Details on P2O process & JB's thought process:

In case you all missed this one (as I did until now), this was taken from Facebook (am I violating iHub TOU with this?):


Tires are _really_ easy.. Without giving away too much. The reactor has a beautiful ability to separate steel, carbon black powder, and the hydrocarbon gas automatically. Tires are very simple to process. Picture this:

Tire enters reactor (chunks whatever), then after 8 hours or so the carbon back is sucked out, the wire in the liquid catalyst is then extracted by reversing the reactor. Very clean.

I won't do tires at first. The yield is not as high as plastic.

" Would they first be ground up and then fed into the reactor?"

It would be very foolish of us to convert the entire tire into fuel. There is so much $$$ in a tire. How about converting the sidewalls of the tire into oil and preserve the elastomer in the treads and sell that at $0.84/pound?

If I take that a bit further, why convert the sidewalls into $0.20/litre when I can skew the curve elsewhere and get $0.70?

It's all about the hydrocarbon reforming. When you can crack a long hydrocarbon chain where you want it... then you can make more than those pumping aromatic hydrocarbons out of the ground...


Interesting stuff....
