Pyrum Innovations AG is a forward-looking recycling and plant engineering company based in Dillingen/Saar (Germany).
Based on our globally patented, unique Thermolysis process we develop, build and operate innovative recycling plants. These enable us to recover high-quality raw materials from used tyres, rubber and plastic waste in an environmentally friendly way and return them to the market. material cycle feed. The secondary raw materials obtained include Thermolysis oil with REACH certification and recovered Carbon Black (rCB).
The innovative thermolysis recycling systems are marketed worldwide and supplied to Pyrum’s contract partners.
In September 2020, BASF as part of their ChemCyclingTM-project in Pyrum Innovations AG and guarantees the purchase of the product both in its own plants and in the plants of the Contractual partner produced thermolysis oil.

More information
Pyrum Innovations AG was founded back in 2008, the brainchild of four friends, and was initially based out of a 9 m² garden shed. Today we are one of the leading thermolysis companies with worldwide patents.
Since the company was founded, we have developed, planned and built everything ourselves – from our own laboratory to the large industrial recycling plant. We have already overcome the biggest hurdles on our way to becoming the global market leader.
The Pyrum story shows that nothing is impossible as long as you believe in yourself and your cause. We have that Thermolysis process to the surprise of many doubters, has been successfully realised on an industrial scale – true to the motto: “Everyone said it was impossible, then someone who didn’t know that came along and just did it.’
We will remain true to our values in the future, think outside the box and develop new solutions in order to make a contribution to improving the Solving the world’s waste and environmental problems.

Environmentally friendly tyre recycling
New raw materials are obtained from old tyres using the patented pyrum thermolysis process: In addition to steel wire and fabric fibres, mainly Oil, gas and carbon – energy self-sufficient and environmentally friendly. Compared to the used tyre disposal mix in Germany, this means that 72 % CO2 saved (according to the Fraunhofer UMSICHT study 2022).
Shredding three tonnes of used tyres per hour
The used tyres are first shredded. The Pyrum plant in Dillingen has a capacity of three tonnes of used tyres per hour.
Fabric fibres and Steel wire are filtered out and added to the
production cycle of the industry.
Pyrum steel wire: sustainable raw material for the steel industry
3 tonnes of used tyres are turned into up to 750 kg Pyrum steel wire filtered out. By post-treatment of the steel wire, Pyrum achieves a Purity of over 96 per cent. The wire can be purchased at the current mixed steel scrap price.
Pyrum fabric fibres: Sustainable raw material for the construction industry
Three tonnes of used tyres are turned into up to 300 kg Pyrum tissue fibres filtered out. These are used as a valuable secondary raw material for the production of new Insulation material for the construction industry.
Pyrum rubber granulate: the material for top recycled products
The rubber granulate produced using the pyrum thermolysis process is a valuable and sought-after secondary raw material for the production of sustainable recycled products that meets the highest standards. The granulate is available in four different grain sizes from 1 to 6 mm for different applications and almost every customer requirement.
Pyrum thermolysis: Sustainable raw materials from tyre rubber
Three tonnes of used tyres are turned into up to 2,100 kg Rubber filtered out. The granulated rubber (grain size 12 mm) is fed to the thermolysis process in the patented Pyrum vertical reactor. In the process, the rubber is Steam and Solid (coke) separated. In the process, sufficient Energy for the self-sufficient operation of the system.
With pyrum thermolysis, in addition to Exhaust and heat energy valuable Raw materials for the sustainable manufacture of new products:
Pyrum thermolysis oil: Sustainable raw material for the chemical industry
The vapours generated during pyrum thermolysis are condensed and stored in Permanent gas and Thermolysis oil separated. Pyrum thermolysis oil is a unique crude oil that is produced to the highest quality and consistent grade.
The REACH-certified recycled oil is used as a raw material in various industries: chemical industry, refineries, carbon black production (CB) etc.
Pyrum thermolysis oil is used, for example, in combination with biomethane as a raw material in the production of virgin plastics for Mercedes-Benz vehicle components.
Pyrum thermolysis oil is used, for example, as a raw material for the production of polyamide for Outdoor clothing from the VAUDE brand used.
BASF relies on pyrum thermolysis oil
The Chemicals group BASF has invested in Pyrum Innovations AG as part of the ChemCycling™ project. With the REACH-certified thermolysis oil, BASF is securing a Pioneering source of raw materials and at the same time improves its own carbon footprint. BASF is already using the oil at its Ludwigshafen site for new plastics for the production of Vehicle components from Mercedes-Benz.
Pyrum thermolysis permanent gas: energy self-sufficient operation
A special feature of the patented Pyrum thermolysis process is that after starting up the system once with external energy, sufficient energy is generated by the gas obtained in the condensation process to enable the system to operate independently. A surplus of energy is even generated, which can be sold on as thermal or electrical energy.
Pyrum thermolysis coke (carbon black): High-tech raw material
The coke produced in the pyrum thermolysis process can be used unground, with a grain size of up to 4 mm, as a soil improver, substitute fuel or filler. However, a large proportion of the pyrum thermolysis coke is used for the production of recovered carbon black (rCB).
Pyrum-recovered Carbon Black (rCB): The raw material for new tyres
Through further processing in a grinding plant, Pyrum produces high-quality recovered carbon black (rCB), which is an increasingly sought-after raw material in the tyre industry for the production of sustainable new tyres. This closes the material cycle sustainably. Pyrum-recovered Carbon Black (rCB) can be supplied in ground form in sizes from 7–36 µm.
The recovered carbon black (rCB) obtained from the rubber of old bicycle tyres using pyrum thermolysis is fed back into the manufacturing process for new bicycle tyres.
In the medium term, the particularly high-quality pyrum carbon black (rCB) is to be used for Continental’s tyre production.
