TRANSFORMING WASTE MANAGEMENT: EVALUATION OF A FIXED BED BATCH-TYPE PYROLYSIS PLANT UTILIZING SCRAP TIRES IN BANGLADESH

Abstract

This study assesses the efficacy of a fixed bed batch-type pyrolysis plant utilizing scrap tires as feedstock for waste management in Bangladesh. Pyrolysis presents a promising approach to address the mounting challenge of tire disposal by converting scrap tires into valuable products such as fuel oil, carbon black, and steel wire. The research encompasses the design, fabrication, and performance evaluation of the pyrolysis plant under local operational conditions. Through comprehensive testing and analysis, key performance indicators including pyrolysis efficiency, product yield, and environmental impact are assessed. The findings offer insights into the feasibility and sustainability of pyrolysis-based waste management solutions in Bangladesh, with implications for addressing broader environmental and energy challenges.
