Tire Pyrolysis Oil: From “Black Pollution” to High-Value Resource

Mountains of waste tires—once seen as non-degradable “black pollution”—now undergo remarkable transformation through advanced pyrolysis. Continuous tire pyrolysis equipment operates as eco-friendly resource recovery system. In oxygen-free or low-oxygen environments, this technology decomposes tire polymers into valuable resources: Pyrolysis oil, Carbon black, Fuel gas, and Steel wire. Achieving nearly 100% resource recovery and pollution-free treatment.
Waste tires occupy vast lands, breed mosquitoes, spread diseases, and pose fire risks (releasing toxic gases). Worse, tire chemicals leach into soil and water, disrupting ecosystems and threatening drinking water/ food safety. Solving this “black pollution” crisis is urgent.


Pyrolysis is the ultimate solution. Niutech, a Chinese industry leader, operates continuous industrial pyrolysis lines that safely and stably convert waste tires into four key resources:
1. Pyrolysis Oil
Basic Use: Refinery feedstock for gasoline/diesel components, or direct industrial fuel oil (“tire-to-fuel”).
High-Value Use: Refined via hydrogenation/catalytic cracking into clean fuel components, specialty solvents, or chemical feedstocks for premium products.
2. Recovered Carbon Black
Basic Use: Reinforcement for inner tire plies, cable sheaths, seals, and rubber products.
High-Value Use: Surface-modified/purified for high-performance tires, plastic pigments, printing inks, or even lithium battery anodes/conductive fillers.
3. Non-Condensable Gas
(Methane-rich, with C2-C4 hydrocarbons/hydrogen)
Basic Use: Self-fueling pyrolysis heating.
High-Value Use: Purified for power generation, industrial boilers, or processed into LNG.
4. Steel Wire
Basic Use: Steelmaking feedstock or abrasive blasting material.
High-Value Use: High-purity scrap for specialty steel, reducing smelting energy/carbon emissions.
Niutech’s Global Impact
Estonia: Continuous operation with high-value recovery of carbon black, steel wire, and fuel oil.
Brazil/Germany/Hungary/Turkey: 24/7 pyrolysis lines pioneering scalable green solutions worldwide.
Pyrolysis technology not only resolves “black pollution” but also converts waste into economically significant resources. From basic fuels to high-end chemicals, materials, and clean energy, it pioneers a waste-to-wealth revolution—powering the circular economy and sustainable development.
