Pyrum Innovations AG announced the successful installation of the two pyrolysis reactors for production lines 2 and 3 at its main plant in Dillingen/Saar. This marks an important milestone in the expansion of the plant. The first tests of the installed components can begin shortly.

These so-called loop checks represent the first step of the cold commissioning. The Pyrum main plant in Dillingen/Saar has so far consisted of one production line, which has been operating on an industrial scale since 2020. In addition to this pyrolysis reactor, Pyrum has built two further towers around 25 metres high since the end of 2021.

Using Pyrum's patented technology, the reactors convert rubber granulate from waste tyres into pyrolysis oil, gas and recovered carbon black (rCB), which in turn are used by Pyrum's customers as raw materials for the manufacture of new products. With the expansion that has taken place, the processing capacity can be tripled in the future to around 20,000 tonnes of ELT per year. In addition, Pyrum is currently planning to build 15 new plants by 2030.
