End Life Tires To Energy

End Life Tires (ELTs) in Lebanon represent a significant environmental problem, the longer they are left without treatment, the more it threatens humans' health and safety especially when living in a country classified among the top 25 countries with the highest car ownership. Dealing with this problem is feasible by using proper treatment technique called pyrolysis, where shredded tires are heated in a reactor vessel containing an oxygen-free atmosphere to produce pyrolysis oil, and this oil is further heated in distillation reactor to produce diesel (670 L from 330 ELTs) and many other valuable and profitable products like steel wires, carbon black, solvent thinner, and grease. Protecting the environment for our future and future generations is a basic need, the public and government share major responsibly and are expected to do more to safeguard the environment.
