Project for:
Pyrolysis plant installed
on-board of an ocean - going vessel
1 - FOREWORD
Since 1997 it’s 100% operative a new treatment plant able to treate by
pyrolysis waste-tyres.
Plant able to treate 100 Kg/h of waste-tyres is located in south Italy,
fully certified and tested by the Italian Authority.
Developed technology was recognized as innovative by the
Italian Governmental Authority, local Government technical commission
recognized to inventor a soft loan to help experimental activity.
Technology is now available and patented.
Plant fulfils all European standard and environmental parameters.
2 - THE GOAL
We intend to install two treatment plants on two Ro-Ro ocean-going
vessels offering the treatment service port-to-port to
interested waste-tyres Operators.
THI will manage the mobile plant installed on a vessel and able to treate 2 T./h of old-tyres waste.

BENEFICIAL ROLE FOUND FOR USED TIRES.
In an effort to turn the nation's piles of used tires into something
beneficial to the environment, a group of researchers is recycling the
tires into activated-carbon adsorbents for air quality control
applications.
"In the United States alone, more than 200 million tires are disposed
of annually," said Mark Rood, a University of Illinois professor of
environmental engineering.
"These waste tires can serve as an inexpensive and plentiful feedstock
for carbon adsorbents that have commercial value in gas
separation, storage and cleanup applications."
There are currently an estimated 3 billion waste tires stockpiled in
the United States.
Mounds of old tires can mar the landscape, collect rainwater that fosters
breeding sites for mosquitoes and ignite into long-lasting fires that
pollute the air.
The researchers from the University of Illinois and the Illinois
Geological Survey are tailoring the properties of tire-derived
activated carbons to help solve troublesome air-pollution issues.
Potential commercial applications of tire-derived activated carbons
include the removal of toxic pollutants from fossil-fuel-fired power
plants, storage of alternative fuels such as natural gas in vehicles
and the removal of volatile organic compounds from industrial gas streams.
To date, the researchers have determined that the tire-activated carbons
are comparable or superior to some commercial carbons.
"The next step is to produce enough quantities of tire-derived activated
carbon for pilot-scale testing to show that this material works under
actual industrial test conditions," said Massoud Rostam-Abadi,
an engineer at the university. "This is what we are doing now."
Activated carbon is commonly produced from carbonaceous materials
such as wood and coal.
With its high carbon content and plentiful supply, "tire rubber could
potentially serve as an ideal material for making low-cost adsorbents,"
said Rood.
"In addition, almost 70 percent of tire rubber is volatile material that
can be recovered as oils and gases and used as an energy source for
processing the tires."
