Vehicle tires will only end up in
landfills and objects made of rubber is
causing serious environmental problems. Every year
around the world more than one billion vehicle tires discarded. Tire
production in Indonesia also increased from year to year. Along with
that, then the waste tires are not used
in the environment is increasing.
Most people prefer to throw it away than to
recycle more useful results. Experts often
confused with the environmental problems caused by tires
that are not easily biodegradable material.
Conditions of use of energy is still dominated
by fossil fuels
should be reduced slowly and gradually replaced by
renewable energy. According to Minister of Energy and Mineral
Resources Darwin Zahedy Saleh , oil in Indonesia
is expected to expire within the next 23 years and
can not be updated. Petroleum is
not used to meet
energy needs but also
as a raw material
of chemical industry products such as plastics
and tires.
Abundant
amount of used tires that can be recycled by
thermal decomposition using pyrolysis to
produce a primary product of petroleum that can
be used as a source of energy or raw materials of many chemical industries. Other products
in the form of carbon black will be widely used for coloring tires, syngas
also for the application of energy or production of
electricity and steel wire
as raw material for metal casting.
Processing
of used
tires do not just simply solve
the waste problem but also be economically advantageous. Great added value will
be obtained when the product processing
scrap tires have high
economic value, a commodity that is always needed by communities and sustainable. The use of continuous pyrolysis technology
is the right choice for the processing of scrap tires to produce petroleum products (crude oil), black
carbon, syngas and
steel wire, all of which have added great
value and is the raw
material of various industries.
Every 60 tonnes of scrap tires are processed in the pyrolysis can produce:
-18 000 liters of oil
-18 000 kg of carbon black
-6600 Kg of steel wire
-17,400 Kg syngas (synthetic gas)
-18 000 liters of oil
-18 000 kg of carbon black
-6600 Kg of steel wire
-17,400 Kg syngas (synthetic gas)
Scrap
tires are
initially reduced size in about 1 inch and then go into
the pyrolysis unit as the unit of production. A carbon black product, syngas, and
crude oil will come
out on the pyrolysis unit outlet.
Syngas can be directly used for electricity
generation using gas engine powerplant (gas
generator), the capacity
of 6o tons / day of INPUT will produce about 1 MW
of electricity. While carbon black products
of the pyrolysis unit
will be passed in a magnetic separator for
the separation of steel wire.
For
many industries
that are currently utilizing scrap tires as a fuel by
burning it directly, so it is
better to use the pyrolysis
unit to extract
the energy content in scrap tires. Direct combustion of scrap tires will cause a major environmental
pollution and harm.
It also does not provide
much added value. Continuous pyrolysis will
be able to extract the energy
content of scrap tires effectively and efficiently,
such as syngas produced
from pyrolysis can be used as an energy source, because in that place no
longer require an
additional power supply, or
use the crude oil produced for the same purpose .
