What is Tyre Pyrolysis?
Tyre pyrolysis is a thermochemical recycling process in which end-of-life tyres are heated at elevated temperatures under controlled oxygen-limited conditions.
Unlike combustion, the tyre material is not directly burned. Instead, the rubber and polymer components thermally decompose to produce:
- Tyre Pyrolysis Oil
- Carbonaceous Material / Recovered Carbon Black
- Pyrolysis Gas
- Recovered Steel
Tyre Pyrolysis Process
Waste Tyres → Tyre Shredding / Preparation → Feeding System → Pyrolysis Reactor → Vapour Separation → Condensation → Pyrolysis Oil Collection → Gas Recovery → Carbon Cooling & Collection → Steel Recovery
The process is designed to recover maximum value from waste tyres while maintaining controlled temperature, pressure and oxygen-limited operating conditions.
