Pyrum Innovations AG develops and operates thermolysis technology that recovers raw materials from end-of-life tires, turning a difficult-to-recycle waste stream into secondary raw materials for industry and chemistry.
Core products
Pyrum patented thermolysis process thermally decomposes shredded end-of-life tires in the absence of oxygen, at its own industrial-scale recycling facilities. The process yields ThermoTireOil, a pyrolysis oil used as a secondary raw material, and ThermoTireBlack, a recovered carbon black, along with recovered steel and process gas used to help power the plant.
Materials and applications
Pyrum technology is applied specifically to end-of-life tires. The recovered ThermoTireOil is used by industrial and chemical partners as a secondary raw material, including as feedstock for new tire and plastics production, while ThermoTireBlack is marketed as a substitute for virgin carbon black.
Background
Pyrum Innovations AG is headquartered in Dillingen/Saar, Germany, and has developed its thermolysis technology since the company was founded in 2008, building its own laboratory and large-scale industrial recycling facilities.
