This document summarizes a waste-to-fuel technology that recycles used tires and plastic waste into hydrocarbons using pyrolysis. Pyrolysis involves decomposing organic matter at high temperatures without oxygen. The process produces a synthetic diesel fuel, as well as light gas, carbon black, and steel. The diesel fuel can be further refined into diesel No. 2 and No. 1. The technology provides an energy autonomous and cost-effective way to process waste while reducing its environmental impact.

WASTE 2 FUEL TECHNOLOGY

2. Waste management is a growing
problem. TIA proposes a lucrative
and sustainable solution.
A plant recycling used tires and
plastic waste into hydrocarbons
through a process known as,
pyrolysis.
Pyrolysis : Organic matter
decomposition at high
temperatures in the absence of
oxygen.

3. Submitting tires and plastics to fragmentation temperatures in
the absence of oxygen we can recompose their primary
components at molecular scale.

4. This innovative used tires and plastic waste recycling plant uses catalytic
pyrolysis technology to obtain a hydrocarbon mixture which has similar
characteristics to the fuel known as diesel no. 4. This process also produces
3 other coproducts: a light gas, carbon black and steel. The synthetic diesel
is ideal for power, heat and vapor production in boilers. It can also be used
as fuel for ships and other vehicles. Plant can be equipped with a diesel
refinery to obtain diesels no. 2 and no.1.

5. Process

6. Advantages
The choice of this technology comes from its energetic autonomy, its
operational reliability, the cost-effectiveness of its production and its
environmental adequacy.
Given the reality around used tires and plastic waste treatment we
are convinced this process is the best technological option for
recycling them.
To achieve viable levels of production 12 years of studies, trials and
implementation were necessary.

8. This advanced pyrolysis system uses its own patented
catalyst added to the tires and plastics before entering the
reactor. It improves process efficiency and maximizes
system productivity.

9. 4 products obtained:
- light gas
- diesel
- steel
- carbon Black
Process studies and results validation was done by SGS.

10. Diesel (43% ~ 47%)
As energy source Tire-Derived Fuel (TDF) has an
excellent performance potential compared to alternative
methods.
The diesel no. 4 produced by our system will naturally find
market in the local industry sector, particularly in energy-
intensive ones. Refinery option available for diesels no. 2
and no. 1.

11. Steel (13% ~ 17%)
This process separates the steel from the tires.
One metric ton per day to be sold at international market
price.

12. Carbon Black (28% ~ 32%)
This process also produces carbon black in market
adequate norms. The system outputs carbon black of
N330 and N660 qualities making it easier to sell.
Process can be readjusted in order to comply with carbon
black client requirements.

13. Light Gas (8% ~ 12%)
Energy
self-sufficiency:
high calorific value gas
to be used as main
energy source for
process.

14. Production capacity
Recycling plant in
optimal conditions

15. Environmental considerations
The final disposition of used tires and plastics is a serious environmental problem.
Inappropriate disposal creates not only an ecological problem but a public health one as
well.
Given collection and storage problems used tires and plastics often end up in
unsuitable places.
Moreover, pilling up in open air spaces, tires and plastics can be the perfect containers
for harmful proliferations creating serious health issues.
Installing a waste 2 fuel plant can be a lucrative solution to this problem considerably
reducing negative impact on ecosystem and public health.
Although the presented technology is last generation it has reached maturity in its
country of origin. Its viability has been proven at different application levels in active
plants.

16. Comparative Advantage
In the last thirty years more than 30 projects based on pyrolysis
process have been proposed, conceived, patented and built all over
the planet. Until recently, non have been commercially viable.
Waste treatment primary constraints are both economical and
technical. Costs are often high and resulting by-products of little
commercial interest. This pioneering technology profitably takes
these constraints into account, it outputs salable coproducts. It is
thereby a new profitable alternative to recycle used tires and
plastics. Plus it has few emissions.

17. Advantages
Over similar technologies

18. Modularity – The system is conceived to work at reduced
scale while easily allowing an increase in production if
needed. Designed to function with little base material,
transportation costs are reduced compared to similar
technologies.
Limited installation size – reasonable installation costs
Low power consumption – among the numerous advantages
to be noted, this pyrolysis process is thermochemical and its
power demand is minimal, limited to lights, monitoring, control
systems, pumps and electric motors.

19. Self-sufficient system – As explained previously, once the system
reaches production pace it becomes thermally self-sufficient. There is
no need for an alternative heat source.
Low environmental impact – There is no system treating in
hydrocarbons with a zero impact on the environment. However, this
new technology that already solves a considerable waste problem
produces few emissions. Minimal emissions are guarantied by gas
filters before and after combustion. Low enough to comply with
« Minor Source » norms from the Environmental Protection Agency
(US).

20. Values
On the base of a 10 metric tons per day treatment plant,
Return On Investment is reachable in less than 24 months
with 300 days per year operations.
In optimal conditions diesel no. 4 production is
approximately 68 thousand liters per month.
