Lu'an, Anhui (2025): 135 TPD Waste Tire Pyrolysis Project – Driving Circular Economy in the Yangtze River Delta

In 2025, Shangqiu Jinpeng Industrial Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as "Jinpeng") successfully commissioned a large-scale waste tire recycling project in Lu'an, Anhui Province – a key city in the Yangtze River Delta region. Equipped with 9 sets of batch-type pyrolysis equipment (15 tons per unit per day), the facility achieves a total daily processing capacity of 135 tons, annually converting over 48,000 tons of waste tires into high-value resources. This landmark project not only addresses Anhui’s growing waste tire challenge but also aligns with the national "Beautiful Yangtze River Delta" initiative for building a "Zero-Waste City", setting a benchmark for sustainable waste management in East China.

Lu'an, strategically located in central Anhui, faces mounting pressure from waste tires generated by the province’s booming automotive and manufacturing sectors. Before the project, millions of tons of discarded tires were either landfilled or illegally dumped, causing soil pollution, fire hazards, and resource waste. Jinpeng’s tailored solution was selected for its perfect balance of scalability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental compliance – a critical requirement for medium-to-large scale waste recycling projects in the region.

Each of the 9 batch-type pyrolysis units operates on Jinpeng’s proven low-temperature micro-negative pressure technology, which ensures efficient conversion while minimizing environmental impact. The process efficiently transforms waste tires into four high-quality products:
lPyrolysis Oil: A premium low-chlorine fuel with a calorific value of 9,200-9,500 kcal/kg, supplied to petrochemical enterprises in Shandong and Jiangsu for deep processing.
lCarbon Black: With low ash content (≤8%), the carbon black is refined into filling-grade and refined-grade products, widely used in rubber products, asphalt modification, and black master batch production – meeting the growing demand for cost-effective alternatives to virgin carbon black in East China’s manufacturing hubs .
lSteel Wire: Clean and impurity-free, the recovered steel wire is sold to manufacturers of rust-removing steel shots, achieving full metal resource recycling.
lNon-Condensable Gas: Purified and desulfurized, the gas is recycled to heat the pyrolysis reactors, reducing external energy consumption by 30% and realizing an energy-efficient closed-loop system.

The economic and environmental benefits of the Lu’an project are remarkable. Environmentally, it reduces annual CO₂ emissions by over 134,000 tons (compared to virgin resource production), eliminates waste tire landfill, and conserves valuable land resources. Economically, it creates over 50 local jobs in operation and maintenance, while the high-value end products generate steady revenue streams for the client – tapping into East China’s robust market demand for recycled fuels and carbon black. The project has also become a model for Anhui’s "Zero-Waste City" construction, demonstrating how waste recycling can drive both ecological progress and economic growth.
