POWER FOR THE FUTURE
Once the system is producing, within 6 hours our facility is generating our own power. Depending upon regional location and local utility and state requirements, the Scrap Rubber 2 Oil Co-generators have the ability to sell electricity back to the grid.
Renewable Fuels for Your Municipality
Scrap Rubber to Oil’s (SR2O) facilities and our technology offer an environmentally friendly method to recycle scrap tires with very attractive economic returns.
Our pyrolysis technology is scalable with an initial capacity of approximately 200 tons per day–7.4 million passenger tires per year. Based upon a 90% uptime, a base set of equipment produces the following estimated materials:
Approximately 1.3 gallons of oil per tire to an ASTM 2892 test specification.
This would be equivalent to approximately 8.6 million gallons of oil per year.
Based on feedstock agreements, approximately 8% to 11% of a tire’s weight would be steel. This would create approximately 160 to 220 lbs of high quality steel per ton of feedstock.
An estimated 6.4lbs of a commodity grade carbon, milled to a 325 mesh, is recovered from a 20 lb passenger tire. This would be equivalent to approximately 21,300 tons of carbon per year at 90% up-time.
Additional refining and scrubbing of the carbon powder, results in enhanced product quality and improves the profitability for the carbon. Typical Markets that can be serviced with the carbon could be activated carbon for filtration, printer ink and toner, rubberized automotive products, as well as nanotechnology and aerospace fields.
The highly efficient and effective SR2O process allows the generation of electricity that exceeds the plant requirements. This is in addition to the non-condensable gases generated in the process that is used as fuel to maintain the operation of the pyrolysis units. This reduces the overall utility costs for the ongoing operations of the facility.
Scrap tires are an immense problem. Our Municipal Tire recycling solution processes over 240 tons of scrap tires per day, in a clean controlled environment.
Our proven, continuous feed system is now in its 3rd generation design with advanced refining enhancements that produce advanced renewable fuels and high quality activated carbons used for water purification and reducing air emissions.
Proper evaluation of feedstock and supply is critical in the emerging biofuels industry. There are key processing parameters that determine the appropriate equipment and configuration for each unique feedstock.
The comprehensive approach that has been taken to maximize yields and product quality have allowed SR2O to create drop-in ready fuels from several types of biomass. With a properly managed feedstock supply, fuels can be produced and sold in markets at equivalent pricing to petroleum based fuels.
Our approach to soil reclamation or remediation and hydrocarbon recovery is developed for each specific site.
Our processes and flexible equipment configurations typically incinerate toxic or hazardous materials after any entrained valuable hydrocarbon material is extracted.
Examples of extractable materials are oils, asphaltenes and other valuable hydrocarbons that are further processed to maximize the market value of the final products.
