The EnviroWave Process and Waste Tire Reduction
The use of microwave technology to reduce the vast stockpile of scrap or waste tires has proven to be a viable and economical method to recycle scrap tires into a number of profitable and environmentally friendly products. Though the microwave theory is essentially the same in organic reduction and destruction applications, the excitation of organic molecules and the applicator design is distinctly different. Essentially, applications involving tires and plastics are referred to as a reduction cycle, as tires and plastics are reduced to their constituent molecules and simpler compounds. The application of microwaves in soil remediation, is referred to a destruction process, since the organic contaminants are destroyed in a set of irreversible reactions. Although the contaminants are reduced to smaller, safer, EPA-acceptable compounds, the original contaminants themselves are destroyed.
The strengths of the EnviroWave Tire Reduction Process lie in the unique ability to convert an
environmentally-unacceptable tire dump into an environmentally-friendly fuel-producing process, capable of producing revenue through the sale of recovered by-products. Alternate revenue streams may be realized through the sale of electrical energy, generated from recovered gas and liquid fuels, sales of carbon/carbon black and steel to industrial users.
