“Creating a Circular Economy for Waste Plastic & Tyres”
Recycling waste plastic that mostly goes into landfill.
A.Eon Holdings has been established to commercialise the technology of waste plastic and shredding and repurposing the rubber tyres with an initial project in Victoria closely followed by similar major facilities throughout Australia.
The team has been evaluating end-of-life plastic and tyres technology since 2013, from laboratory-based trials at Monash University in Australia to the identification of commercial-scale operations in Europe and the U.S.
PROCESSING TYRES INTO PYROLYTIC OIL:
Co-Pyrolysis of waste plastic and Tyres.
The invention relates to a method for co-pyrolysis of a polyolefin and a rubber containing material.
The extraction of energy and material from waste rubber materials, and in particular tyre waste, has recently gained much attention to drive the circular economy of waste materials. Energy from the waste material can be recovered under the application of heat through gasification, combustion, and pyrolysis. The pyrolysis process involves the breakdown and rearrangement of chemical constituents of the waste rubber material at high temperatures and under inert atmosphere. Hence, waste materials such as rubber can be converted back into raw hydrocarbons.
Pyrolysis of waste rubber materials generally produces oil, gas, and char. The oil and gas products are mainly composed of aliphatic (straight chain), single ring aromatics (SAH), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). Aliphatic and SAH compounds are generally desirable, since for example, high SAH content in oil is an indication of a high-octane rating of a fuel. Moreover, SAHs such as benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene, etc. have numerous applications as raw materials in many industrial applications. In contrast, PAH compounds are undesirable since these compounds are highly carcinogenic and/or mutagenic. As such, the presence of PAH in oil or gas decreases the quality and market value of a pyrolytic oil.
Hydrogen Production from Pyrolysis
The Very Low Sulphur Oil created from our Co-pyrolysis process we can also create hydrogen from the waste plastic and tyres.
Advantages of Pyrolysis for Hydrogen Production:
✔ Lower CO₂ Emissions: Carbon is captured in solid form instead of CO₂ emissions (unlike steam methane reforming).
✔ Waste-to-Hydrogen Potential: Can utilize biomass and plastic waste, reducing landfill waste.
✔ Scalable & Modular: Pyrolysis plants can be adapted for local hydrogen production.
The key benefits of our High-Grade Oil and Carbon Black (Char) produced from the dual waste mix is as follows;
- Highly desirable by a wide range of Processing, Manufacturing, Agricultural and Environmental Industries.
- Our patented Co-Pyrolysis system has significant advantages over other pyrolysis technologies, due to a chemical process that creates a superior grade of Oil and Carbon Black (Char). The Oil produced is classified by the Industry as Ultra-low Sulphur Oil, which has no acid and makes it suitable for a range of manufacturing processes and energy applications.
Monash University will have an R&D facility on-site to provide ongoing testing of varying material inputs to provide feedback on improving the potential output specifications of each plant.
