Scrap Tire Treatment: Promoting a Sustainable Green Industry Chain

Over 1 billion scrap tires are generated worldwide each year. scrap tire treatment has long been a challenging issue in environmental protection because tires are composed of multiple materials such as rubber, steel wires, and fibers, making them a difficult form of “black pollution” that is hard to degrade. Traditional methods of scrap tire disposal mainly rely on land-filling and incineration, which not only cause environmental pollution but also fail to realize resource utilization of scrap tires. The emergence of continuous tire pyrolysis equipment provides a new solution for efficient and environmentally friendly tire treatment.

Niutech's independently developed industrial continuous scrap tire intelligent pyrolysis equipment employs advanced continuous pyrolysis technology specifically designed for high-efficiency disposal of scrap tires and waste rubber. This tire pyrolysis equipment utilizes innovative waste heat recycling technology and non-condensable combustible gas purification systems, significantly reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, ensuring compliance with international environmental standards such as the EU EEA and US EPA. The entire scrap tire treatment process occurs in a pollution-free condition, achieving reduction, harmlessness, and resource utilization, truly reaching the goal of tiered recycling of scrap tires and setting a new benchmark for the industry.

Tire pyrolysis oil, as an important product of scrap tire pyrolysis, has the advantages of low viscosity and high calorific value, and is widely applied in energy supply, industrial fuel, and chemical raw materials. Its rich light fractions make tire pyrolysis oil a vital green energy source, providing economic value for the recycling of scrap tires. Meanwhile, the carbon black produced during pyrolysis is of high quality and has high application value, being widely used in new tire manufacturing, rubber products, inks, and other industries. Additionally, the steel wire generated during pyrolysis can be used as a metal abrasive or as a foundational material for steel manufacturing. This allows scrap tires to generate multiple applications, including tire pyrolysis oil and high-value carbon black.

Currently, the scrap tire pyrolysis equipment available on the market mainly includes batch and continuous types. Compared to the inefficient, high-energy-consuming, and unstable batch equipment, continuous pyrolysis devices have significant advantages: continuous operation, energy saving, environmental protection, longer lifespan, and higher safety. These continuous tire pyrolysis units solve many of the drawbacks of traditional equipment, achieving efficient scrap tire processing and stable pyrolysis oil output, better meeting the demands of large-scale scrap tire disposal.

Niutech is at the forefront of scrap tire treatment technology, not only obtaining international recognition for its continuous pyrolysis equipment but also providing complete full-chain solutions for scrap tire disposal. Its tire pyrolysis units have been successfully exported to multiple countries and regions, including the United States, South Korea, and the United Kingdom, promoting green scrap tire treatment globally. The company is committed to continuous innovation, improving waste rubber pyrolysis technology, and advancing the high-value utilization of pyrolysis oil, with the future goal of building a sustainable green industry chain, promoting circular economy development, and contributing more to environmental protection.
