Pyrolysis
If you are contemplating a new pyrolysis plant or would like to expand the reach of your existing products, Weibold can conduct an in-depth study of potential off-takers in your area as well as on international markets. Upon request the study can also include a survey of the feedstocks reasonably available at or near your location.
Switch to tire recyclingThe purpose of our Market Study is to provide the tire recycling plant operator with actionable information about potential off-takers for the plant’s recycling products.
The Market Study Module is designed for tire recycling project initiators, investors or lenders, and operators of existing plants.
Pre-requisites are either a Weibold Pre-Feasibility Study or a good definition and specifications for the products to be marketed, including product mix, volumes, capacities, sizes, pricing ranges, etc. This information must be provided to Weibold by the client and can include data on existing production and hypothetical products the operator wishes to produce in the future.
'Commissioning the Market Study will allow you to:
To provide a meaningful study Weibold needs to understand the Client’s products – existing or intended - in detail. We will therefore first gather all relevant information in a Kick-off Conference, which can be held electronically.
Weibold will then segment the market into sectors and draw on our resource database to define a list of potential customers for the defined products as well as engage a team of researchers to identify new off-takers. Weibold will contact the potential customers to determine their buying capacities.
The Market Study will be delivered as a Report, complete with Executive Summary, Contact Lists, Strength and Weakness Analysis, and judgement on potential based on our 20-year experience in tire recycling.
Weibold is conducting trend, market and technology studies for Clients around the globe. Our Clients include plant operators, investors, lenders, recycling associations, technology providers, and product manufacturers. Now selected cross sections of the knowledge we have collected and pooled in our research database is available for recycling strategists and operators looking for innovations and trends on specific subjects in world-wide markets.
The contents of the Market Research are carefully adjusted to the individual situation of the Client and requirements of the project. The document incldes a comparative overview of traditional tire pyrolysis products, production methods, value adding technologies, and highlights advantages and disadvantages between each type of products.
In the document, Weibold considers the latest developments world-wide in OTR tire pyrolysis and rubber devulcanization technologies. The result of work is a detailed list of technology suppliers qualified for the project and fulfilling its special requirements a) the methods for processing, b) the technical readiness level, c) successful references, d) logistical considerations (weight/volume vs. capital investment), e) and to what extent this application could be applied to the Client's specific situation.
Weibold's Technology Evaluation study will shed light on types of techniques and machinery to enhance quality of recovered carbon black (rCB) and pyrolysis oil. Apart from quality enhancement opportunities, the document will list technologies required to produce consumer goods from tire pyrolysis materials. Recycling tires into materials such as steel-free crumb rubber and fine rubber powder used to be a profitable venture; however, due to market saturation in developed economies, tire recycling companies might want to shift their focus from raw materials to potentially higher-priced consumer goods made from recycled rubber or even virgin rubber which can be replaced by tire-derived materials.
