outside normal landfill hours , then accommodation will be sought from SWDD . The JV recognizes that such accommodation may not be granted . Pyrolysis Products The pyrolysis unit will produce three products from the tire feedstock : pyrolysis oil , char and scrap steel . The JV will perform sampling and testing to demonstrate marketability of the pyrolysis products . Pyrolysis oil is condensed from pyrolysis gas in the air-cooled -water, closed - loop heat exchanger and gravity fed into an integral accumulation tank . From that tank , the oil is pumped into a tanker for storage and transport . The demonstration project will produce up to 70 , 000 gallons of pyrolysis oil . Char is recovered from the back end of the pyrolysis unit by a conveyor and placed into sealable tote .bags that will be used to store and transport the char . Connex boxes will be used for weather- protected temporary storage of the packaged char . The demonstration project will produce up to 150 tons of char . There is uncertainty at this time and at this scale of operation that a market can be found for this small amount of char . Therefore , SWDD may be requested to provide disposal for any unsold char from the pyrolysis project pending demonstration testing by the JV that the char is acceptable to SWDD for landfill disposal . Applicable disposal fees will be paid by the JV . Scrap steel is magnetically separated from the char and will be conveyed into appropriate containers for storage and transport. The demonstration project will produce up to 120 tons of scrap steel . All products to be transported off-site will be weighed at the SWDD scale . ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY The JV will be responsible for acquiring air emissions and other permits associated with the demonstration project . It is not anticipated that any permit held by SWDD for the landfill operation will need to be modified to accommodate the tire pyrolysis demonstration . During the demonstration , emissions and performance data will be collected by the JV for the purpose of meeting environmental requirements and designing the commercial scale operations . A site - specific Health and Safety Plan ( HASP ) will be prepared for the demonstration project . This plan will address hazard analysis and mitigation for worker activities and possible exposures , accident/incident procedures and reporting , and additional health and safety requirements included in 29 CFR 1910 . 120 and 1926 .
