Fulcrum Environmental Solutions is a private Canadian Corporation with its head office located in Edmonton, Alberta. The company has a manufacturing and commercial test facility in Tyler, Texas, USA. Fulcrum was formed in 2011 after acquiring the world IP rights to a unique Thermal Static internal Pyrophinic System (TiPs) capable of converting hydrocarbon-rich waste and resource materials into valuable refined products. Fulcrum is currently led by a team of experienced international business and technical professionals working to unlock the unlimited potential of TIPs.

Fulcrum Environmental Solutions (Fulcrum) has a unique “green” technology pivotal in recycling waste and processing resources by converting hydrocarbon-rich feedstock into valuable refined products. The technology, called TiPs (Thermal-static internal Pyrophinic system), is a breakthrough methodology over existing processes by combining several hydrocarbon extraction principles such as thermal distillation, electrolysis, catalytic refining and mechanical motion.  TiPs is capable of processing a variety of materials including waste tires, oilfield & spill response waste, municipal waste, coal, oil sand, oil shale rock, medical waste and biomass.  The process does not use solvents, catalysts or require excessive heating and can be operated with almost zero environmental impact.

TiPs captures +99% of the hydrocarbons in feedstock material, creating three product streams:

1. A unique multi component aromatic oil that contains high percentages of limonene, toluene and xylene
2. High grade carbon black or solids
3. Off gas that can be captured and reused to maintain the process heat

A Unique Process

Thermal-static internal Pyrophinic system (TiPs) is a methodology that combines several existing sciences into and single unique processing technology. It has the proven ability to convert carbon-based matter such as scrap tires, petroleum based waste products and primary resource materials into value-added product streams.

By combining elements of electrolysis, thermal distillation, refining principles and catalytic relationships, the technology will remove greater than 99% of all hydrocarbons and convert them into oils, dry carbon based solids and process gas. TiPs does not use solvents, no addition of catalysts, no excessive heating and can be operated with almost zero environmental impact.
