The improper disposal of waste tyres is a significant environmental issue, and pyrolysis, a thermal decomposition process, offers a promising solution for sustainable management. This project focuses on designing and developing a lab-scale extractor to produce pyrolysis oil from waste tyres. After 2D and 3D drawings were created using SolidWorks, the extractor was set up and tested. At an optimum power of 2000 W, the mass of pyrolysis oil obtained was about 70% higher than for 1000 W. However, the tyre residues decreased by 45%, indicating that more pyrolysis oil can be produced with a small amount of waste. This extractor addresses the need for a compact, efficient, and cost-effective system to explore the feasibility of tyre pyrolysis oil.

摘要

The improper disposal of waste tyres is a significant environmental issue, and pyrolysis, a thermal decomposition process, offers a promising solution for sustainable management. This project focuses on designing and developing a lab-scale extractor to produce pyrolysis oil from waste tyres. After 2D and 3D drawings were created using SolidWorks, the extractor was set up and tested. At an optimum power of 2000 W, the mass of pyrolysis oil obtained was about 70% higher than for 1000 W. However, the tyre residues decreased by 45%, indicating that more pyrolysis oil can be produced with a small amount of waste. This extractor addresses the need for a compact, efficient, and cost-effective system to explore the feasibility of tyre pyrolysis oil.
