Pyrolysis

Pyrolysis is a technique often confused with incineration. Both techniques work with high temperatures but the main difference is that pyrolysis works without oxygen being present. The lack of oxygen causes the base material to decompose and not combust (burn). Using the link below, more extensive information on pyrolysis can be found:

When browsing the internet (YouTube), numerous examples of (tyre) pyrolysis units can be found.
What virtually all of them have in common are:

1. Batch-type processing and/or
2. Continuous Rotary kiln process. However not possible to seal this unit properly resulting in undesirable atmospheric emissions or – even worse – ingress of oxygen in the retort which may cause fire and/or explosion.

Our team has been working for over 10 years to develop the continuous pyrolysis technique resulting in units capable of handling multiple types of feedstock:

• Tyres
• Frag (all soft components from shredded cars)
• Plastics
• Wood and woodchips
• Medical waste

Our units are very compact and have been designed that all components can be transported in 20’ and 40’ containers to facilitate transport overseas. Any unit will be turn-key delivered within 8 months of ordering.
