- Description: This paper reviews the potential of using waste tyre pyrolitic fuel as an alternative energy taking into account its environmental impact and national regulations. The properties of tyre derived oil and its derivatives were evaluated as a potential alternative low cost fuel for various industrial applications. The benefit of pyrolysis versus landfill disposal of waste tyres while producing low cost fuel and other value add products remains a driving force for this initiative. The downstream challenges associated with combustion of high sulphur bearing fuels such as tyre pyrolitic fuels calls for more research to into purification and refining of these fuels. Environmental Legislations on permitting the fuel production facilities, blending of the fuel derivatives with existing commercial diesel need to be clearly defined and facilitated accordingly.

- Description: Characteristics of distilled oil derived from slow pyrolysis of waste rubber were investigated in order to explore its application as diesel additive for application in compression ignition (CI) engines. Light oil fractions were obtained from batch distillation of crude rubber pyrolysis oil at 250oC. Physical properties such as calorific value, density, viscosity, flash point, water content, total contamination and sulphur were measured followed by functional group identification using a Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR). Distilled tyre oil exhibited near comparable properties to diesel fuel with low viscosity, flash point and high sulphur content. A number of functional groups were identified in distilled oil which were also found in commercial diesel. It was observed that distilled rubber oil that is filtered through 13X molecular sieves may be potentially used as an alternative diesel additive.

- Description: The study presented in this article investigated the potential use of tyre derived fuel-diesel blends as an alternative low cost fuel for compression ignition engines. A short review was conducted on waste tyre pyrolysis technology and its benefits in addressing the waste tyre management while providing an alternative usable fuel for diesel engines. Crude oil obtained from slow pyrolysis of waste tyres was distillated and its respective fractions were characterized and blended with low sulphur diesel fuel for fuelling a stationery truck engine linked to a hydraulic dynamometer. The test results revealed that fuel fraction blends with low sulphur diesel can be used to fuel a conventional compression ignition engine, however special attention is required to manage the exhausts emission due to high concentration of sulphur dioxide. There is no doubt that tyre derived fuel has a potential as future alternative fuel for compression ignition engines.
