The Pneus GINEO is a plant designed and built to process, via pyrolysis, granular material obtained from the treatment of End of Life Tires. “Pyrolysis” is a process which induces thermal degradation (depolymerisation) of organic compounds in presence of heat and absence of oxygen. Therefore there is no combustion. Granular rubber, obtained from End of Life Tires, is introduced by a conveyor belt in the loading hopper that will transfer it in the pyrolysis reactor after a pre-heating step. The reactor is equipped with a motorized mixer that ensures that the heating of the granular rubber, by electronically programmed inductors, is accurate. The granular product, once introduced in the reactor with a variable temperature. Will generate gas and char. Following the process of pyrolysis, the char is continuously discharged from a reactor nozzle and transferred under forced cooling to dedicated containers While the gas of pyrolysis is introduced in air cooled heat exchangers where the condensed liquid phases are collected The heat exchangers condensing the gas of pyrolysis are equipped with ambient air cooled fins and are built in sections to allow an optimized fractioned condensation. The liquid phase, following its transfer into collecting tanks, will undergo a 12 micron filtration to remove suspended solid The condensed phase (organic oils of different composition in the various stages) is collected in settling tanks While the remaining gaseous phase is introduced in a water filled tank to be washed before being sent to energy generators The generator group is modified to accept, as fuel, both liquid and gaseous phase generated by the pyrolysis The generators are equipped with a catalyst that enables the conformance to environmental emission limits All the components of the Pneus Gineo equipment are fabricated with special stainless steels The operation of the system is controlled via a programmed electronic device The design, fabrication and operation of the plant are in conformance with the EU regulations

Get Energy Prime Italia was founded in 1996 as Get Energy Research (Research
Centre) and from the beginning it has always been focused on Research and
Development of new energy sources, in collaboration with the research and study
centre of the University of Warsaw (Poland) and Horus Energia S.p.A (Italy) (www.
horus-energy.com).
Founded with private capitals, thanks to its long experience and expertise Get
Energy has recently obtained funding from the European Community to build the
“Pneus Gineo” tire waste (End of Life Tires or ELT) processing plant and operate it as
demonstration unit in the industrial area of Rieti.
Our philosophy is to be an important and reliable partner of industries and businesses
operating in the international energy sector. The mission of our R&D department is
to design a processing plant based on a technology that safely and economically
transforms rubber tires waste in valuable by-products which can provide an attractive
return on investment.
We believe that ELT waste, whose accumulation and storage pose complex
environmentalissues,can,throughthepyrolysisprocess,notonlybringaneconomic
advantage to the operator but be an environmental success story as well.

waste management principles and addressing
the issue of ELTs.
Indealingwithtires,themanyreportsindicatethat
the first problem to be addressed is the inventory
and the waste management characteristics
of ELTs. This issue is particularly relevant in
countries listed as emerging economies.

States have now been replaced by China as
world leader in ELT generation, with over
200 million tires per year (approximately 5
million tons).
Although until recently ELTs were sent
to dedicated or mixed waste landfills,
legislation was passed banning (with few
exceptions) landfill disposal in the USA and,
since July 2003, in Europe. Nevertheless,
approximately one third of the 13.5 million
tons of ELTs produced every year in the world
are still either disposed of in uncontrolled or
illegal landfills or burned.

10. 10 We help the environment.
The more alarming illegal practice associated with ELT
disposal is, however, ‘open air combustion’ of tires.
The smoke produced by uncontrolled burning contains
serious pollutants like aromatic hydrocarbons, sulphur
compounds, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides.

SMOKE COMPOSITION FROM UNCONTROLLED BURNING OF ELTs

11. 11 We generate clean energy.
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.
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.
P R I M E I T A L I A

12. 12 We help the environment.
The Italian situation is different: even though
approximately 48% of ELTs are used for energy
recovery, the corresponding share of the real
material recovery does not balance this ratio and
there is still a high percentage (>25%) of material
whose destination is uncertain.
In Italy every year 100 thousand
tons of end of life tyres disap-
pear unknown, according to a
Legambiente report concerning
the period 2005 to 2010.
The study has identified, since 2005, more than
1.050 illegal dumping sites on a territory of
over 6 millions of square meters.
These illegal activities can be ascribed to
Ecomafia but also to some operators that build
small landfills in order to reduce the costs of
disposal.
Apulia has 230 ELT illegal sites, that account
for 22% of the national total, followed by
Calabria with 159 sites, Sicily with 141 and
Campania with 131. Lazio has the negative
record for the Centre, with 77 illegal dumping
sites, whereas Piedmont is leader in the North
with 37. For the State, the overall economic
damage accounts for 2 billion Euros, including
VAT evasion on disposal and reclamation
costs. Another bad blow for the environment,
in terms of landscape and health.

