Niutech offers a solution to the approximately 1.5 billion waste tyres generated worldwide each year, with over 50 million annually in the UK alone
In a nod to the waste tyre export issue, Niutech points out that more than half of these are transferred to developing countries through what it calls a “grey” trade.
This transnational movement of “black pollution” exposes the global lack of effective solutions for the comprehensive utilisation of tyres.
In the face of the global challenge of safe and environmentally friendly disposal of scrap tyres, Niutech, an international leader in continuous pyrolysis, with over 30 years of focus on cutting-edge pyrolysis technology, has independently developed a “large-scale industrial continuous intelligent scrap tyre pyrolysis production line” with complete proprietary intellectual property rights.
When we spoke to Niutech at IFAT in 2024, the company was emphatic that it no longer produced batch pyrolysis systems, as these had been outlawed in China.
Leveraging a powerful AI-controlled system, Niutech technology can continuously convert scrap tyres into high-value-added renewable energy products at capacities ranging from ten thousand to one million tons.
These can then be further processed into chemical raw materials for the production of new products, creating a perfect circular loop from waste to new products. Currently, this technology has been implemented in dozens of countries and regions, including Germany, South Korea, Brazil, and China, successfully completing 10000-ton-scale industrial projects.
The Niutech production line was specifically developed for the global high-end circular economy market. It consists of “intelligent feeding system, continuous pyrolysis system, non-condensable gas scrubbing system, oil separating and cooling system, circulating water cooling system, flue gas purification system, intelligent discharge system, and fully automated control system.
Accordinmg to Niutech, the system integrates nearly 10,000 proprietary technical parameters, the pyrolysis process under AI control achieves optimal operation. The system can operate stably for several months at full capacity, from ten thousand to one million tons, with a pyrolysis rate exceeding 99.5%, and a 30% increase in efficiency.
Additionally, with proprietary heat recovery technology and multi-stage tail gas purification, the entire system reduces energy consumption by 40%. All emissions meet the environmental standards of the EU EEA and US EPA. Currently, the Niutech equipment has obtained EU CE Certification, German TUV Certification, and ATEX Certification. Related projects have passed ISCC EU/PLUS international sustainability and carbon certification, and products meet the requirements of the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED II). They are regarded as the “ultimate solution” to global tyre pollution.
