HOW DO TITAN RECYCLING PLANTS WORK?
By running automobile tires that have been shredded to approximately 6 diameter through a low temperature process of approximately 450° F, and extracting oil, steel and carbon black for resale. Research and development undertaken in the last year has established that the carbon black can be converted into activated carbon, which commands a significantly higher market price than carbon black and appears to be accessible to a greater number of markets. The conversion can be accomplished with off-the-shelf commercially available equipment. Some loss of product is incurred in the activation process, but this is expected to be more than offset by the higher price. The most attractive markets for the activated carbon appear to be for waste water treatment and removal of mercury contained in flue gases generated by coal-fired electric generating plants, although there also appear to be niche markets available which could obtain premium prices.
