Project Background

At the beginning of 2023, a well-known waste management company from Malaysia tried to tackle the increasing problem of scrap tire stockpile. With the development of the country’s automobile industry, the number of scrap tires that accumulated became a serious problem for the environment as well as a threat of a fire outbreak in local landfills.

The main goals of our customer included:

Environmental Regulations: Adherence to the regulations of the Department of Environment (DOE) Malaysia.

Value Added: Conversion of rubber waste to industrial fuel and raw materials.

Economic Diversification: Creating a source of income from the production of pyrolysis oil and metal.

Configuring Solutions For Clients

In order to satisfy the customer’s needs in terms of reliability and cost-effectiveness, a batch pyrolysis system with two units was installed. This design guaranteed uninterrupted production of oil despite the cooling process performed in each reactor unit.

Major Components of the Solution:

Two Horizontal Pyrolysis Reactors: Two reactors that are able to pyrolize 10 tons of scrap tires per batch.
Three Stage Oil Gas Condensing Unit: Consists of both vertical and horizontal condensers to maximize oil gas liquefaction.
Air Pollution Control Device: The package included the “Three-in-One” dust removal system consisting of water scrubber, ceramic ring adsorber, and activated carbon filter for the compliance with local air pollution regulations.

Safety Equipment: Includes oil-water separator, hydraulic seal, and vacuum pumps to extract remaining gas.

Fast Delivery

We have sufficient stock of pyrolysis and distillation equipment to ensure efficient logistics and fast delivery.

Since the commissioning in February 2023, the plants have maintained stable operations. The following data represents the performance metrics and financial viability based on the first full year of operation.

Performance Results

MetricAnnual Performance (Approx.)
Annual Waste Tire Processing Capacity6,000 Tons (2 units × 10 Tons/day × 300 days)
Average Pyrolysis Oil Yield45% (Based on Malaysian scrap tires)
Annual Pyrolysis Oil Production2,700 Tons
Annual Carbon Black Production1,800 Tons (Approx. 30% yield)
Annual Steel Wire Recovery900 Tons (Approx. 15% yield)

Financial Analysis

To determine the project’s health, we look at the estimated annual operational costs versus the revenue generated from the three primary outputs (Oil, Carbon Black, and Steel).

Estimated Annual Revenue (USD):

Pyrolysis Oil: 2,700 tons × $450/ton = $1,215,000

Steel Wire: 900 tons × $180/ton = $162,000

Carbon Black: 1,800 tons × $60/ton = $108,000

Total Gross Revenue: $1,485,000

Estimated Investment & Operating Costs:

Initial Capital Investment (CAPEX): Approx. $350,000 (Equipment, shipping, and installation).

Annual Operating Expenses (OPEX): Approx. $750,000 (Raw material procurement, labor, electricity, and maintenance).

Annual Net Profit: $1,485,000 – $750,000 = $735,000

ROI Calculation: $735,000/$350,000 = 2.1

This high ROI indicates that the project is capable of “paying for itself” in less than six months of full-capacity operation, assuming consistent raw material costs and market demand for fuel oil.

Other Cases

Conclusion

The successful delivery and commissioning of the two pyrolysis units in February 2023 marked a significant milestone for our Malaysian client. Instead of relying on the conventional method of waste management, the client has managed to minimize the environmental impact caused by 6,000 tons of waste tires per year while simultaneously acquiring an extremely profitable industrial property.

This project can be seen as an exemplary approach that other Southeast Asian businesses may follow to maintain environmental conservation while aggressively expanding economically.
