Since the 19th century, bicycles, motorcycles, and especially automobiles have been the leading means of individual transport and a powerful symbol of personal freedom. Pneumatic tires play an important role, as they combine increased speed with comfort. So, tremendous quantities have produced, used, and discarded, which are now handled as valuable resource for feedstock recovery. Pyrum's pyrolysis process for tire recycling is energy self-sufficient and saves significantly more CO2 emissions than the current processes. The output are secondary raw materials, such as rubber granules, carbon/recovered carbon black, thermolysis oils, and steel wires.

Customer Profile   With its patented pyrolysis technology, Pyrum Innovations AG is active in the tire recycling market. The company builds and operates recycling plants for used tires.
Pyrum Innovations AG was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Dillingen, Germany. As a pioneer in the field of used tire recycling the company receives REACH registration from the European Chemicals Agency ECHA. The pyrolysis oil is recognized as an official raw material for production processes. In addition, Pyrum has obtained ISCC PLUS certification for the pyrolysis oil and the recovered Carbon Black (rCB). Pyrum thus closes with its process the material cycle and pursues a sustainable business model.
  • SIMATIC PCS neo for reliable process control (to enable scalability and supporting a modular plant design, allowing to integrate package units based on the vendor independent MTP interface)
  • Package Unit Integration (MTP)
  • Holistic security concept incl. mobile devices 
  • Simulation for validation and optimization of new processes
  • Operator Training System using SIMIT
Through our patented thermolysis process, which is a chemical recycling process, we completely transform the rubber components of end-of-life tires into solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. This process produces so-called recovered carbon black (rCB), an ISCC+-certified, sustainable pyrolysis oil, as well as pyrolysis gas
Pascal Klein, CEO and founder of Pyrum Innovations AG
  • Supporting the transition toward a sustainable and efficient circular economy. 
  • Saving up to 72% of CO2 emissions compared to incineration. 
  • Pilot plant is successfully operating in Dillingen, Germany, and extended with more reactors.
  • Modular setup supported by process control system allowed easy scaling and numbering up
  • Staff in new locations could be trained using the SIMIT-based OTS
  • Remote operation of plants possible thanks to SIMATIC PCSneo
