4. About us
Get Energy Prime Italia is a company active
in the field of research, development and
construction of production plants to create
electric and thermal energy (cogeneration)
using alternative sources.
Get Energy Prime Italia was founded in 1996
as Get Energy Research (Research Centre)
and, from the beginning, has always been
focused on the research and development of
new energy sources, in collaboration with the
research and study centre of the university of
Warsaw and Horus Energia S.p.A.

5. General Information
TECHNOLOGICAL PLANT FOR THE TREATMENT OF ELTs AND THE PRODUCTION OF ELECTRIC
AND THERMAL POWER PNEUS GINEO
The growing demand for electric power, the
scarcity of non renewable energy sources,
the increase of landfills imply the need to
use modern technologies in order to produce
electric and thermal energy at a lower cost.
Treating ELTs to obtain new energy
resources can be a way to implement ecosustainability. How? By using cogeneration.
Art. 2 paragraph 8 of Italian Legislative
Decree 79/99 defines “cogeneration” as
the combined production of electric power
and heat at the conditions set out by the
Regulatory Authority for Electricity and Gas.
Our experience is based on studies carried
out by specialised experts who, after years of
researches, have designed a new technology
for the treatment of ELTs at modulated
temperatures at low pressure, thus allowing
for the recovery of the liquid (synthetic oils),
gas and solid products.
The final result is a number of plants that can
assure:
- disposal of ELTs
- Production electric power
- production of thermal energy
AIM OF THE STUDY AND SOUNDNESS OF THE PNEUS GINEO INVESTMENT
The study describes a thermal power station,
a plant where ELTs are recovered and
transformed into the so called large fraction,
that is then used as an alternative source to
heat or supply energy to current generators.

The instrument to reach the above
mentioned aims is the plant for the
transformation of ELTs, the essential and
integral subject of the study.

disposed of in the country. The United States
have now been replaced by China as world
leader, with over 200 millions of part worn
tyres, which correspond to over 5 million
tons.
Overfilled landfills and the ongoing increase
of non degradable waste are threatening the
environment. In this context key words are:
recycling, disposal and energy recovery.
This is what has been underlined by the
study “L’Italia del riciclo 2010” (Recycling in
Italy 2010), sponsored by the Ministry for the
Environment and Ispra. When dealing with
tyres, the first problem is to know exactly
the number of ELTs all around the world,
and how many of them are disposed of or
recovered, since these data are often difficult
to find and to compare.
The scarcity of world estimates and the weak
management by the Chinese market make
us assume that approximately one third of
the 13,500,000 tons of ELTs produced every
year in the world are either disposed of in
controlled or illegal landfills or incinerated.
Reliable data concerning the last fifteen
years are available for Japan, Europe and
USA and they indicate that the increase in
the share of recovered waste corresponds
to lower recycling costs, thanks to a greater
efficiency and to the use of new recovery
technologies
To this must be added the lack of official
data in many emerging economies. The
evolution of the Chinese market in the last
decade has brought about a tremendous
increase of tyres produced, used and

9. Until recently, ELTs were mainly sent to
mixed waste or dedicated landfills: in Europe
landfill disposal has been forbidden since
July 2003 for whole tyres and since July 2006
for shredded tyres, except bicycle tyres,
those with an outside diameter above 1,400
mm and ELTs used as engineering material
for landfills.
the proliferation of parasites and larvae.
Furthermore, even though ELTs are not
prone to spontaneous combustion, in
case of fire, they can propagate it very
quickly because of the air pockets in their
composition. The smoke produced by this
uncontrolled burning of ELTs can contain
toxic gases , such as aromatic hydrocarbons,
sulphur compounds, carbon monoxide and
nitrogen oxides.
An effective alternative to this kind of
disposal has now become a need that
cannot be postponed, given the fact that
landfills are affected by health and sanitary
problems: tyres are in fact water proof and
imperishable, and have a hollow shape that
facilitate water stagnation, thus spreading

