Which industries use waste tyre fuel?
A major use for waste tyres is the firing of cement kilns, and many cement producers have embraced the tyre as an alternative source of fuel. The process of tyre chipping has been used to reduce the volume taken up by the whole tyre, making it far easier to handle, but this has posed other problems: • the extra cost considerations involved with tyre chipping • there is a tight tolerance of chip size, which is critical for effective handling and use • the extra process and equipment needed • also, the tyre chips are non flowing, so are prone to clogging within storage bins.
