Technical Partnership For Scrap Tyre Pyrolysis

Opportunity Summary

Dear Sir,
 
Our company is engaged in the trading of refined petroleum products (specifically diesel, kerosene and gasoline). However, we seek to invest in a value-added business that will have multiple benefits for our society. Therefore, we have short-listed scrap tyre pyrolysis as a possible business venture. For this purpose, I have travelled to South Africa and China and have had several meetings with potential equipment manufacturers and suppliers. Even though we have seen a number of experienced equipment suppliers, we have not met a company that has convinced us that they can provide us with the required technical and business support that would increase our chances of succeeding in the venture.
 
We are therefore hoping we can find this “partner” in your company.
 
Nigeria is divided into 35 States but only one of these States (Lagos State, where we are head quartered) has a structured institution and mechanism to actively collect and store scrap tyres. No company or institution is involved in the recycling of these potentially hazardous and non-degradable materials. We are therefore geared to be the first company in West Africa to engage in this business. Our aim is to have our first plant running before the end of 2011.
 
Nigeria has over a hundred million of scrap tyres discarded indiscriminately across the nation and the number is climbing. We have set up collection centers in 3 locations and are setting up more in other location in anticipation of our recycle plant.
 
Our main emphasis is on the oils and Carbon Black that can be obtained from the process. We are also more interested in the processing of not just base Carbon Black but high quality material that stands better chances of International acceptance at premium prices.
 
Our aim is to be able to process a minimum of 30 tons of scrap tyres per day.
