Enviro (Scandinavian Enviro Systems) is to begin delivering recovered pyrolysis oil as part of the order from Preem that was announced in November of last year. Preem will use the oil as a raw material for production tests and the order value is estimated at approximately MSEK 2. Through production testing, Preem will determine how suitable the oil is for the production of different biofuels. These tests will take place at Preem’s refinery in Lysekil, which has already been granted a permit to conduct production tests of pyrolysis oil. This oil will be produced at Enviro’s plant in Åsensbruk where Enviro extracts for example oil from end-of-life vehicle tires using its proprietary and patented recycling technology.

Pyrum Innovations AG, a leading player in tire pyrolysis, has successfully installed two pyrolysis reactors for its production lines 2 and 3 at its main plant in Dillingen/Saar. This marks a significant milestone in the expansion of the plant and represents the first step towards increasing the recycling capacity of the facility. The CEO of Pyrum Innovations, Pascal Klein, stated that despite various challenges, such as supply chain disruptions, the chip shortage, and the impact of COVID-19, the company expects to complete the expansion on schedule.

As per the recent press release, a newly approved standard from ASTM International’s recovered carbon black committee (D36) provided a test that will help to differentiate products and provide a quality control tool for producers and users. Recovered carbon black (rCB) is a recycled product made from end-of-life tires. The new standard, which will shortly be published as D8474, specifies a thermogravimetric (TGA) technique for determining the amount of organic residue, how much fixed carbon is in total, and how much ash is in recovered carbon black.

All concerned stakeholders in the eco-system of Tyre Industry, which are integral part of the Circular Economy, viz. senior Government officials & Policy makers, representatives from the Tyre Industry, material recovery, reclaim, retreading and allied sectors have been invited to participate in the Conference and contribute in the deliberations.

Scandinavian Enviro Systems (Enviro) has received an order for pyrolysis oil, the total value of which Enviro estimates to be approximately MSEK 4.7 (USD 450,000). Behind the order is the subsidiary of a leading US oil company that submitted an initial order for oil in February of 2022 for production tests. Delivery of the order is expected over a period of about one year beginning in March 2023 and follows on from successful production testing by the customer that Enviro previously announced.

The best available technology (BAT) is the technology approved by legislators or regulators for meeting output standards for a particular process. BAT for a given industrial sector is described in reference documents called BREFs (Best Available Techniques Reference documents). BREFs are the result of an exchange of information between European Union Member States, the industries concerned, non-governmental organizations promoting environmental protection and the European Commission. This exchange of information is referred to as the Sevilla process because it is steered within the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies of the European Commissions' Joint Research Centre, which is based in Seville. The process is codified into law by Commission Implementing Decisions. The most important chapter of the BREFs, the BAT conclusions, are published as implementing decisions of the European Commission in the Official Journal of the European Union. According to the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED), the BAT conclusions shall be the reference for setting permit conditions of (large) industrial installations.
