What is TDF Tire Derived Fuel? How to make it?

What is TDF tire derived fuel?

TDF, also called tire derived fuel, tire pyrolysis oil, refers to a fuel derived from waste tires, processed to remove impurities and enhance its combustion efficiency. As a renewable energy source, it offers significant advantages over traditional fossil fuels. Boasting a high calorific value of 25–30 MJ/kg—10–20% higher than coal—TDF delivers robust energy output for industrial applications. Additionally, its low ash content (less than 5%) and reduced sulfur dioxide emissions (70% lower than coal) make it a more environmentally friendly choice, aligning with modern emissions regulations.

What is TDF used for?

TDF, tire derived fuel is a good alternative fuel energy in the market, which can be used in some heavy oil machinery, such as cement plant, glass plant, brick plant, steel plant, etc. Also, if you want to enhance its value, we can make further purification to get non-standard diesel, which has wider applications.

What machine can produce tire derived fuel and how to make it?

Tire derived fuel can be produced with pyrolysis machine, which can convert waste tires to fuel oil, carbon black, steel wire and other valuable products. For its working process, the following is a brief display: first feeding waste tires into the pyrolysis reactor with auto-feeding machine or manually, then heat the pyrolysis reactor to a certain temperaturem, the waste tires will be broke into small molecules to generate oil gas, and the oil gas goes through the condensation system, and we can finally obtained the fuel oil-tire derived fuel.

Of course, the quality and quantity of obtained tire derived fuel depends on the recycled waste tires. Different waste tires have different oil yields, if you wan to obtain more tire derived fuel with high quality, one way is to select waste tires with high oil yield and high quality. Also, the other way is to select excellent pyrolysis machine.

Huayin pyrolysis machine, with over 31 years developing experience in the pyrolysis market, has become a popular choice for most customers. On the one hand, the pyrolysis reactor and condensation system of Huayin pyrolysis machine goes through several technical upgrades, we can ensure the complete pyrolysis of waste tires and the complete condensation of oil and gas, thus helping customers get more tire derived fuel. On the other hand, Huayin pyrolysis machine ia equipped with full set of environmental protection system to make full purifying of generated exhausted gas, avoiding producing second pollution during the whole working process.

In addition, Huayin pyrolysis machines have helped many customers successfully set up the pyrolysis machine projects and obtain high quality TDF in various regions, such as India, Thailand, Malaysia, Mexico, Indoensia, Brazil, Colombia, Italy, South Africa, Ghana, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc. If you also interested in this project, welcome to contact us!
