Tire Pyrolysis Oil
Tire pyrolysis is a thermal recycling process that converts end-of-life tires into valuable industrial products through decomposition in an oxygen-free environment. From this process, three primary outputs are generated: Tire Pyrolysis Oil (TPO), Recovered Carbon Black (rCB), and Recovered Steel. Each product has distinct industrial value and plays an important role in the circular economy.
Description:
Tire Pyrolysis Oil (TPO) is a liquid fuel derived from the thermal decomposition of end-of-life tires in an oxygen-free environment. Through the pyrolysis process, complex hydrocarbons in rubber are broken down into valuable fuel fractions.
Key Characteristics:
Dark brown to black liquid
High calorific value (comparable to conventional furnace oil)
- Can be further refined into diesel-like products
Applications:
Industrial furnace fuel
Boiler fuel
Power generation
Feedstock for refinery upgrading
Alternative marine fuel (after treatment)
TPO represents a circular energy solution by converting waste tires into reusable fuel energy.
Description:
Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) is a solid carbon-rich material produced during the pyrolysis of scrap tires. It is the residual char left after volatile components are extracted as oil and gas.
Key Characteristics:
Fine black powder or pelletized form
High carbon content
Reinforcing properties similar to virgin carbon black (depending on processing quality)
Requires grinding and upgrading for higher-grade applications
Applications:
Rubber manufacturing (partial replacement of virgin carbon black)
Plastic masterbatch
Asphalt modification
Pigments and coatings
Industrial fillers
rCB contributes to sustainability by reducing dependency on fossil-based virgin carbon black.
Description:
Recovered Steel is the metallic reinforcement extracted from tires during the pyrolysis and shredding process. Tires typically contain 10–15% high-tensile steel wire used for structural strength.
Key Characteristics:
High-strength steel wire
Magnetically separated from char residue
Recyclable as scrap metal
High melting efficiency
Applications:
Steel mills (re-melting)
Construction materials
Reinforcement wire products
General scrap metal recycling
Recovered steel closes the material loop by returning valuable metal back into industrial production.
