LIQUID FRACTIONS

DRON Oil (DO) - The liquid hydrocarbon fraction contains a wide range of hydrocarbons. Liquid products can be used either directly as fuels or for supply into the petroleum refinery as valuable petrochemical raw materials. The combustion heat of the pyrolytic liquid has a value of 40-43 MJ.kg-1

$solid_fraction$

SOLID FRACTIONS - COKE

DRON Carbon (DC) - It is a solid material (pyrocarbon, soots, coke). The obtained cacrbon has a combustion heat of 28 - 30 MJ.kg-1. It can be used in power engineering as an excellent solid fuel. After valorisation, it can be used as Carbon Black in rubber products.

$gas_fraction$

GAS

DRON Gas (DG) - Gases consist mainly of hydrogen, light hydrocarbons (C1-C5). The combustion heat of the gas from used tires ranges from 35 to 42 MJ.m-3 and thanks to its high calorific value it is successfully used for reactor heating. Any excess gas may be used to heat other processes for product valorisation (drying, filtration, distillation, etc.)

$steel_fraction$

STEEL CORDS

DRON Steel cords (DSC) - Steel cords have incomparably better properties than those from traditional mechanical processing of worn tires. They do not have unwanted fibres, they have a higher loose bulking density, they can be excellently compressed and finally they do not contain gum residues.

TECHNOLOGY

Deep thermic cracking process - thermal depolymerization is used to process (recycle) the used tires. This is a material recovery (material recycling), where products with 100% yield are obtained. Thermic cracking - thermal depolymerization is based on the use of a flowing-through reactor placed in a furnace, into which crushed tires (cut to approximately 15-25 cm) are continuously dosed. The uniqueness of the device lies in a continuous chemical process that works continuously and the result is the output of the products of the same high quality. For the reactor heating is used its own recycled gas from the process of burning in the gas burners, which are installed in the furnace. The process of deep thermic cracking takes place in an inert (hydrocarbon) atmosphere without the presence of oxygen, i.e. it is not the combustion of material. It is normally operated at a temperature of up to 650 °C. After thermic cracking, the solid residues in the form of carbon and steel cords leave the reactor - in one part. The crackning products in the form of vapours and gas do leave the reactor - in the second part. The vapours do pass through a two-stage condensation system where they do condense to oil. The obtained gas is burned in a controlled manner and replaces external gaseous fuel (normally natural gas or LPG) during operation..
