Are you aware that you can actually fuel your car of a diesel
fuel made out of waste tires? A good disposal method may bring back the end of
life of tires to a reasonable income generating waste tire recycling business. You
can obtain about 45 to 50% fuel oil, 10 to 15% steel wire, 30 to 35% carbon
black, and 5 to 8% flammable gas. To address the increasing problem of scrap
tire stockpiling, the Eco Grid Energyuses the Eco Grid Recycler to convert waste tires and plastic into diesel fuel through
a thermochemical decomposition at elevated temperatures. The fuel could be used
for vehicle fuel as well as fuel to power generators that feed electricity back
into the grid. You can know more about this amazing scrap recycling if you
visit the Eco Grid Energy website for more information.
Pyrolysis
Pyrolysis is the process of thermally decomposing organic
substances into less complex molecules. Pyrolysis of tires has high capital investment
and is extremely complex and costly to build. The pyrolysis produces three main
components, namely the solid, liquid, and gas. The solid phase consists of at
least 40% weight of the initial sample, which is mostly carbon black and
mineral matter. The gas phase consists of carbon dioxide and light
hydrocarbons, which are capable of providing the energy requirement of the
pyrolysis process itself. The process can produce hydrogen and oil with less
sulphur content than were present in the original tire. The oil can be obtained
using the coal liquefaction solvent, which involves heating the coal and
hydrogen gas to be able to convert it into a liquid fuel. Pyrolysis is the
cheapest source of hydrogen. The process synthesizes the hydrogen gas and
produces gas, oil, and alsphaltenes. The yield and characteristics of the
product largely depend on the feedstock and operating conditions. Visit us for

Hazards of scrap tires – Fire and environmental hazards
- Tires are made of combustible compounds that include carbon, oil, benzene, toluene, rubber, and sulfur. Tires are made to absorb the heat generated from friction and road contact. This makes them difficult to ignite. However, when ignited, they are difficult to extinguish. The stored tire heat when extinguish from open flame to a smoldering stage still has the capability to re-ignite the tire.
- For the standing water in between tires, it can be used by mosquitoes as a breeding ground.
- Stockpiles are also seen as excellent habitat for rodents.
