Creating Value Added Carbon Black Alternatives For Tire & Rubber Manufacturing Using Reclaimed Pyrolysis Pyro Carbon

Tokyo, Japan (Marketwired) - Klean Industries Inc., is now offering technology solutions, know-how and consulting services for pyro carbon char upgrading and refining. The Klean Team are leading experts in creating added value to reclaimed carbon blacks and have been consulting on all aspects of technical carbon for over a decade. The tire pyrolysis process can only ever produce a char and can never be commercially viable without a proven carbon enhancement technology. Klean Industries is now taking on new engagements to help retrofit and upgrade many of the failed pyrolysis technologies globally. We can provide full system design and EPC consulting services with regard to advanced solutions for the upgrading, purifying and pelletizing of reclaimed carbon black using nano carbon technologies.

Purifying and removing inherent impurities and contaminants out of recovered carbon black is very difficult due to the strong interaction between the solid arrangement of particles and aggregates and how they interact. Because of such properties, carbon materials including carbon blacks are normally used for absorbing or removing impurities, for example, activated carbon used for purifying drinking water. Klean Industries is able to implement many such methods for both dry and wet processing along with various types of specialized classifying and milling technologies.

Dispersion is another key issue for reclaimed carbon black as is the problem with impurities, and also pellet quality. In terms of dispersion, a powder or fluffy form is generally the best, but it is not well received by the compounding industry due to loadability, dustiness, shipping/handling costs, as well as air pollution issues. Today, the carbon black industry relies mostly on pellets in one form or another: dry, wet, oil, encapsulate, and/or flake. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages depending on the carbon application.

Klean's carbon upgrading technologies and solutions convert raw pyrolysed, carbon rich char into reinforcing carbon black fillers with improved performance characteristics. This upgraded carbon can then be used in a multitude of applications; blending with commercial grades of carbon blacks for use in automotive rubber parts manufacturing, the production of activated carbons for flue gas emissions treatment and waste water cleaning applications.

If you have a tire pyrolysis project that produces low grade landfill carbon char and want to produce high grade carbon black and activated carbon, there is no need to waste time trying to evaluate the project's costs and merits because Klean Industries evaluates dozens of projects and potential projects each month. This keeps Klean Industries current with environmental regulations, permitting requirements and perhaps most importantly, equipment costs, both designed and installed. With this level of knowledge and experience, the Company can creatively look at your situation and offer the best possible solution for your budget. We can provide detailed budgetary capital cost quotes for early consideration by prospective customers, call us for a consultation.

Klean Industries has unique solutions for increasing the value of tire derived carbon char and offers an optional carbon purchase program where they can buy back the finished and upgraded high quality carbon black and or activated carbon black. Klean Industries has a substantial demand for high quality carbon materials with customers worldwide for such products. With offices in Tokyo, London and Vancouver the Klean Team is just a phone call away, for more information on these products and services, please visit www.kleanindustries.com.
