Pyrolysis is defined as a chemical decomposition of Organic materials by heating in the absence of Oxygen or any other reagents. Simply put this the heating up of raw materials in a oxygen free kiln that produces vapour that which condenses into a liquid that is a highly flammable liquid. This crude oil is then put through several other refinement proceses to achieve a Fuel that is quite similar to Diesel thus the name Pyrolysis Oil (Tyre Oil).

This heating process differs into two categories based on the raw materials used. We at Global Power Solutions focus mainly on highly non biodegradable items such as plastics and rubber. Since the respective materials have different hydrocarbon structures they tend to output different fuels thus we have two individual process fro the two. Plastic and rubber both undergo the pyrolysis process in separate closed kilns that resilt in bio oil that is could be substituted for diesel most of the time.

Tyre Pyrolysis is quite the champion since it has two major bi products of Carbon Black and Steel. These have their own uses and a separate market.

Although easily describing the process above seemed simple the process is not as a matter of fact nowhere near simple. The furnaces used to heat up the substance must be air proof thus preventing the release of dioxins. The furnaces must heat upto atleast 400’C.

As the oil comes to being, the remaining solids after tire pyrolysis are a black substance called “Carbon Black” and the steel rim of tyres. The black substance is refined and used as a substitute for Charcoal and the steel is made into other steel products.
