Tyre Disposal Costs, page-64

PG1 sold 60,000 liters Malaysia for ~$24k = $00.40 / liter (then take out transport costs)

I cannot recall the oil’s Sulphur content being mentioned by either of these companies.

Peal Global state that all their oil is set to go to Malaysia.

Maybe it’s because of the oil quality that PG1 doesn’t have a local market for their oil?

Could the sulphur end up being destructed into the “process vapors” (gas) by product and be filtered out.


PG1 and GDT’s technology appear similar they both call it “destructive” The heat and control appears to be different. Also PG1 uses shredded tires and GDT uses whole tires.


Quoted From the GDT link

(From the following I would think the sulphur content of the oil must be ok(?))


“We consider this to be the final step in the evolution of these tyre recycling processes and we call it ‘destructive distillation’ which overcomes the earlier inherent problems and produces high quality saleable oil, carbon and steel.”

“Queensland University of Technology mechanical engineers tested our oil from recycled tyres and found that when blended with diesel it gives a fuel that reduces emissions with no loss of engine performance. The percentage of fossil fuel was varied during the tests and further road testing of a stop-start delivery vehicle has confirmed those static performance results”


Note - I am not pushing anyones barrow here.


What both are doing is needed, I just don’t like the way PG1 is......Doing it. Reading previous posts on these threads will explain.
