Recycled tyre-to-oil meets standards

US firm Green EnviroTech Holdings (GETH) says its recycled tyre and plastic to oil samples surpassed all of the required specifications and qualifications required by refineries enabling the oil produced to be sold commercially as crude oil.
The last round of tests confirmed that with the installation of the additional equipment that the samples were processed through, the oil was well within the limits set by refineries in order for them to purchase the oil. GETH utilised Intertek, a global testing laboratory that also works directly with the oil industry, and Cempro, to test samples over the past six months.

GETH is working partnership with Ebbros Energy Partners with the latter to develop the tyre and plastic to oil plants and lease the same back to GETH. Ebbros will also purchase all oil produced at the plants, which is estimated to be in the region of 10,700 barrels/month at each site.
