What are the uses of oil derived from tire pyrolysis?
2 Answers
Tire-derived oil has a high calorific value and can directly replace fuel for industrial or boiler heating purposes, such as in cement plants, steel mills, glass factories, etc. It can also be refined into diesel for use in diesel power plants, heavy machinery, and agricultural equipment. Below is relevant information about tires: The impact of tire size on vehicles: Tire size affects a car's acceleration, stability, and fuel consumption. There is a complex relationship between tire size and driving speed. Small-displacement vehicles may struggle to move if fitted with oversized tires due to insufficient power, while large-displacement vehicles may have their power output restricted by overly small tires, affecting speed. Bigger and wider tires are not necessarily better. When driving on rough or bumpy roads or passing over speed bumps, tires are prone to friction and interference with the wheel arches. The functions of tires: Transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force to enable vehicle operation; support vehicle load; reduce and absorb vibrations and impact forces during driving to avoid severe vibrations that could damage automotive components.
I have worked in energy management at a factory, where the oil derived from tire pyrolysis is primarily used for combustion to heat boilers or industrial kilns. It offers high calorific value and is economical, significantly cheaper than diesel. In practical applications, we utilize it in steel or cement production, effectively reducing fuel costs by approximately 30%. Safety precautions are essential, such as addressing impurities in the oil that can cause blockages, and regularly cleaning equipment to prevent hazards. In the long run, it replaces traditional fuels, reducing carbon emissions and aligning with environmental trends. Enterprises across various regions are promoting its use due to its simplicity and practicality. There is also potential for its application in power generation systems, enabling full utilization of waste and truly turning waste into treasure. Engineering professionals often commend its efficiency and energy-saving benefits in daily discussions.
