RESEARCH OF ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE OF PYROLYSIS BOILER FOR SPACE HEATING

Abstract

The result of active growth in the number of cars is an increase in the number of used car tires accumulated in Ukraine. An imperfect system of accounting and reporting does not allow to properly assess the state of the problem. At the same time, the problem of solid household waste management in Ukraine is urgent. By joining international organizations and implementing their regulatory framework into its legislation, Ukraine undertakes to strengthen measures to solve issues in the field of waste management. In particular, on July 9, 2023, the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" entered into force, which gives a start to the development of investment projects in waste management. The hierarchy of waste management includes five levels and is based on the priority of preventing the generation of waste, if it is not possible to prevent the generation, reuse should be applied, the next stage is recycling (processing), when recycling is not possible, other types of waste disposal are used, including operations with energy recovery or processing into materials to be used as fuel.

The problem of waste management, in particular such as used tires, is acute for Ukraine. The introduction of new legislative norms obliges to strengthen measures in the field of waste management and look for new solutions. The method of processing used automobile tires based on thermal destruction (pyrolysis) and its application in the construction of pyrolysis boilers are considered. The principle of operation of a pyrolysis boiler operating on used automobile tires using the thermal destruction method is considered. Mass concentrations emitted into the air during operation of the pyrolysis boiler were measured. As a result of the work, the results of measurements and the impact of the pyrolysis boiler on the environment were considered and analyzed.
