Low Sulphur Fuels (LSF) has developed a unique chemical recycling process to convert used rubber tyres, plastics and lub oils and produce circular outputs that are used to make new plastics, chemicals, rubber tyres or components and other valuable products. The Problem Disposing of used rubber tyres, oils and plastics in landfills or exporting it to developing countries for re-processing, dumping or burning is causing massive environmental emissions of CO 2 , NOx and SOx: 30% of used oils and rubber are dumped or incinerated annually 70% of used plastics are dumped, landfilled or incinerated.
The Solution LSF have developed a unique chemical recycling process to recover the hydrocarbon component of used rubber tyres, plastics and lube oils, and produce recovered distillate outputs and recovered Carbon Black. These can then be converted into new plastics, chemicals, rubber tyres and other consumer and industrial products. LSF’s recovered distillates can be used by refineries and plastic manufacturers to make new, as good as original, plastics, rubber tyres, industrial product and other industrial and consumer products. In simple terms they heat the input feedstock to a gas phase, then inject their proprietary electrolyt into the gas stream. LSF’s electrolyte reacts and cools the gas to produce a raw distillate/electrolyte mix. They separate and solvent wash the raw distillate to produce a clean, bright final distillate as well as other valuable outputs. The outputs can be used to make new chemical feedstocks, rubbers, plastics, and other valuable products. LSF’s key USP is that it produces a highly saturated distillate with low levels of contaminants by using their radical electrochemistry to deliver such results. Most of their current competitors cannot achieve this.
