Advanced Pyrolysis Systems - Tires

New tires are currently manufactured at a rate of 1,000 million per year (8 million tons per year of automobile tires), and 
most available figures indicate that used tires are scrapped in similarly high numbers.  Therefore, tires present  a major 
waste problem.  A number of techniques are presently being utilized to manage the waste problem by prolonging the 
useful life of tires or by turning scrap tires into recyclable products, useful raw materials or energy.  To date, the current 
solutions have created more of a difficulty to the environment and cost to businesses than first anticipated.

These techniques include:

        Tire Retreading - Extending the tire life.

        Tire Baling - For civil works, crash barriers, and other structures.

        Shredding and crumbling - For incorporation into road surfaces, play surfaces, and other rubber based products.

        Thermal Processing - To recover energy, and generate raw materials such as char and oil.

IES can effectively and economically produce clean, renewable energy and carbon char from tires.  The recovered steel and carbon char produced from the IES system make this a viable option for tire recycling.  The lack of harmful emissions only adds to the positive benefits of the IES Advanced Pyrolytic System.
