Technology:

Pyrolysis involves heating organic materials without oxygen to break them down to
simpler organic compounds. When organic wastes (e.g., waste tires) are the
feedstock, products of the process include char or carbon char, oil, and gas. For
example, pyrolysis can convert wood to charcoal and a low-Btu gas.

Gasification of organics occurs at operating conditions between the complete absence

of oxygen and stoichiometric (i.e., sufficient oxygen to complete the oxidation
reaction). Gasification involves drying and pyrolyzing a feedstock, and oxidizing the
solid char to heat the reaction and provide carbon monoxide (CO) to the gas. In the
early 1980s, the waste industry saw gasification as promising. Gasification processes
maximized the effect of carbon-hydrogen ratios. Furthermore, the product gas was
suitable fo r use in existing boilers / Gas Generators for Electricity Generation.

Liquefaction is the thermochemical conversion of an organic solid into a petroleum

-like liquid. Liquefaction typically involves the production of a liquid composed of
heavy molecular compounds from a pyrolytic gas stream. The liquid has properties
similar, but not identical, to those of petroleum-based fuels. Essentially, liquefaction
is manipulation of the pyrolysis process in order to produce a liquid with
characteristics similar to petroleum -based liquids (e.g., fuel oils).

Pyrolysis

Pyrolysis processes may operate as either batch feed or continuous feed systems.
Batch feed systems process a single charge of feedstock at a time. After required
residence time in the batch thermal reactor, solid products and residue are removed.
Conversely, in continuous feed systems, feedstock is conveyed through the thermal
reactor at a uniform rate, and solid products and residue are continuously discharged.
Pyrolysis relies on the addition of heat to break chemical bonds , providing a
mechanism by which organics decompose and vaporize. Most projects operate within
a temperature range of 250° - 500°C, although some report operating at up to 900°C.
At temperatures above approximately 250°C, shredded tires release increasing
amounts of liquid oil products and gases. Above 400°C, depending on the process
employed, the yield of oil and solid tire -derived char may decrease relativ e to gas
production.

A typical commercial operation is described below :

1. Tires delivered to a site are weighed. Tires are introduced to systems whole or
else halved, chopped, or shredded; Magnetic separation is often used to remove
ferrous metals from size - reduced tires.

2. The feedstock is typically dried and preheated, using tire -derived gas. Oxygen
is purged through a combination of the pyrolysis gas preheater and an inert gas
system employing nitrogen.

3. Temperature and residence time in the reactor are two key pyrolysis reactor
design criteria.Maintaining a positive pressure in the reac tor ensures that leaks
do not introduce oxygen from the air.

4. The liquid stage, tire-derived oil, is condensed and cooled. Light and heavy oil
fractions may be handled separately. A separator removes any remaining water
vapor. The product is filtered. The characteristics of tire-derived oil are
mentioned below.

5. Solid tire-derived char is cooled, typically using a water -cooled stage. The
product may be sized and screened to remove fiber. A magnetic separation
stage captures magnetic materials remaining in the char. washing the char and
further size reducing it produces the carbon black product. The characteristics
of tire-derived char and carbon black are mentioned below.

6. Tire-derived gas maintains operating pressure in the system and provides he at

to the system. Vented gases pass through a pollution control train, which may
include a gas flare. The characteristics of tire-derived gas are mentioned below.

7. Gas can further treated for power generation. It is passes through venturi
scrubber to removed particulate matter from gas and then it is passes through
water cooled condenser which can help us to bring down the temperature of
tire-derived gas and cracking of tar from it. Further it is passes through various
filters containing wood waste and sa w dust waste to remove %moisture from
gas and finally cleaned through fabric filter. Now our Gas is ultra clean and can
 directly feed to Gas Driven Generating Set. But for continuous operation of
generator we proposed low pressure vessel for the storage o f gas. Through this
storage power generation can be done for 24 hours irrespective of gas
production rate through pyrolysis of waste tires.

8. Steel shreds are baled for shipment. Separated fibers, when recovery is
practical, are baled for shipment. Often, however, fibers are disposed as waste.

OPERATING CONDITIONS AND PRODUCTS

This section of the report summarizes the operating data for tire pyrolysis projects,
and describes the products of their operations. The section presents operating
pressures and temperatures for various processes and the predominant products
reclaimed by the process. Where data were available, we report historic periods of
operation, including startup and shutdown schedules. The section summarizes
operating schedules for planned facilities. The section includes a summary of the
requirements for startup, shutdown, maintenance, and estimated availability.

Ascent Industries developer of waste pyrolysis systems describes the following

products of pyrolysis and gas cleaning:

1. Solids (i.e., tire-derived char or tire- derived carbon black & steel + fiber),
2. Synthesis gas,
3. Liquid (furnace oil, fuel oil, blended LDO, or Naphtha)

Typically however, the tire pyrolysis industry describes the products it produces as a
solid (either tire-derived char or tire-derived carbon black), a liquid (oil, often
including a naphtha fraction), a gas, steel, and fibers. Wastes from the processes are
as below.