10. Social and Environmental Issues
The high temperatures reached during
the fire cause also the decomposition of
the rubber mix and the production of
hydrocarbon oils of different molecular
weight that facilitate the propagation of
the fire.
The fire extinction can also be hazardous
since chemical leaches can contain heavy
metals in such a concentration as to pollute
the underground layer.
This is the reason why landfill disposal has
been progressively outlawed in Japan, North
America and Europe.
As it was the case in the USA, the prohibition
of landfill disposal of ELTs, introduced in
Europe by EC Directive 1999/31 and adopted
in Italy with Italian Legislative Decree No
36/2003 has revolutionized the entire ELTs
chain, favouring the implementation of
new recovery methods. Since 2006 landfill
disposal of both whole and shredded tyres
has been forbidden, except for tyres used
as engineering material and those with an
outside diameter above 1,400 mm.
At present the fight is against illegal ETLs
dumping sites, that cannot be controlled and
represent a further hazard for human health
and the environment.
10
In Europe, as in the United States, until
recently tyres have been channelled to
landfill. With an annual growth of tyres’
production of approximately 2.6%, the
amount of waste to be managed has passed
from 2.10 million tons in 1994 to 2.28 million
tons in 2006 (EU 15); with the enlargement
of the European Union to 27 member States,
the total of ELTs can be estimated at 3.2
million tons/year.

The Italian situation is different: even though

DISTILLER UNIT
The fuel group is composed of a current
generator, a depolymerisation system and
other devices.
Carbohydrates and solid polymeric
hydrocarbons and liquid waste ( mainly
pyrolytic oil produced by worn tyres (ELTs))
are introduced in the depolymerizer (No. 4)
and submitted to the catalyser action and to
high temperatures.
Following the action of these factors, the
crude materials are transformed into liquid
and then gas hydrocarbons as hot vapours.
These last ones, thanks to their overpressure,
go into the cooling piping system (No.5)
where a liquid fuel is produced in the first
sections and a gaseous one in the final
sections.
The liquid fuel (No. 6), from the cooling
piping (No. 5) precipitates directly into the
liquid fuel tank (No. 7). Gaseous fuel instead,
after passing through the gas fuel filter ( No.
9) and the gas valve (No. 10), thanks to its
overpressure, is introduced together with the
atmospheric air into the suction collectors
(No. 2) and, in turn, introduced in the current
generator (No.1).
In the final part of the cooling pipeline
(No. 5) a control valve is installed (No. 12),
exclusively as a safety element.
Following the hydrogenation of the
paraffinic oil some micro water bubbles are
formed (No. 18).
Between the liquid fuel tank (No. 7) and the
technological recovery system (No. 13) there
is a three-directional pump (No. 21): the first
one (entry) is connected to the liquid fuel
tank (No. 7), a second one (entry) to the
water tank (No. 20) and a third one (exit) to
the technological recovery system (No. 13)
The pump has been designed as a special
“static or cavitation pump” that mixes fuel
and water.
After this treatment, it goes into the fuel
pipeline (No. 19) and to the engine of the
current generator (No.1).
In this way, in the engine combustion
chamber are introduced both the liquid and
the gas fuels (micro bubbles). (No. 18)
During the combustion process hydrogen
is mixed with oxygen, thus creating further
energy compared to that generated during
the combustion of a common hydrocarbon.
This entails significant savings of liquid fuel
during the generation of electric and thermal
energy.
Furthermore, this process produces water
vapour, whose presence in burnt material
reduces the concentration of residues thus
making the whole process eco-friendly.
Next to the liquid fuel tank (No. 7) a
technological recovery system (No. 13)
is placed, for the hydrogenation of the
paraffinic oil.

30. Conclusions
At a time when the ongoing increase of waste
cannot be handled through the use of landfills
or incinerators, which cause highly pollutant
emissions and residues, the only possible
solution is to use waste components.
The search for new energy sources that has
been carried out in these last years by Get
Energy prime Italia has identified ELTs as
a possible solution allowing to produce
electric and thermal energy by exploiting the
alternative recycling processes.
ELTs composition makes their use suitable for
different industrial sectors: electric power,
thermal energy, Carbon Black, metal.
We learnt from our experience that the
higher the number of applications, the higher
the compensation effect is when a sector is in
crisis.
energy production from alternative sources.
PNEUS GINEO is at the core of this objective,
since it is characterised by the innovative
solutions applied and, in the meantime, by a
structural simplicity that makes the plant easy
to manage.
Choosing to recover end of life tyres and
convert them can solve two critical points:
eliminating a polluting material that is
destined to destruction and producing energy
thanks to alternative methods, in compliance
with eco-sustainable principles and objectives.
Now that the key word is “recover”,
transforming tyres into a resource means to
optimise two processes. But it also means
to tackle the spreading of illegal dumping
sites and help the planet. A choice for the
environment. A valuable choice from the
point of view of costs and profits.
Furthermore, the social problem at world level
gives us only one perspective: ELTs recycling.
Get Energy Prime Italia is ready to set up, with
its partners, a strong and dynamic system for
ELTs recovery, that involves the market of
