Abstract

Recycling of waste automobile tyres is of great interest today, because recycling offers potential products for further use in different applications. Tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO) is one of the principal products obtained when waste automobile tyres are subjected to pyrolysis process. This paper describes some possible methods of using TPO as an alternative fuel in a direct injection (DI) diesel engine. The results indicated that TPO-based fuel blended with diesel fuel (DF) improvement by desulphurisation and distillation gave better results in terms of combustion, performance and emission parameters than those of diesel fuel operation. But, TPO can be used only up to 90% in the form of blend with DF, even after improving its fuel quality. The TPO can be used solely as a fuel in the diesel engine by running the engine on a dual fuel mode. The combustion, performance and emission parameters of the engine run on TPO-based fuels on different methods are analysed, compared with those of diesel fuel operation in the same engine and presented in this paper.