General Information and
Social and Environmental Issues
The prohibition of landfill disposal of ELTs
in the USA (introduced in Europe by the EC
Directive 1999/31 and adopted in Italy with
Legislative Decree No 36/2003) has changed
the management practices and favoured the
implementation of new recovery methods.
This legislative change is particularly important
in Italy because the Italian situation is rather
peculiar: even though approximately 48% of
ELTs are claimed to be used for energy recovery,
the corresponding share of material recovery
does not match this value and a considerable
percentage (>25%) of material cannot be
accounted for. This fact results in 100 thousand
tons per year of ELTs not accounted for in the
period 2005/2010 (as per a Legambiente report).
The study also indicates that by the year 2005
more than thousand illegal dumping sites had
been identified on the national territory.
CoNSideriNg elT aS a reSourCe
NoT waSTe
The European Union (EU) considers “waste
minimization” the most desirable approach to
a differeNT meThod of TreaTmeNT of The elT
Here we will discuss one of the several methods of processing ELT to recover its basic components based on ‘non-
combustion’ thermal technologies. This heating process which induces thermal degradation (depolymerization) of
granular rubber compound in an inert environment is called “pyrolysis”.
PyrolySiS of rubber orgaNiC ComPouNdS iN a TemPeraTure CoNTrolled eNviroNmeNT will “CraCk”
Them iNTo a Solid fraCTioN (Char) aNd a gaSeouS oNe whiCh, Through CoNdeNSaTioN, will yield a
liQuid PhaSe aNd aN iNCoNdeNSable gaSeouS PhaSe.
The result of the pyrolysis process on ELT will be:
• The “char”, solid granular carbon with some impurities, which can be packaged for direct utilization or for further
processing.
• The liquid phase, a mixture of combustible oils, which can be drummed for commercial use or utilized “at source” to fuel
diesel/generator groups that can provide electricity to the processing plant and to the national electric grid.
• The third phase, a minor quantity of incompressible combustible gases, which will be “burned” in house, generally as a
mean of disposal of the by-product.
waste management while “re-use”, “recycling”
and “component recovery” of waste material are
all more desirable than ultimate “disposal”.
Although the re-use of ELTs is considered the
“Best Practicable Environmental Option”, the
current ever growing proportion of ELTs not
suitable for re-use poses a waste management
problem because the recycling options is not
available (ELT cannot be re-converted in rubber
and steel for use).
Only two approaches will prevent non-reusable
old tires from being disposed in landfills: (a) the
recovery of the tire ‘ingredients’ (combustible oils
and char) and (b) the recovery of the tire energy
content (heat).
To define the scale of the issue posed by ELTs
in Europe will suffice to quantify the yearly rate
of generation of ELTs: 3.3M tons/year in Europe,
of which ~450,000 tons/year in Italy [source:
www.etrma.org]. The “re-use” of old tires in
their integral form (rethreading) or granular
form (alternative uses, i.e. playground floors)
is an established industry practice of limited
applicability.

