End of life tyre to be recovered
Finland based Enviro Tire has recently taken delivery of the first of five pyrolysis reactors at their tyre recycling facility in Uddevalla which will enable the company to recover carbon black, oil and steel from 34,500 tons of end of life tyres a year.
The reactors are among the facility’s most central equipment and where the pyrolysis process will take place. Fredrik Emilson, CEO of Enviro says “The reactors are the heart of Enviro’s leading pyrolysis technology, and the fact that they are now being installed means that we are taking a significant and important step in completing the first full-scale recycling facility”.
In addition to the first reactor being delivered to the site, the conveyor belt for tire shreds has also been installed, connecting the storage area for tyre shreds from discarded tires with the process hall where the reactors are located. The shredded tires, which are sourced externally and constitute the raw material for Enviro’s recycling process, will be fed into the reactors through the conveyor belt.
Mr Emilson adds, “The facility is designed to handle an incoming material flow of 34,500 tons of tires per year, and seeing a central part of that logistics system come into place means that we are now truly connecting the process and beginning to see the entire flow take shape at the site,”
Throughout the summer, there has been intense activity at the site outside Uddevalla, where Enviro is constructing the first full-scale recycling facility in collaboration with the joint venture company Infiniteria.
The work is in an intensive phase, with equipment deliveries and installations proceeding in parallel with the completion of the factory premises themselves. Enviro is a co-owner of Infiniteria, which, through a licensing agreement, has the right to use Enviro’s patented pyrolysis technology within Europe.
