Case Study
Alternative Fuel Conversion Process
Project Overview: The technology that recovers the energy value from whole tires is known as fractionation. This process converts tires into gaseous fuel and carbon particles, and recovers steel belts for reuse. The fractionation company implemented this technology at a coal- fired power plant in the Midwest. Tires are suspended in a high-temperature, low- oxygen slipstream from the boiler. The heat converts the organic portion of the tires
