Tourian Limited

Suite 19, City Quadrant 11 Waterloo Street, Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom | Tire and Rubber Recycling

Tourian Limited was established to bring to the UK market a novel process for converting End of Life waste into useable fuels, waxes and chemicals. Tourian will be looking to research & develop the Australian-based firm Licella patented Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor (CAT-HTR) technology. The CAT-HTR has been used at pilot plant status to successfully convert biomass and End of Life Plastic into petrochemical fractions. Tourian intend to further develop the CAT-HTR to break down the rubber components into petrochemical fractions.

Innovation

Tourian Limited (Tourian) are developing a new, innovative technology to convert the rubber components of End of Life Tyres (ELTs) into useful chemicals, waxes and fuels. Tyres make up approximately 50% of global rubber consumption. 1.7 billion new tyres are produced each year and 1 billion tyres become redundant. The End of Life Tyres (ELTs) are a valuable resource of renewable materials and energy.

Although recycling and recovery of ELTs is widespread, at >95% in the EU, almost 50% of this total is through energy recovery using tyre derived fuel (TDF). This is less environmentally favourable than reuse of components or recycling into other products.

Tourian will use a unique, patented hyrothermal upgrading platform, the Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor (Cat- HTR), to convert the rubber ELTs into useful and saleable chemical products. This technology has already been proven for the conversion of plastics and non-fuel biomass into crude products and Tourian plan to further refine the technology for eventual commercial production of products using ELTs as the feedstock.
