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?
TDF is currently the largest single market for waste tyre management. As an
energy source, TDF has good potential compared to other fuel source
alternatives.

Carbon Black (35%)
Carbon black is an essential ingredient in tyres and other
mechanical rubber goods. It improves product durability and
overall performance. It also is used as a pigment in printing inks,
paints and plastics.
ASTM N330 carbon black grade provides good abrasion resistance
with high resilience, easy processing, good tensile and tear
properties. Wide range of application in natural rubber and
synthetic rubber compound for both tyres and mechanical goods.
ASTM N660 carbon black grade moderately reinforced grade.
Excellent general use purpose bla Provides good reinforcement,
low heat generation, smooth processing to all elastomers.
Used in tyres carcass sidewalls a mechanical goods
