Can tyre pyrolysis oil be used as an alternative fuel for diesel engines?

Tyre pyrolysis oil is a kind of heavy oil or crude oil, so it cannot be directly used for diesel engines. However, after further refining, tyre pyrolysis oil can be refined into diesel like fuel which can be used as an alternative fuel for many different diesel engines.

Tyre pyrolysis oil can be refined into diesel used as an alternative fuel for many different diesel engines

There are various kinds of diesel engines, such as construction machinery supporting diesel engine, agricultural machinery supporting diesel engine, forklift supporting diesel engine, generator set, , ship supporting diesel engine and vehicle supporting diesel engine, etc. Can the diesel got from tyre be used directly for all the above diesel engines? Obviously the answer is “No”. Because generator set and diesel engines for vehicles, etc. have strict requirement on the sulfur content, carbon residue, heating value as well as water content of the diesel fuel. Tyre pyrolysis oil can be greatly improved through refinery but except the sulfur content.

As we know, when making new tyre, there is a vulcanization process, so the fuel extracted from tyre cannot be avoided to contain sulfur, which is also the reason why tyre pyrolysis oil has higher sulfur content than standard diesel from the gas station. But the sulfur content can be reduced by blending standard diesel.

Pyrolysis oil to diesel distillation plant

In conclusion, tyre diesel is very good alternative fuel , it can be 100% used for many diesel engines, but need to be blended with standard diesel for engines which has high requirement on sulfur content. Our pyrolysis oil to diesel distillation plant is specialized in treating waste pryolysis oil and waste motor oil into diesel-like fuel, and the diesel got from our distillation plant is very close to standard diesel no matter from the oil color or the smell.

Therefore, the tyre pyrolysis oil processed by the pyrolysis oil to diesel distillation plant can be used as an alternative fuel for diesel engine.
