Sealant Caulk Keeps Oxygen Out at Rubber Recycling Plant

摘要

Reklaim Inc., Boardman, Ore., recycles scrap tires into recovered carbon black (RCB) and tire-derived oils. The central element of Reklaim's operation is a pyrolysis, a thermal process by which hydrocarbon materials are thermally decomposed into constituent materials in an oxygen-free environment. Reklaim has a patent for pyrolysis of crumbed rubber with a vertical rotating tray dryer. The recovered carbon black then is pelletized and sold to manufacturers of rubber and plastic products. The tire-derived oils are sold to large industrial fuel blend organizations for such uses as fuel oil for industrial boilers.
