WHAT IS PYROLYSIS? Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. It involves the simultaneous change of chemical composition and physical phase, and is irreversible. Simply put, heat is used to alter the chemical composition and brings the waste back to commodities that were used to produce it in the first place. Ecolomondo’s proprietary heat curve that has been developed and tested for over 25 years and sets us apart from our competitors. Our heat curve ensures product quality and consistency, optimizing the value of the output. To learn more about our technology, please visit our website at www.ecolomondo.com .

Is the gas created by the TDP process an end-product? Yes. The gas created by the TDP process is a high energy hydrocarbon gas, with a calorific value between natural and propane gas. It can be sold as an end-product, however it is more cost-effective when used as the energy source to heat the reactors.

How many tons of tire waste can a reactor process? A TDP reactor will process 6.5 tons of waste, in 8-hour cycles. A typical TDP turnkey facility should normally operate 335 days per year, taking into consideration downtime, repairs and holidays. As a result, a TDP reactor is able to process over 6,500 tons per year. To learn more about our technology, please visit our website at https://www.ecolomondo.com/ .

WHAT IS AN END-PRODUCT? An end-product is the final result of a manufacturing process. In the case of Ecolomondo, TDP produces five end-products: recycled carbon black, steel, heavy oil, light oil and gas. All of the end-products meet market quality standards and have a commercial value. Although the gas has a commercial value, it is not typically sold as it is reused in the process. Recycled carbon black and oil can be further processed to increase their value. To learn more about our technology, please visit our websit at https://www.ecolomondo.com/ .

What are the environmental effects of burning waste for energy? Burning waste for energy is the subject of many environmental controversies. The only environmental advantage is that it provides an interim solution to get rid of high volumes of tire waste. Burning waste for energy is also referred to as Waste-to-energy or Energy recovery. It is the lesser of two evils in the hierarchy of waste management, as it still destroys valuable commodities but is better than landfil...ling. TDP is a renewable technology that will stop this.

WHAT IS TDP? TDP is the acronym for Ecolomondo’s pyrolytic technology platform: Thermal Decomposition Process. TDP is a sustainable green solution that will decompose waste efficiently. It is a closed batch technology using a rotary kiln that heats waste in an oxygen-free environment. It operates under low positive pressure and with very low emissions. The process is totally automated, safe, robust and effective. A rotary kiln promotes even heat distribution throughout the ...feedstock, safeguarding the consistency of the end-products. The closed batch technology and automation allow TDP to control all process parameters and to repeat them from batch to batch. This is extremely critical because it allows TDP to produce end-products of consistent quality while maximizing output.

Does Ecolomondo’s technology conform to all environmental regulations? TDP turnkey facilities conform to all the environmental regulations of most industrialized countries, including Canada and United States, which today are amongst the most restrictive. To ensure emission standards are respected, each TDP turnkey facility is mustered with apparatus that monitors emissions in real time. TDP recycles all the water used in its process and nothing is discarded in the communal se...wage system. TDP is a very clean and simple technology. All of the waste is decomposed with very little residue. TDP stores very little waste on its ground because all waste delivered is treated immediately.

How is tire waste currently being handled and what hazards do these methods imply? Burnt as fuel for energy (Tire-Derived Fuel): tires are used as a more economical alternative to coal as fuel in cement kilns, pulp and paper mills and industrial and utility boilers 53% in the USA and 38% in Europe. Because of their tipping fees, tires are cheap to procure and provide an excellent energy source, however it is the method that gives the least value to scrap tires. It destr...oys valuable commodity products that are becoming short in supply, that could otherwise be recycled and reused. The burning of tire waste emits greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, even under controlled conditions. This method is destroying commodity products that will soon be needed to maintain a sustainable planet. Shredded for civil engineering and crumb rubber: tire shred is used for landfill construction, and crumb rubber is used for rubber products, sports surfacing and rubber-modified asphalt 29% in the USA and 38% in Europe. Retreaded and exported: tires are reused with a new tread or in a new market 10% in the USA and 15% in Europe. Land-filled: tires are land-filled in designated areas 8% in the USA and 9% in Europe. The situation has improved significantly since the 1980s, however land-filled tires proved to be prone to catastrophic fires which created air and water pollution. Additionally, landfills are health hazards because they harbor disease vectors such as mosquitoes and rats. To top it all, tires take generations to decompose. See more

What is hydrocarbon waste? Hydrocarbon waste is waste-matter containing hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are molecules that are in all products made using fossil fuels. A hydrocarbon is the simplest organic compound containing only carbon and hydrogen. The majority of hydrocarbons found on earth naturally occur in crude oil, where decomposed organic matter provides an abundance of carbon and hydrogen. The most common types of hydrocarbon waste are tires, rubber products, plastics, asphalt, asphalt roof shingles, automobile shred residue (ASR) and diapers.

What does Ecolomondo do? Ecolomondo has developed a sustainable green technology that recycles hydrocarbon waste into renewable commodity products that will be sold for reuse. Ecolomondo’s proprietary Thermal Decomposition Process, which we refer to as TDP, is an innovative green technology that addresses the global problems created by hydrocarbon waste. Ecolomondo markets TDP turnkey facilities on a global scale, based on its proprietary technology platform. The company is c...urrently commercializing TDP turnkey facilities that use scrap tires as feedstock. Ecolomondo will soon begin its commercialization of TDP turnkey facilities that treat other types of hydrocarbon waste; such as plastics, asphalt roof shingles, automobile shred residue and disposed diapers. Ecolomondo also offers after-market services such as technical support, spare parts, technology upgrades and extended warranties.
