Continuous tyre pyrolysis plant: from project fit to acceptance

Use this sequence to turn a general equipment enquiry into a comparable technical brief. Model numbers, capacities, yields, utility demand and emission performance are not universal: they must be tied to a representative feed specification, a defined site and written acceptance conditions.

01

Project fit and operating model

Decision: Decide whether a continuous line fits the real feed supply and operating calendar better than a batch system.

Evidence to prepare
  • Annual tyre availability, delivery pattern and storage plan
  • Planned shifts, operating days, shutdown windows and staffing model
  • Documented continuous-versus-batch selection basis
02

Feedstock window and preparation

Decision: Define the tyre and rubber fractions the line must accept before selecting feeding or reactor equipment.

Evidence to prepare
  • Representative samples, tyre mix, contamination and moisture data
  • Steel removal strategy and required particle-size distribution
  • Shredder, screening, conveying and buffer-storage boundaries
03

Throughput and performance basis

Decision: Set the capacity basis and the conditions under which performance will be measured and accepted.

Evidence to prepare
  • Hourly feed rate, annual throughput and availability assumptions
  • Feed specification used for mass and energy balances
  • Guaranteed values, test duration, tolerances and exclusion conditions
04

Process configuration and battery limits

Decision: Map every included system and every interface the buyer must provide outside the equipment package.

Evidence to prepare
  • Process flow and equipment list from preparation through solids handling
  • Heating, condensation, non-condensable-gas and flue-gas treatment scope
  • Civil works, storage, packaging and downstream upgrading interfaces
05

Outputs and offtake specifications

Decision: Define saleable or usable specifications for every output instead of relying on generic yield percentages.

Evidence to prepare
  • Sampling and test methods for tyre-derived oil and recovered carbon material
  • Steel, gas, wastewater and residue handling requirements
  • Named offtake route, upgrading step and rejection criteria for each stream
06

Site, utilities and layout

Decision: Confirm that the proposed site can supply the utilities, access and space required by the complete line.

Evidence to prepare
  • Plot plan, logistics routes, storage volumes and maintenance clearances
  • Electrical load, cooling-water duty, fuel, nitrogen and compressed-air basis
  • Drainage, firewater, communications and local ambient design conditions
07

Safety, emissions and permitting

Decision: Translate local permit conditions into design features, monitoring points and acceptance tests.

Evidence to prepare
  • Applicable waste, air, water, fire, pressure-equipment and zoning rules
  • Hazard review, interlocks, shutdown logic and gas-leak response philosophy
  • Emission limits, sampling locations, test methods and responsible parties
08

Maintenance and lifecycle plan

Decision: Evaluate maintainability and expected operating cost across the planned service life, not only the initial equipment price.

Evidence to prepare
  • Cleaning and inspection intervals tied to the actual feedstock
  • Critical spares, wear parts, specialist tools and local service coverage
  • Planned downtime, training, remote support and obsolescence responsibilities
09

Commercial scope and acceptance

Decision: Make the proposal comparable by aligning scope, exclusions, schedule, warranties and acceptance criteria.

Evidence to prepare
  • Responsibility matrix for design, supply, installation and commissioning
  • Payment milestones linked to drawings, inspection, delivery and testing
  • Factory and site acceptance protocols, remedies and warranty triggers
10

RFQ input package

Decision: Issue one controlled project brief so every supplier prices the same technical basis.

Evidence to prepare
  • Feedstock data, site location, throughput basis and target outputs
  • Required battery limits, utilities, permit conditions and delivery boundary
  • Evidence register covering drawings, calculations, certificates and references

Procurement FAQ

Define the project before comparing a continuous tyre plant price

Use these answers to prepare a comparable RFQ and to identify which statements must be supported by feed testing, drawings and a written acceptance plan.

01What feed size and tyre preparation does a continuous line require?

There is no universal inlet size for every tyre stream or feeding system. Provide representative samples and define tyre type, size distribution, moisture, free steel, textile and other contamination. The proposal should state the accepted-feed envelope, test method and whether shredding, screening, wire removal, conveying and buffer storage are included.

02Can a continuous tyre pyrolysis plant run without shutdowns?

Continuous operation means material can move through the line during an operating campaign; it does not mean the plant never stops. Compare annual operating hours, campaign length, availability assumptions, planned cleaning and inspection windows, feed-change procedures and exclusion conditions. Only a written test basis and acceptance procedure should become a performance commitment.

03How should shutdown and maintenance requirements be compared?

Compare the preventive-maintenance plan under the defined feedstock, not a generic claim that one design needs less maintenance. Require cleaning and inspection intervals, wear-part life assumptions, critical-spares lists, maintenance access, specialist tools, staffing, planned downtime and the response time for remote or site support.

04How should emissions and permitting be handled?

Start with the limits and test methods required at the project location. The supplier scope should identify gas capture and reuse, combustion or treatment equipment, flue-gas interfaces, sampling points, alarms, interlocks and wastewater or residue responsibilities. Do not treat a generic “zero emissions” statement as permit or acceptance evidence.

05How much land does the complete project need?

There is no reliable universal footprint for the reactor alone or the full plant. A dimensioned layout must include feed reception and preparation, buffer storage, process modules, product storage, emissions controls, utilities, civil works, fire access, maintenance clearances, vehicle routes and any planned expansion. Confirm the final plot plan after the supply boundary and site rules are fixed.

06What should installation and commissioning include?

Use a responsibility matrix covering design documents, civil and utility interfaces, transport and unloading, erection, electrical and control work, inspections, dry and hot commissioning, representative-feed trials, operator training and acceptance tests. The schedule should be issued only after site readiness, import, permit and buyer-supplied work are defined.

07What information is needed for an accurate quotation?

Send representative feed samples or analysis, required hourly and annual throughput, operating calendar, project location and climate, available utilities, target product specifications, local waste, fire and emissions rules, storage needs, automation level, delivery boundary and required start date. A comparable quotation should list assumptions, exclusions, battery limits, evidence deliverables and acceptance criteria.

Turn the FAQ into one controlled RFQ

Share the feedstock, site, operating basis and required acceptance evidence so the proposed configuration can be reviewed against the same project facts.
