Pyrum thermolysis is a process in which the Thermal decomposition of organic substances or rubber and plastic waste in the absence of oxygen. The process enables precise temperature and pressure control, which minimises the risks during the process. thermolysis process minimised (spark-free and airtight) and raw materials of a consistently high quality guaranteed. These process conditions produce vapours that condense into oil at low temperatures, as well as permanent gas (gaseous hydrocarbon compounds) and coke.
A special feature of the patented process is that after starting up the system once with external energy, sufficient energy is generated by the extracted gas to enable the system to operate autonomously. A surplus of energy is even generated, which can be utilised as thermal or electrical energy. resold can be realised.
Pyrum technology can process the following waste and input materials:
The process can be used to generate the following products:
The environmentally friendly disposal of Rubber and plastic waste will play a significant role in the coming years, as the current disposal methods are highly detrimental to the environment. The disposal of used tyres in cement plants, for example, is to be reduced by 2025. forbidden become more sustainable. Tyre manufacturers such as Michelin also aim to produce the majority of their tyres from recycled raw materials in the future.
In this respect, the innovative recycling process used is particularly well suited to serve as an example of a future-orientated waste management concept. It combines Economic and ecological requirements to a waste concept with low investment and operating costs, serves the recovery of raw materials and substitutes fossil fuels.
The thermolysis recycling process used here involves multiple stages.
Power generation for main and auxiliary units
Refinement of intermediate products: heat, oil and coke e.g.:
The high economic efficiency and sustainability of the patented Pyrum thermolysis process ensures that the increasingly acute problems in the recycling sector that exist in almost all industrialised nations can be solved in a technically flawless, environmentally friendly and profitable manner. In principle, this represents a secure and high-yield investment with a high return. ROI of up to 25% represent.
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).
The used tyres are first shredded. Fabric fibres and Steel wire are filtered out and fed into the industrial production cycle.
Pyrum steel wire: sustainable raw material for the steel industry
Up to 1 tonne of waste tyres can be used to produce 250 kg of 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
Up to 1 tonne of waste tyres can be used to produce 100 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
Up to 1 tonne of waste tyres can be used to produce 700 kilograms 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 TTO (ThermoTireOil®): Sustainable raw material for the chemical industry
The vapours generated during pyrum thermolysis are condensed and stored in Permanent gas and TTO(ThermoTireOil®) separated. Pyrum TTO 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 TTO (ThermoTireOil®) is used, for example, in combination with biomethane as a raw material in the production of virgin plastics for Mercedes-Benz vehicle components.
Pyrum TTO (ThermoTireOil®) 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 TTO (ThermoTireOil)®)
The Chemicals group BASF has invested in Pyrum Innovations AG as part of the ChemCycling™ project. With the REACH-certified TTO (ThermoTireOil), BASF secures®) 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 using the Pyrum thermolysis process can be used unground, with a particle size of up to 4 mm, as a soil improver, substitute fuel or filler. However, the majority of Pyrum thermolysis coke is used in the production of TTB (ThermoTireBlack®).
Pyrum TTB (ThermoTireBlack®): The raw material for new tyres
Through further processing in a grinding plant, Pyrum produces high-quality TTB (ThermoTireBlack®), which is an increasingly sought-after raw material in the tyre industry for the production of sustainable new tyres. This sustainably closes the material cycle. Pyrum TTB (ThermoTireBlack®) can be supplied in ground form in sizes from 7–36 µm.
The TTB (ThermoTireBlack®) extracted 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 TTB (ThermoTireBlack®) is to be used for Continental’s tyre production.
Efficient energy generation from process gas
A key feature of gas turbine power generation is the utilisation of the gas produced in the process to generate electricity directly. After the initial start-up of the plant with external energy, the gas obtained can be continuously converted into electricity using gas turbines to provide electrical energy. This enables largely energy self-sufficient operation. A key advantage of this technology is the extraction of process heat to reduce the need for natural gas. This technology combines high efficiency with sustainable resource utilisation and helps to reduce external energy requirements.
