The present work aims at utilizing the available and untapped source of energy found in everyrnhousehold backyard usually termed as waste tire, using a thermal conversion method calledrnPyrolysis. Where the ultimate objective is, to extract the energy rooted in tires through pyrolysisrnprocess by utilizing the calorific values with an auger/screw pyrolysis reactor plant. In pyrolysisrnprocess, organic (carbon containing) compounds are heated in an oxygen free environment whererntire material decomposition based on kinetic modeling expected to reveal main product lumps:rnNon-condensable gas, pyrolysis oil and char. This technology grants the efficient energyrnconversion while fulfilling the basic 3E (Environment, Efficient ad Economy) factors that leads tornsecuring an alternative energy source. The first phase of the project is completed by waste tirerncharacterization whilst performing the kinetic behavior under pyrolysis process and continues withrnthe kinetic modeling and analysis of pyrolysis process with MATLAB software along with thernfabrication of screw reactor where the conducted experimental approach revealed the viability ofrntheoretical data. rnWaste tires, physically treated to a particle size of 5mm were pyrolyzed in a screw reactor with arntemperature range of 450-550 °C without a carrier gas. The yields pyro oil, char and gas obtainedrnwere quantified. Pyro-oil yields were 2.4 wt. %, gas 43.4 wt. % and char 54.2 wt. %. In general,rnthe screw reactor configuration in pyrolysis of waste tire have potential to recover high valued byrnproducts in an efficient manner.
