Canada: Titan International - carbon black from scrap rubber

摘要

Titan International (headquartered at Quincy, IL) plans to build a scrap rubber pyrolysis facility on a 4 hectare site, just north of Fort McMurray (440 km north of Edmonton) in northeastern Alberta. The facility will employ a process developed by Green Carbon Inc (of Rome, GA), processing about 44,000 tonnes/y of rubber to generate more than 12,000 tonnes/y of carbon black and more than 6000 tonnes/y of 1075 grade steel, plus 2.3 M litres/y of oil. Input for this facility will consist mainly of scrap off-road vehicle tyres and conveyor belts supplied by the tar sands processing companies in the region.
