Cryogenic Separation Process

The Cryogenic Separation Process designed by biotecIasia offers several advantages on one side we contribute to the worldwide desired reduction of CO₂ - emissions. Other advantages of cryogenically frozen rubber is that it pulverizes far more easily than rubber at ambient temperatures and therefore requires less power to do so. It also creates less wear and tear on machinery and maintenance costs are usually significantly lower and higher quality product.

Background

The disposal of used and discarded tires has posed a problem for almost 100 years, since transportation first began to use rubber tires. Disposal of waste tires is a dilemma for cities, states and industries throughout the World. It is estimated that at the present time, from two to five billion waste tires occupy landfills and stockpiles. As an example, approximately 280 million additional waste tires are generated each year in the United States alone. For many years governmental agencies, municipalities, industrial corporations and community leaders have worked to reduce this growing stockpile of discarded tires.

Waste tires pose an environmental and health problem. They are not biodegradable. They are unsightly, and provide insect breeding grounds, thereby exacerbating the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. Also, whole tires are difficult to store in landfills because they tend to work their way to the top of the fill and can cause damage to the landfill cap or seal. Many tires are dumped illegally because of the cost associated with placing them in sanctioned dump sites.

Our initiative thought by biotecIasia was to do something but green, the Cryogenic Separation Process offers several advantages on one side we contribute to the worldwide desired reduction of CO₂ - emissions Other advantages of cryogenically frozen rubber is that it pulverizes far more easily than rubber at ambient temperatures and therefore requires less power to do so. It also creates less wear and tear on machinery and maintenance costs are usually significantly lower and higher quality product.

In connection to our science background we’re capable to provide even a solution to generate the needed sources like electricity etc. for the process to be 100% green with the facility or carbon foot print friendly.
