Ancillary equipment to support the operation of the tire pyrolysis unit includes the <br /> following significant items : <br /> - A punch press will be used to achieve the required material size for feed to <br /> the pyrolysis unit . <br /> - A conveyor will be used to move cut tire feedstock to the pyrolysis unit ; <br /> - A front-end loader ( rubber tire equipped ) will be used for management of tire <br /> feedstock and for movement of solid pyrolysis products including char and <br /> scrap steel . <br /> - Oil tankers will be used to collect oil from pumped from the pyrolysis unit <br /> accumulator tank and transport product oil off-site . <br /> - An output conveyor will move char and steel from the discharge of the <br /> pyrolysis unit to storage containers . <br /> - A generator fueled by LP gas will be used to provide electric power to the <br /> process equipment . <br /> - LP gas cylinders will be used during unit startup and for flaring excess <br /> pyrolysis gas . <br /> Feedstock <br /> The demonstration unit will process up to 60 , 000 tires during the demonstration <br /> period . Tires for the demonstration unit will be made available by SWDD <br /> ( approximately 10 , 000 tires ) and from sources arranged by the JV for the <br /> balance of tires needed . <br /> Waste tires provided by SWDD will be worked directly from the existing storage <br /> pile . Waste tires provided by the JV will be brought into the SWDD Facility by <br /> truck , across the SWDD scale for weighing , and directly to the SWDD site <br /> designated for the demonstration process . These tires will be off- loaded into a <br /> new storage pile adjacent to the SWDD tire storage pile . <br /> Tires will be transported by front-end loader to the punch press , and punch -cut to <br /> a size appropriate for feedstock to the pyrolysis unit . Tire chips will be moved by <br /> a conveyor from the punch press to the feed hopper on the tire pyrolysis unit . <br /> Staffing and Flours of Operation <br /> The tire pyrolysis demonstration operations will be supported by staff provided by <br /> the JV . SWDD will not need to provide any staff to this project . JV staffing will <br /> include a management function , direct site supervision , an operator and a helper <br /> during production , and mechanics and other craft personnel as needed during <br /> equipment setup/takedown and to maintain pyrolysis operations . <br /> Hours of operation for the demonstration ( including equipment setup and <br /> takedown , and production operations) will coincide with SWDD hours of <br /> operation for the landfill .
