Tyre reception & inspection
End-of-life tyres are received, inspected and recorded. Consistent, traceable feedstock is the foundation of consistent outputs — unsuitable material is rejected at the gate, not discovered in the process.
Our Technology
From tyre to resources,
step by considered step.
Pyrolysis breaks tyres down with heat in the absence of oxygen — not by burning them. Below is the proposed process at a high level: what happens at each stage, and what it is designed to recover.
A note on detail: this page describes the proposed process conceptually.
Operating parameters, equipment selection, yields and emissions performance will only be
published once they are fixed by the final engineering design and validated.
Process overview
Stage by Stage
What happens, and why
Preparation
Tyres are sorted and prepared for the reactor in the form the final process design requires. Where the design calls for it, steel bead wire may be separated at this stage; the remainder is separated after conversion.
Thermal conversion
The prepared material is heated in a sealed, oxygen-free reactor. Without oxygen it cannot burn; instead, the rubber decomposes into vapours, gases and a solid carbon-rich residue, while the embedded steel is freed intact.
Separation & condensation
Vapours are cooled and condensed into liquid oil. Solids are separated into recovered carbon black and steel. How process gas is handled and utilised will be defined by the final design.
Handling & storage of outputs
Each potential output is handled and stored according to its nature, ready for quality assessment. Specifications and commercial availability will follow validation — they are not claimed in advance.
Environmental control
Emissions and environmental controls will be specified by the verified engineering design and the applicable approval process. We will publish what the design commits to — when it commits to it — rather than general assurances now.
Conceptual vs. Validated
Honest engineering, in the open
Industrial projects earn trust by sequencing claims after evidence. Ours will too:
- Conceptual today: the stage flow above, potential output streams, indicative future scale.
- To be validated: reactor design and parameters, yields, product specifications, emissions performance.
- Published when proven: datasheets and performance figures will appear on the Materials page only with documentation behind them.
This page is educational. It is not an operating procedure and must not be used as one.
