Portugal is currently at the forefront of the European Green Deal, aiming for climate neutrality by 2050. The management of End-of-Life Tires (ELTs) has become a critical focal point for the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) and organizations like Valorpneu. As the country shifts from traditional mechanical shredding to high-value chemical recycling, the Continuous Waste Tire Pyrolysis Plant (Screw running model) has emerged as the definitive solution for large-scale industrial applications in regions like Lisbon, Porto, and Sines.
Unlike batch systems, the screw running model offers the 24/7 operational stability required by Portuguese industrial parks. This technology aligns perfectly with the PERSU 2020+ (Strategic Plan for Urban Waste), providing a sustainable path to transform "rubber waste" into high-grade fuel oil, combustible gas, and carbon black.
Focusing on waste-to-energy and waste tire pyrolysis technology, Huayuan Tech was founded in 1968. With over five decades of engineering evolution, our company covers an expansive area of 209,335 square meters, with a dedicated plant area of 98,680 square meters. Our workforce exceeds 500 employees, where engineering and technical personnel account for 34% of the total number of employees, ensuring that every Continuous Waste Tire Pyrolysis Plant we supply to Portugal meets the highest European safety standards.
We possess a complete A-class boiler and pressure vessel manufacturing suite, coupled with advanced testing equipment. Our credentials include the United States ASME certification and the ISO9001, ISO14001, and OHSAS18001 three-system certifications. This level of authority and reliability is what distinguishes our "Screw Running Model" as the most stable and efficient in the Portuguese market.
In the heavy industrial hub of Sines, our screw-model pyrolysis plants integrate with existing refinery ecosystems. The pyrolysis oil produced can be used as a high-quality fuel for local maritime or industrial burners, reducing the dependency on imported fossil fuels.
Recovered carbon black from our plants serves as a vital input for the rubber and plastic industries in Central Portugal. Additionally, refined syngas can power greenhouses, demonstrating a perfect circular economy loop for Portuguese agriculture.
Investors in Portugal can leverage the Portugal 2030 funding programs for sustainable innovation. Our plants are designed to meet all environmental compliance audits, facilitating easier access to "Green Credits" and municipal tax benefits.
The pyrolysis industry in Portugal is moving towards automation and digitization. Our latest models feature AI-driven monitoring systems that optimize the heating curve of the screw reactor based on the specific composition of Portuguese waste tires (which often vary in steel and textile content). This "Smart Pyrolysis" approach reduces energy consumption by up to 20% compared to traditional models.
Furthermore, there is a rising demand for Semi-Continuous Rotary Kiln systems for specific feedstock types like rubber powder. Our engineering team provides thermal equipment system integration and contract energy management, helping Portuguese firms transition from waste disposal costs to profit centers.
With the continuous development of enterprises, Huayuan Tech has now become a premier entity engaged in boiler, pressure vessel, and waste tire and plastic scrap pyrolysis machine development. We offer manufacturing, sales, consulting services, and investment and financing, supplemented by energy-efficient use. Holding a national A-class boiler license and A2-class pressure vessel manufacturing license, we are your trusted partner in Portugal for advanced thermal equipment system integration.
