This Tyre Pyrolysis Plant and Recycling machine is the very latest development by Divum Consulting. FIVE years in the making, we have at last created the ultimate system of Recycling used Tyres of all sizes. MOST importantly the BY Products or outputs are now so valuable that the returns on Investment come so much more quickly and are SUSTAINABLE for up to 15 years.

The Challenge
of Waste Tyres
Presented by Michael Clay

2. Introduction
 Tyres
have been manufactured and
designed to exacting standards to
achieve;
– Long-lived safety
– High performance
– Durability
 These
same design criteria also
makes them very difficult to re-cycle.

3. Background
Tyres are very difficult to re-cycle due to
their molecular bonding.
 Tyre storage poses unique risks, including
fire and, in warmer climates, the
harbouring of mosquitoes in stored water.
 A fire in a tyre storage facility is very
difficult to extinguish and some have been
known to burn for many months
 They also present massive public service
problems, including air polution and
contamination to water supplies.


4. Volumes of Tyres
 It
is estimated that there are in
excess of 1Billion tyres stockpiled
around the World
 Each
year, a further 1.4Billion tyres
are added to the Global stockpile.








Self-sustaining systems with low operating cost.
Fully automated with very low manpower requirements.
Ability to adjust output quality of recovered oil.
Closed, continuous-feed system that increases efficiency
and overall effectiveness of process.
No pollutant emissions.
Flexibility in pricing policies for end-products because of
independence from raw material
price fluctuations.
End-products such as carbon black, oil and steel are
commodities.
International recognition for deploying an environmental
technology that helps to solve one of the biggest waste
accumulation problems.
Modular system for later-stage expansions.

11. Overall Benefits
 Ecological
 Safe
sound
in operation
 Commercially
 Applicable
viable
all over the World

12. Overall Benefits

Operates in Accordance with EU
Directive 91/156/EEC
 Production
of high value energents from waste
material (tyres)
 Reduction at source, re-use, re-cycle, energy
recovery, disposal
 Secure supply of input raw material (waste tyres
volume is increasing)
 Closed ecological process, no harmful influence on
environment,
 Input material is 100% recycled and re-used
 Unit can be modified to include the pyrolysis of
plastics, such as dirty plastics and car fluff.

13. Design Proposition

This facility has been designed with 5
basic principles in mind;
– It must meet and exceed current emissions
criteria in both Europe and in the USA
– It must be a sound commercial proposition
– It must be semi-automatic in operation
– It must be safe to operate
– It must have an operating life in excess of
10 years

14. The Proposition
 The
Pyrolysis unit has been 4 years
in the design and development.
 It meets and exceeds both the
European and US regulations on
emissions.
 It has been designed to last well in
excess of 10 years.
 It can also handle certain
plastics, coal tar and waste oils

15. Accommodation Needs
 The
Pyrolysis unit is modular in
design and is transportable.
 A Single unit, (including the refinery)
may be housed in a structure only
7m high, 5m wide and 60m long (a
floor area of only 300 sq metres)

16. Commercials - 1
A
single Pyrolysis unit can process 2224 metric tonnes (mt) of
scrap, shredded tyres/day (>8,000
mt/year)
 It can produce the following;
– Carbon black 3,600mt
– Steel
560mt
– Pyrolysis Oil
3,000mt
– Flammable gas 800mt
43%
7%

17. Commercials - 2
By value, the output is as follows;
 It can produce the following:–
–
–
–
Carbon Black @US$750/mt 3,600mt US$2.7m
Steel @US$320/mt
560mt US$179,200
Flammable gas is used within facility for the burners
*Pyrolysis Oil @US$900/mt 3,000mt US$2.7m
 Total


is US$5.579m
*Note; this is for carbon black at N660 quality; the add-on
refinery can achieve activated charcoal with a resale value in
excess of US$1,400/mt making the by products
EVEN MORE VALUABLE

18. Commercials - 3
A single Pyrolysis unit costs around US$6.5m, and is
subject to a site survey; includes the following;
– Full turn-key installation including training.
– 8,000 operating hours warranty
– Delivery and installation

Excluded is the following;
–
–
–
–
–
–
Supply of feedstocks
Land and shed/s
Groundworks
Manpower to operate
Connection to grid and operating power
Taxes and import duties

19. Commercials - 4
 For
a single Pyrolysis unit costing
around US$6.5m, payment terms
are as follows;
– 50% deposit with order
– 40% some 8 weeks before shipping
– 10% on sign-off of commissioning
 The
option of manufacturing incountry is available.

20. Summary





Pyrolysis, a much misunderstood
technology, has a valuable part to play in
recycling certain specific waste products – and in
a commercially viable manner.
This unit is optimised for tyres and certain waste
oils.
The optimum method of operating is in groups
(pods) of 4 pyrolysis machines.
Each Pod is capable of processing some 32,000
mt of tyres annually (3.2m tyres), a pod can
generate some US$19m gross (less
labour, land, power requirements and taxation)
per annum from a capital outlay of US$26m
The ROI should be achieved within 2.5 years

21. Conclusion
Operating as Pods (groups of 4) will
provide certain economies of scale and
improve the ROI.
 Full training and technical support will be
provided.
 Each Pyrolysis unit is able to provide data
electronically 24/7 to our Control Centre
to monitor performance and assist in
achieving optimum throughput.
