II. Technology

Techtrans Rubber to Oil Technology®- The rubber waste processing is based on the catalytic transformation of the feedstock. This transformation – taking place inside the system – produces the following results: due to the temperature produced in an environment without air (no combustion) and under atmospheric pressure, the rubber is decomposed (dehydrocarbonisation) and transformed into a product of new properties.

The waste processing system based on the Techtrans Rubber to Oil Technology® is environmentally friendly and guarantees economic benefits. The single-reactor system is capable of processing 260000 kg of feedstock every month (app. 3120 Mg per year), producing approximately 120000 kg of full-value end product of new properties (dehydrocarbonized oil).

Techtrans Rubber to Oil Technology® system is easy to use, does not require many employees or complicated operational procedures. The feedstock is easy to acquire, while the final product has numerous industrial applications.

1. General information

The system was designed to enable the processing of rubber waste into liquid fuels components, which, depending on the assumed application, may constitute a final product or an intermediate product that may be used for further refining processes.

Such a method allows for the utilization of a waste category that used to be unmanaged and constituted a very serious environmental problem.

2. Stages of the technological process- exemplary double-reactor system

The process that takes place in the system is repeatable. The system operates 24h a day, 7 days a week.

Stages of the production process:

Preparation of the required amount of feedstock

Preparation of the feedstock in respect of the applicability

and efficiency of the process

Loading the feedstock into the reactor

Beginning of the dehydrocarbonization process in the reactors A and B

Storing the dehydro oil

Cleaning of the reactors A and B

Storing the carbon black

Storing the steel waste

Important:* During cleaning, the process does not have to be stopped. When the reactor A is cleaned, the reactor B can still operate and perform its tasks

2. Preliminary preparation of the feedstock

3. Processing potential and production efficiency

4. Potential sources of the feedstock

13

1. Types of rubber allowable for the process

The recycled feedstock can be acquired from the group 16, subgroup 16 01 waste –

i.e. used or unusable vehicles, disassembly waste, inspection and maintenance remains

(excluding the groups 13 and 14 and subgroups 16 06 i 16 08), waste with the code

16 01 03 – used tyres, and 19 12 04 – plastic and rubber waste.

The rubber is composed mainly of chain molecules with 2 - 30 thousand units of

monomer, i.e. isoprene, butadiene, chloroprene. Properties of the rubber depend on

the output monomers or their isomers.

14

2. Preliminary preparation of the feedstock

Before being loaded into the feeding opening,

the feedstock does not have to be crumbled

(with the exception of elements larger than 220 cm in

diameter)

Before being loaded into the reactor, the feedstock does not have to be cleaned or dried. Most rubber waste available in the market meets the

requirements of the system

No additional costs related to the preparation of the feedstock

15

3. Processing potential and production efficiency

16

The demand for the raw material is equal to app. 260000 kg per month and depends on the assumed quality of the acquired waste. The rule is as follows:

“the cleaner the feedstock, the higher the processing potential, the better the processing coefficients and the lower the exploitation costs”

Process efficiency: in principle, the process efficiency depends on the quality of the feedstock and is equal to 45 - 55% (ratio of the amount of the final product in the form of oil to the amount of the feedstock). The higher the quality of the feedstock, the lower the costs related to the process.

4. Potential sources of the feedstock

The following list presents potential sources of rubber waste:

tyre stockyards,

communal waste separation facilities located directly at landfill sites,

facilities that use rubber in their technological processes and producepost-production waste,

specialist companies that store and sell rubber waste.

It is recommended to acquire raw material divided into categories.

The raw material should be warehoused and stored

in a dry place, with a roof and ventillation system to allow it to dry.

Sewage system with oil and hydrocarbon separator is

recommended.

V. Final product

1. Final product of the process

2. Final product – dehydrocarbonated oil

3. Basic properties properties

18

1. Final product of the process

19

Dehydrocarbonated oil – Oil fraction of high calorific value that can be used to produce energy.

Gas fraction – The entire gas fraction returns to the reactor burners in order

to maintain the dehydrocarbonization process.

Carbon black – Can be used as a filler in the rubber production process (e.g. for new tyres) or as

a raw material in the production of activated carbons. There is a high market demand for this

product.

Metal cord – Metal cord is a technological, steel waste and can be sent to

the recipients to be recycled.

2. Final product – dehydrocarbonated oil

20

Dehydrocarbonated oil is a substance composed of unsaturated and saturated

hydrocarbons, characterized by the wide scope of boiling temperatures, up to

360°C.

The obtained mixture of hydrocarbons can be used as a raw material in

petrochemical industry or as an intermediate product in other sectors of chemical

industry.

It can also be used as a synthetic fuel.

Potential recipients of the oil fraction:

- Chemical industry

- Energy industry

- Petroleum refineries

VI. Natural environment

1. Impact of the system on the naturalenvironment

2. Waste production

22

1. Impact of the system on the natural environment

Air pollution

Analysis of the impact of the technology on the cleanliness of the atmospheric air proves that

there is no excessive influence of the organized production sources on the air cleanliness.

Post-production waste:

The performance of a complete technological process may produce the following waste:

Plastics that cannot be processed in the system (segregated portions of waste delivered to theplant) – insignificant amount,

sediment (glass, sand) produced in the result of the processing of minerally contaminated feedstock,aggregated in the bottom of the reactor and removed; the amount depends on the purity of theprocessed waste,

aluminium waste,

Most waste produced in the result of the segregation will be recycled by other companies – recipients of non-hazardous waste, while the non-recyclable waste will be stored at a landfill site.

23

2. Pollution emissions

24

The performance of a complete technological process may produce the following

post-production waste: produced water, gas

Monthly amount of post-production waste and waste management:

1. Produced water

15m3/m

The water should be utilized by specialist companies

Average amount of produced water per month:

No application in the further part of the production process

The produced water is not toxic and is not harmful to the employees (provided that appropriate tanks are used)

2. Gas can be used in the further part of the process

In practice, 98% of the gas is re-used in the process

The remaining part is burned in the system
