Is tyre pyrolysis plant helpful to the environment? Definitely yes. Besides, it can also make money from recycling old tires. Let’s see how it happens.
1. Reduce Tire Waste
There are billions of scrap tires in stockpiles, which are urgent to process. However, they are not desired at landfills because of their high durability and non-biodegradability. In comparison, pyrolysis can convert waste tyres into usable oil, carbon black, steel wire, etc. Then these products can be used in many industries. Obviously, pyrolysis can greatly reduce waste to save valuable landfills while making money. Below are the wide applications of the end products.
| End Products | Proportion | Applications |
| Pyrolysis Oil | 35%-50% | 1. Sell directly 2. Reprocessed into non-standard diesel by oil distillation machine 3. As fuel for heavy industries, such as iron factories, power plants, cement factories, restaurants, etc. |
| Carbon Black | 30%-35% | 1. Blended with asphalt to make road 2. Reprocessed into quality carbon by carbon black grinding equipment 3. As low-quality fuel with coal to make coal briquette |
| Steel Wire | 8%-15% | 1. Sell directly 2. Making steel bloom by hydraulic press-packing |
| Combustible Gas | 8%-15% | As alternative fuel to heat the reactor |
2. Eco-friendly Design
Exhaust Gas Treatment
Pyrolysis is a kind of chemical degradation processes that occur at high temperature without oxygen. It is different from burning. In addition, the Beston pyrolysis plant is also equipped with multiple systems to process tail gas and waste water. For example, the combustible gas will be burned to remove the harmful components. Then the tail gas will go through the de-dusting system to cool down and remove the particulate matters. In general, it includes flue condenser, water spray tower, ceramic ring absorption, and activated carbon adsorption, etc. More than that, the de-dusting system can be customized to meet your local emission standard.
Waste Water Treatment
Besides, the whole plant is fully sealed to stop fly ash. Also, we use water cooling system in discharging. For one thing, it can cool down the carbon black soon. For the other thing, it can keep carbon black in water. So you will find that the pyrolysis plant with a water cooling system is cleaner. Then the waste water will go through the lime dry process, etc. So you will never worry about that the pyrolysis plant will pollute the environment.
3. Energy-saving Design
As mentioned, the combustible gas will be recycled to heat the reactor. On the one hand, it can remove the harmful components in the flue gas. On the other hand, it replaces heating fuel to save your cost. The self-sufficient design makes Beston tyre pyrolysis plant more eco-friendly. That’s why our pyrolysis units are successfully set up in 20+ countries, such as the UK, Indonesia, Brazil, Turkey, Canada, etc.
Conclusion
Environmental protection is a global issue. Pyrolysis plant is an innovative way for old tyre recycling, plastic disposal, etc. What’s more, the proper pyrolysis plant design can also generate huge profits for investors. Beston Machinery has developed batch, semi-continuous, and fully continuous types to choose from. If you are interested in tyre recycling business, please feel free to contact us for details!
