2004 – 2005  Tyre-Recycling Project,Vorkapic co, Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro  Senior Consultant

Pilot plant recycling facility design, commissioning and testing for development of environmentally acceptable technology to convert scrap tires into industrially usable products. Scrap shredded tyres were pyrolysed in a batch pyrolysis unit - into diesel fuel and liquefied petroleum gas.The derived diesel fuel was analysed for fuel properties, including calorific value, elemental analysis, sulphur, nitrogen, chloride/fluoride content. The air pollution was monitored by the measurement of emissions of NOx, SO2, particulates and total unburned hydrocarbons.
