Yes we know, but at what price ... for the consumer?
It's like waste oils: taxes, taxes, even taxes for garages or tire fitters ... so for customers ... so for you and us ...
Aliapur imposes taxes for the collection and then makes second money in the recovery ... Something is wrong with me!
Suez and others are doing the same ... very lucrative recycling activities so ...
About tire combustion:
Used tires used as fuel have a high calorific value, very
not very variable according to the samples taken within the PL and VL deposits, and comparable to
that of coal and petroleum coke.
In addition, the particularity of PUNR is their low sulfur content (around 1,3%,
equivalent to that of coal) in comparison with sulfur levels for coke from
oil which can vary greatly depending on the source of the fuel, and can reach
6%, requiring smoke treatment (to reduce SO2 emissions so as to
respect the emission limit values).
Taking into account the elements of analysis of the PCI,% carbon and biomass share, the factor
of the PUNR emissions calculated is around 59 t CO2 / TJ for used VL tires and
43 t CO2 / TJ for used PL tires, 45% less than petroleum coke and
coal.
Thus, tires not only provide an intake of calories equivalent to
that of petroleum coke and coal, but reduces emissions
of fossil CO2 significantly due to their biomass fraction (up to
45% of combustion emissions in the case of a 100% substitution of the
coke from used tires)
Other info:
The tires have a high calorific value: around 24 kJ / kg.
1 kg of tire is therefore 24/36 = 0.67 L of fuel oil at 0.6 € / L
1 Tonne of tire is 3 to 400 € of energy savings for Aliapur customers ...
For 330 Tons it is at least 000 * 300 = € 330 Million in the pockets of Aliapur + Collection taxes ...
Recycling is profitable
Well, it's always better than an open dump that blazes for days ...
