Best Practice of used tires Management
The scraped tires can be used in shredded form or as whole pieces as alternative fuel in cement factories
Recently the used tires are converted to liquid fuel through the technology of pyrolysis , which is destructive distillation in absence of air (oxygen) and at higher temperature750 to 850 ◦C under these conditions used tires can be converted into liquid to be blend with fuel oil up to40%.
Used tires can be shredded and separate the rubber from the steel wires without burning and pollute the environment
Tire shredding can produce the following byproducts: Steel, Fiber, Tire Derived Fuel Chips (TDF), and Rubber Mulch, Rubber Powder.
The method of recycling waste tire is that; it separates the inner steel wire and fiber from waste tires through many kinds of technologies and grinding the rubber granules into powder, waste tires can recovery to rubber granules/powder reaching up100%. Its most advantages are the followings:-
The reclaimed rubber could replace part of the new rubber to make up for shortfall in supply.
It could reduce production cost and improve economic performance
It is characterized by reducing environmental pollution, turning waste into useful product and having better social benefit.
The rubber powder is widely used and almost covers all industrial fields. It can replace the material such as plastic and PVC, instead of nature rubber, be reused in tires, it is used in sport runway and shoe soles; it also can be used to highway, air trip as well as third generation railway sleeper as modification asphalt.

Thermolysis. You may not have heard of this process yet, but if the team at Our Innovations have their way, you may soon find yourself using the valuable raw materials or the oil, gas and electricity it produces. Our Innovations has perfected an industrial process that uses thermolysis the thermal dismantling of substances under oxygen shortage to turn recycled polymer waste into a variety of commercially useful substances including oil and gas. With a prestigious green innovation award and two rounds of financing already under its belt, the German company is now moving into a third round of financing Our Innovations started with the ambition to find breakthrough solutions to recycling polymer waste, the waste from used tires, bituminous roof insulation, weather stripping, various kinds of packaging and many other common items. Currently50% of this waste is burned while the rest is buried in landfill. Both disposal methods carry an ecological cost and they represent a missed opportunity to recapture the valuable polymers locked in the disused products.
Our innovations solution is a revolutionary recycling unit that uses pyrolysis, a type of thermolysis, to process polymer waste. These modular self-contained units are able to handle up to5000 tons of waste per annum. With no moving parts, the units are transportable and easily installed on industrial premises. They can be scaled up, used in series, or downsized to meet a range of capacity needs. Best of all, they are energy self-sufficient, and can be engineered to generate a range of products including rubber flour, soot, coke, activated charcoal, oil, gas, electricity and heat.
Scalable:
· - Pilot plant for tires—300 tons/annum
· - Industrial plant—5000 tons/annum
· - Partners can make2 units of 5000 tons/annum per month
· - Plans to extend capacity to8-10 units per month
Our innovations exciting work on polymer recycling hasn’t gone unappreciated: in2012, it won best innovation of the year in Germany and was named “green champion”. Its two early financing rounds attracted funds from angel investors and the European Union as well as garnering matching funds from industrial partners.
Along the way, Our innovations has established relationships with a range of industries, many of whom have a direct interest in the success of the technology. The young company has collaborated with variety of potential clients in the development stages, including tire manufacturers, bitumen producers, aluminum producers and EPDM (a type of synthetic rubber) producers. Our innovations has also forged supportive relationships in other sectors, for example drawing talent and expertise from universities and engineering companies. This widespread interest is one indication of the potential value of their product in a range of sectors and applications.
There’s a buzz around Our innovations. Yet the question remains: Is there market potential in its innovative approach to polymer recycling? With demand for sustainable and green manufacturing processes continuing to grow globally, the answer is yes.
Take used tires as just one example: currently Europe alone generates3 million tons of used tires; worldwide that figure increases to13.5 million tons per annum. Our innovations pyrolytic recycling units offer a practical alterative to burning or burying this mountain of waste a proposition that will be attractive to both industry and government. By capturing just10% of this market, the company could achieve a cumulated turnover of around4 billion euros. At the same time it could reduce pollution and CO2 emissions, generate useful raw materials and create a beneficial impact for the planet and its inhabitants.
It is pleasure to introduce our new thermolysis technology for your firm I want to take this opportunity to introduce, my firm and my solution to you so that we may determine the benefit of any potential relationship we may establish.
Our plants is an innovative recycling and plant construction company located in France, Germany, and Luxemburg.
Our Innovations group is developing, constructing, and operating its patented thermolysis recycling technology. This technology is specialized in used tyres, plastics, and bitumen waste. Thermolysis is the thermal dismantling of organic substances (respectively rubber and plastic wastes) under oxygen shortage. During this process, waste is transformed into oil, gas, and coke.
The plant is practically energy independent. Solely the start of the machine requires energy from external sources. Thereafter, a self-sufficient cycle makes it possible to create, among other products, the energy necessary to run the machine. In some cases, an energy surplus is produced (electricity or heat).
Our development was observed already in2011 by " Head of Chair of Chemical Engineering of the University of Bayreuth / Germany " in a study. Our technology works without trouble. we recycle waste tire and plastics and produce oil / carbon / gas / electricity. we not ruin the quality of the oil/ carbon/ gas. we have our oil/carbon/gas regularly by independent laboratories investigate. We have a perfect quality. can be directly processed again.
Following types of waste/products can be recycled:
· Used tyres (truck, car, motocycle, etc)
· Bitumen isolations (roof isolations, etc)
· EPDM and other elastomer rubber waste (window and door isolations)
· PE/PET (films, bottles, diverse parts, etc)
· Biomass (greenery, wood, food waste, etc)
· Packaging (Tetra Pak, etc)
· Oil shale / oil sand (Test phase)
The following products can be generated: Rubber flour, soot, coke, activated charcoal, oil, gas (similar to natural gas), electricity and warmth.
In the future, a substantial meaning will be given to the recycling of rubber and plastic wastes, even more if expensive products and energy can be created by this process. This project combines economic and ecological requirements of a waste management concept with low investment and operating costs, while recovering raw materials and fossil fuels substitutes.
Our Company has successfully sold the presented process to customers all over the world and is now building the first industrial sized unit. This project combines economic and ecological requirements of a waste management concept with low investment and operating costs, while recovering raw materials and fossil fuels substitutes. The plants are built from standardized modules, each module with a capacity of5.000 tons per year. The purchase costs of such a module amount to6.600.000 Euro grand total. The turnover will increase from2.276.000 Euro per year to2.875.000 per year Euro within five years.
As rubber recycling is becoming the clue in the environment sector, this process is having an interesting and very promising future. Current assumptions state that energy consumption will grow by30% by2030 and that over2 billion people will not have access to sufficient and affordable energy. As each country will have to solve its energy problems alone, being energetically independent is the ultimate condition. The goal is to save and develop local production capacities in order to reduce the energy importations. Furthermore, there is a huge employment potential in the renewable energy field. Until2020, up to500.000 people will find a job in this field in Europe. The decentralized structure of this field can also promote employments in some regions, where the economical activity is less important. The renewable energies are characterized by a diversity of the economical actors. Whether they are SMEs, communities, or private investors, everybody is able to participate at the development of this field.