RUBBER COMPOSITION OF CAR TYRES
THE VALUE OF ELT

16. 16 We help the environment.
The tire key elements are “natural rubber”, a
natural polymeric material that obtained from
latex sap of trees, and “synthetic rubber”, a
rubber made by copolymerization of isobutylene
(2-methylpropene (CH3)2C=CH2 with a small
amount of isoprene.
The Carbon fraction refers to “Carbon black”, a
common tire manufacture additive; it is virtually
pure elemental carbon in the form of colloidal
particles (produced by incomplete combustion
or thermal decomposition of gaseous or liquid
hydrocarbons under controlled conditions).
The overall composition of tires
results in a product that, in general,
has more heat energy by weight than
coal (up to 37 MJ/kg vs. 27 MJ/kg).
End of life tires should therefore be considered an
economically valuable energy source and should
be separated from general waste streams.
The collection and sorting of ELTs is the first step
in managing this resource.
The “re-use” of old tires (by re-treading) will
remove a percentage of old tires from the waste
stream.
The “recovery path” will see tires processed
whole (via integrated processing –i.e. cement
kilns-or, ultimately, in landfill disposal -where
appropriate-) or in granular form (for component
recovery).
Using ambient or cryogenic processes (cooling of
rubbertoatemperaturebetween–60oand–100°C)
the milling of tires will produce granular rubber
of various sizes. This step allows the material
generated to be used in other applications ranging
from additive to asphalts, structural material in
sport surfaces and children’s playgrounds, etc..
Thesizeofcrumbrubberisrelatedtothetreatment
used and is optimized for the final product
destination. For example, ~4 cm3 particles seem
to be optimal for some type of pyrolysis equipment
while small particles (~1 mm diameter) favor
other uses. Particle sizing is addressed in ASTM
standards: the D5603 and D5644.
Waste tires can also be used directly as fuels in
incinerators, cement kilns and paper mills. Their
high heating value makes them excellent materials
for energy recovery. The disadvantages are the
need for flue gas cleaning and CO2 emission.
Tirepyrolysis(thermaldecompositioninanoxygen-
free environment) offers an environmentally
attractive method.
The products of tire pyrolysis process are: solid
char (30-40 wt %), organic liquid residue (40-60
wt %), and gases (5-20 wt %). The solid residue
contains carbon black and other mineral matters,
the organic oils may be used directly as fuels,
petroleum refinery feedstock or a source of
chemicals and the gaseous fraction, composed of
non-condensable organics as CH4, C2H4, C3H6
H2 e H2S, CO, CO2,etc., can be used to generate
on-site heat.

The waste strategy conveyed in the various
European Directives has, as its primary objective,
the prevention of waste. The Directive 2008/98/EC
defines prevention of waste as the best option.
Used tires constitute a high volume waste because
of the estimated 1 billion units generated per year
in the world (Environment Agency, 2012; Shulman,
2004). The European Commission identified waste
tyres as one of the ‘priority waste streams’ from
the mid-1990s (DEFRA, 2007) and it has since
introduced legislation regulating their disposal.
The Council Directive 1999/31/EC on the landfill of
waste sets the objectives for landfill operational
and technical requirements. Of significance
here is the fact that the Directive banned certain
wastes, particularly tires, from landfill disposal.
The 2000/53/EC Directive on end-of-life vehicles
(2000) aims primarily to prevent waste arising
from vehicle disposal and the reuse, recycling and
recovery of the vehicles and their components.
The reuse and recovery of waste tires makes a
contribution toward directive compliance.
The Directive 2000/76/EC on the incineration
of waste aims to prevent or limit the negative
environmental effects and the resulting risks to
human health from the incineration and the co-
incineration of waste. The Directive describes
the requirements to obtain a permit to operate
an incineration plant and defines incineration
plants as plants that thermally treat waste by
oxidizing it, with or without the recovery of the
combustion heat generated. It also includes other
thermal treatment processes such as pyrolysis,
gasification or plasma processes as long as the
substances obtained by these treatments are
subsequently incinerated. Co-incineration plants
include plants intended for the generation of
energy or to produce material products such as
cement kiln plants, but additionally use a waste
stream as fuel or with the intention of its disposal.
Directive 2008/98/EC on waste and repealing
certain Directives: Article 6 of the Directive sets
up conditions where waste ceases to be a waste
when it has undergone a recovery operation and
fulfils the following criteria:
• the substance or object is commonly used for
specific purposes;
• a market or demand exists for such a substance
or object;
• the substance or object fulfils the technical
requirements for the specific purposes and
meets the existing legislation, and
• the use of the substance or object will not lead
to overall adverse environmental or human health
impacts”.
The directive identifies specific waste streams
that meet the no-longer-waste criteria, tires are
amongst them.

The plant PNEUS GINEO 200 is the basic system
of the Get Energy Prime Italian.
The loading of the granules in the reactor is
adjusted to 200 kg/hr.
The pyrolysis conditions for normal power,
generate approximately 90 kg/hr of solid residue
and 80 kg/hr of organic liquid. The remaining
fraction of uncondensed gases is 30 kg/hr.
The diesel generator produces 200 kWe when it
is powered by 40 L/hr of fuel, and then the loading of
granules should be at least 100 kg/hr to obtain the
maximum output from the generator.
Of the 200 kWe available from the generator set, 50
kWe are disseminated to the pyrolysis system for
own consumption.
The heat generated by the combustion of the

PROdUCTION FROM aLTERNaTIVE SOURCES.
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
carriedoutintheselastyearsbyGetEnergyprime
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.
Furthermore, the social problem at world level
gives us only one perspective: ELTs recycling.
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.
