the rubber under the pyrolysis process as a result; furnace oil in gaseous form is produced along with other gases.
• These vaporized gases are passed through heat exchanges, where in the furnace oil gas is condensed into liquid form.
• During the process, carbon black is generated.
• The heat exchanger uses coolant water, as the condensing medium and this water is re-circulated.
• These systems can be operated 24/7

Find attached a flow chart of the process and a picture of the plant.

Features:

• 100% waste tyre recycling is achieved (no churn left after the process).
• No chemical ingredients are used in the process (the process is completely environmentally friendly).
• During and after the process no soil, water or air pollution is observed.
• The process creates economically valuable products out of waste (all of the products are industrial raw materials that have a market value).
• The most cost-effective waste tyre recycling technology in the world.
• Raw material (waste tyre) is cheap and easy to provide. These are the by-products of tyre production.
• Each recycled ton of tyre preserves 10 tons of CO2 that is a major greenhouse gas.
• The process can be applied to all rubber based materials.
• The system creates an alternative source of energy to replace petroleum products and natural gas.
• The system gives the opportunity to governments and local administrations to deal with the waste tyre problem to a great extent.
• The system prevents the spread of diseases caused by waste tyres.
• We deliver plants with capacities of 5 ton/day & 10 ton/day and its multiples.
• The process of Pyrolysis has duration of 4 to 12 hours, depending on the amount and type of tyre (car tyre, truck tyre, etc.). During the process different vacuum values are applied in pre-determined temperatures and in different phases different gases are obtained and the condensed gas is stored as fuel-oil in tanks.

Output Products:

Efficient industrial pyrolysis is a process to treat the rubber and industrial plastic waste. Pyrolysis is the decomposition of organic compounds under oxygen-free atmosphere that produces gas, oil, carbon black and steel.

Output Products:

Fuel oil (40 to 45%):

The main oil product produced by our recycling application is the fuel oil, which is wide used for industrial and commercial purposes. The oil has 40%-45% of the amount of recycled scrap tyres, which will be carried with licensed tanker trucks.

Carbon black (30 to 35%):

Carbon black is the main product recycled by the pyrolysis technology. The amount of recycled carbon black is 35%-42% (depending on the type of tyre) of the total amount of scrap tyres recycled in the system. Carbon black is used as raw material or main ingredient in many industries and the chemical structure of carbon black strengthens, lengthens the endurance, and improves the coloring features of the materials.

Carbon black produced by pyrolysis application (CBp) is more economical compared to carbon black produced primarily from petroleum and is more price-efficient. It is to be used as an ingredient in the following industries:
• Electric cable jacketing
• Conveyor bands
• Carrier bands
• Home and doormats
• Black nylon bags
• Rubber additives
• Automotive spare parts
• Heat isolation
• Black colorant in rubber materials
• Plastic pipes
• Industrial rubber products
• Fire fighting

Steel wire (10 to 15%):

Tyres contain steel wires, the amount ranging from 10% to 15% of the total tyre weight. All of the steel present in the tyre can be detached after the pyrolysis recycling process is completed. Valuable steel wires are pressed and sold to steel and scrap dealers.

Gas (10 to 12%):

Non-condensable gases arise during the recycling application which:
• Has a higher calorific value compared to natural gas;
• Can replace natural gas and propane when stored;
• Can be used as energy resource in gas burners, also used in pyrolysis system.

The amount of gas generated in the system is 12 to 15% of the total amount of recycled tyres and considering the 10 ton scrap tyre/day recycling capacity, the facility generates 1400 - 1500 m³/day gas which has an enormous energy potential when evaluated.
