A new tire recycling plant capable of processing 5 thousand tonnes of rubber goods per year has been launched by Stroyspetsmontazh in the Metallostroy municipal settlement, St. Petersburg. According to the company, the plant has enough capacity to process 10-12% of all waste goods of this type accumulated in St. Petersburg annually. The plant uses the technology of continuous low-temperature pyrolysis and has an automatic system for loading and unloading of product. According to the plans, it will produce 2.5 thousand tonnes of synthetic fuel, 2 thousand tonnes of carbon black or 1 thousand tonnes of sorbent, as well as 500 tonnes of pressed steel cord per year. The plant will receive waste from St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast companies that are interested in the recycling of different carbon-containing waste their business generates.
