Humberside Tyre Pyrolysis FS

英国每年产生约45万吨旧轮胎。其中一些可以重复使用和再利用，但40万吨必须处理。这些垃圾不允许被送往垃圾填埋场。其中一些在英国被重新加工成橡胶屑，用于(例如)游乐场和人造草坪。也有一部分被制成碎屑，用于水泥窑。由于国际航运的低成本和历史上的低壁垒，2018年向印度出口的数量不断增加，达到26.3万吨，主要用于低技术热解生产原油和污染燃料油。英国和印度政府都在寻求消除对健康和环境造成不利影响的出口。此外，英国必须支付出口废物的费用。已经开发出比(例如)印度使用的更复杂的热解工艺。它们能产生质量更好的油，有些还能回收轮胎中的碳黑。然而，几乎无公司既可以生产可直接提炼成运输燃料的轮胎裂解油(TPO)，也可以回收可在轮胎中重复使用的碳黑(RCB)。斯堪的纳维亚环境系统公司(Enviro)开发了一种环境无害的工艺，几乎是唯一的，可以同时生产高质量的TPO和RCB。2G BioPower已经与Enviro合作多年。由于轮胎中使用天然橡胶，TPO是部分可再生的。2G BioPower现在正在与英国燃料部门合作，使用Enviro的技术中的TPO来生产可再生的运输燃料，称为“开发燃料”。这一新类别的废物衍生燃料将越来越多地在英国使用，并为Enviro技术提供了一个独特的机会。此外，Enviro现在已经与米其林建立了合作伙伴关系，开始在英国的一个轮胎制造项目中使用RCB。该项目的目的是确定如何在英国大规模部署Enviro的技术。这种部署将减少(并有可能消除)英国的轮胎出口，改善英国的国际收支平衡，为英国提供就业机会，并减少英国的温室气体排放，特别是在运输业。

The UK generates about 450,000 tonnes of used tyres each year. Some can be re-used and re-treaded, but 400,000 tonnes have to be disposed of. These are not allowed to go to landfill. Some are reprocessed in the UK into rubber crumb for use in (for example) play surfaces and artificial turf. A proportion is also turned into shred for use in cement kilns. Due to the low cost of international shipping and historically low barriers an increasing amount has been exported to India reaching 263,000 tonnes in 2018, largely for low-technology pyrolysis to produce crude and polluting fuel oil.Both the UK and Indian Governments are seeking to eliminate exports which have adverse health and environmental impacts. Furthermore the UK has to pay to export its waste.More sophisticated pyrolysis processes have been developed than used in (for example) India. These produce a better quality oil and some recover the Carbon Black in tyres. However, almost non can produce both Tyre Pyrolysis Oil (TPO) of a quality that can be directly refined into transport fuels, and recover Carbon Black (rCB) that can be re-used in tyres.Scandinavian Enviro Systems (Enviro) has developed an environmentally sound process that, almost uniquely, produces both high quality TPO and rCB. 2G BioPOWER has been working with Enviro for several years.TPO is partially renewable due to the natural rubber in tyres. 2G BioPOWER is now working with the UK fuel sector to use TPO from Enviro's technology to produce renewable transport fuel called 'Development Fuel'. This new category of waste-derived fuel will increasingly be used in the UK and presents a unique opportunity for the Enviro technology. Furthermore Enviro has now established a partnership with Michelin opening up the use of rCB from a UK project in tyre manufacture.The purpose of the project is to define how to deploy Enviro's technology at large scale in the UK. Such deployment will both reduce (and potentially eliminate) UK tyre exports, improve the UK's balance of payments, provide employment in the UK and also reduce UK GHG emissions, particularly in transport.
