After a further pre-lodgement meeting in Toowoomba yesterday with Queensland Government officials plans for construction of the plant to recycle old tyres into oil, carbon and steel are on track for commissioning of the first module next April.

The plant will be operated by Green Distillation Technologies, an Australian company that has developed a unique process that will recycle old tyres into valuable oil, carbon and steel, which makes it an outstanding example of the ‘circular economy’.

The plant is expected to process 19,300 tonnes, or a mix of 658,000 car and truck tyres per year, to yield approximately 8 million litres of oil, 7,700 tonnes of carbon and 2,000 tonnes of steel.

Caravan tyres have special issues

caravan tyresCaravans have tyre issues that are not encountered with the average car tyre.

For a start, the wear patterns on caravan and trailer tyres are different to cars and 4wd’s as the weight loadings are generally higher.

This problem can be added to by the owner illegally overloading the ‘van over its permitted weight behind the axle by putting in those extras like a barbecue, chairs, table, outdoor lights and a tent, as well as that extra water for the shower, that are a ‘must’ for the holidays.

New research has been conducted into the performance and emissions of oil from recycled tyres in a 2.5 litre diesel vehicle under real-world operating conditions.

The tests were conducted on a 2017 Hyundai iLoad van, a vehicle size that is used for city deliveries and as a people mover and has an engine capacity comparable to that widely used in light commercials, SUVs and 4WDs.

The first tyres were white, not black

white rim car tyreThe first car tyres were white, not black, as the colour comes from the carbon black that is added to the tyre during manufacture to greatly improve wear and heat dissipation.

The natural colour of rubber is an off-white and the gleaming colour of those early tyres came from zinc oxide added to the mix.

Although they did look stylish they did not have great durability. Read More

aircraft tyreAn Australian recycler with world-first recycling technology can turn old aircraft tires into bio jet fuel.

This sounds like the ultimate in the circular economy, but theoretically it can be achieved using the tire recycling process pioneered by Green Distillation Technologies, an Australian company which was awarded a bronze medal two years ago in the Edison Awards, rated as the world’s top prize for innovation.

Old aircraft tyres can be turned into bio fuel

recycle aircraft tyres for biofuelAircraft tyres on a commercial jet are an amazing example of advanced design and manufacture. After all they have to hit the tarmac and after an initial skid accelerate to 170 miles per hour and safely support the weight of a small office building.

But after six months, or 300 landings, they need replacement.

Although some can find further use on farm equipment or backhoes, most are ground into crumbed rubber for use in playgrounds and sporting fields.

Unfortunately, there is a limit on how much can be used for these purposes. Inevitably a large percentage is burnt as furnace fuel.