Temperature and Pressure

We stated that reactor temperature is one key determinant of overall system

performance. Projects may be compared on the basis of reported steady -state
operating temperature in the pyrolysis vessel. The range of ope rating temperatures
for the facility reporting full-scale pyrolysis projects is 250° - 500°C. To a large
extent, reactor temperature determines the yield of solid, gas, and liquid pyrolysis
products. Over the range of 250° - 500°C, the production of gas increases from 0 - 6
percent by weight, while the quantity of oil and solid fractions are inversely related.
Between approximately 400° and 600°C, the mass fraction of the prod ucts is
relatively stable. Between 500° and 800°C, gas production increases from 6 - 31
percent, while over the same range, solid and oil fractions are inversely related. Thus,
at higher temperatures, more of the organic content of the tires is converted to the
gaseous or liquid phase.

Following Table presents operating temperature and pressure data and reports the
corresponding product yields for pyrolysis system.
Safety
As shown above the pyrolysis system is working on ambient pressure so it is
safe to operate compare to high pressure blasting and other issues.

Energy Requirements
Green Celsiu s r eports that the pyrolysis process produces an excess of energy.
Ascent Industries that the combustion of tire-derived gas provides sufficient
heat to drive the reaction. The use of supplemental fuel – Scrap wood - is
limited to the startup period. The electrical usage of systems is estimated to
12.8 kWh/ton of feedstock, based on survey responses.

The heat required to sustain the pyrolysis reaction appears to be between

approximately 630 and 1,025 Btu/lb of feedstock, based on survey responses.

Heating Rate
For a given temperature, th e heating rate (°C/minute) has a minor effect on
the yield. In general, the faster the feedstock is heated to a given temperature,
the less tire -derived char and the more oil and gas that is produced. Under
these conditions, higher gas yields are achieved at lower temperatures. Also, at
each heating rate, as temperature is increased, the greater the production of
benzene, pentane-2, and methanol fractions, and the less the production of
pentane-1 and
ethanol fractions.

At a given temperature, the heating value of the gas increases with the heating
rate. The surface area of the solid product increases as heating rate or
temperature increases.

By-Products after Pyrolysis

o Oil

The mean ultimate analysis of pyrolytic oils is reported in following table. Also,
the mean heating value of oil is also provided. The ultimate analysis indicates
an oil product well within the range of that of a fuel oil refined from crude oil.
As per given below comparison.
o Char and Carbon Black

A solid product termed tire-derived char or tire-derived carbon char is produced

by most Pyrolysis processes that use tires or other solid organic feedstock. The
solid product can be further processed to enhance specific characteristics and
to meet specifications for carbon black, or can be marketed directly, Virgin
carbon black can reportedly be produced more economically and with better
quality control than carbon black from tire char.

The proximate and ultimate analyses of tire-derived char and tire-derived

carbon black are provided in Table . The mean concentrations of chlorine and
the moisture content of the solid product are also indicated. The data in the
table include the mean heating value for the solid product, which is within the
heating value range of coal. However, the mean sulfur content (i.e., 2.36
percent) would not permit its substitution for a low sulfur coal (typically less
than 1 percent sulfur).

Physical Property of Carbon Derived Char / Carbon Black

o Gas
Little information is available on the composition of Pyrolytic gas. Because most
systems consume some of the gas for energy and flare the excess, it is likely
that little attention has been paid by Green Celsiu s to characterize
composition of the gas. The ultimate analysis value of a
single pyrolytic gas product is reported in Table . Also, the heating value of the
gas is provided. The carbon content of the tire-derived gas is higher than that
expected for most natural gas (i.e.,85.76 percent vs. approximately 70 - 75
percent), whereas the hydrogen content is lower (14.24 vs. 23Percent).

o Steel

Steel scrap extracted from the feedstock of the tire PGL process contains
carbon and fiber contaminants but is usually considered a fairly clean scrap
iron ready to be marketed.

Tyres contain steel wires and the amount ranges from 10% 15% of the total
tyre weight. All of the steel present in the tyre can be detached after the
pyrolysis recycling process is completed.

Features of the plant

100% waste tire recycling is achieved (no churn left after the process).
No chemical ingredients are used in process (environment friendly).
During and after the process; no soil, water or air pollution is observed.
Creates economically valuable products out of waste (all of the products are
industrial raw materials that have a market value).
The most cost-effective waste tire recycling technology in the world.
Raw material (waste tire) is cheap and easy to provide.
Each recycled ton of tire preserves 10 tons of CO2 that is a major greenhouse
gas. The process can be applied to all rubber based materials. The system
creates an alternative source of energy to replace petroleum products and
natural
ga s.
System gives the opportunity to governments and local administrations to deal
with the wastetire problem to a great extent. System prevents the spread of
diseases caused by waste tires. We deliver plants with capacities of 10 ton /day
and its multiples. The process of Pyrolysis has duration of 4 to 12 hours,
depending on the amount and type of
tire (car tire, truck tire, etc.). During the process different vacuum values are
applied in pre - determined temperatures and in different phases different
gases are obtained and the condensed gas is stored as fuel-oil in tanks.
