Latest Situation
Various machine and plant manufacturers have developed tyre shredding systems that allow the extraction of pure tyre rubber substrate. With such systems, large quantities of used tyres can be processed quickly and inexpensively.
Current Problem
Increasingly, the large volumes cannot be processed any more in recycling products and combustion, the method practised up to now, is limited by law. Therefore, there is an urgent need to search for innovative solutions to the problem.
AGT-Solution
Conversion is the optimum solution for the energetic utilisation of tyre granulates. As part of the process of converting tyre granulate into energy, the usable components are released, extracted, temporarily stored and then recombined in such a way that the released energy content is available in a synthesis strong gas.
In the hermetically sealed process, which is completely emission-free, the organic valuable components from the benzene and butane derivatives can be processed into a high-efficiency gas comparable to natural gas, which can then be converted into electricity in a gas and steam turbine combination with a high degree of efficiency.
Benefit
The conversion of used tyre granulate makes it possible to convert even large quantities of shredded tyre material into electricity economically.
