| Abstract | ||
| Management of waste is a comprehensive challenge that effects the sustainability of eco-friendly and economic improvements. This work intended to design a prototype to produce fuel oil from waste tires by Pyrolysis process. Thus, we are looking for a new source of energy to have a benefit from waste tires which is a hazardous waste, and it causes a real problem for health and environment. In the development of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia which exactly what our government considers, and places as one of the biggest goals that is to find another source for energy in their vision 2030 for kingdom economy’s future. The prototype design is a batch reactor, and a try to achieve the best yield of fuel oil product. The result showed that, the average density of the produced fuel oil is 0.783 g/cc, and it is close to the diesel range, which is between 0.8 to 0.95 g/cc, also it is near the range of natural gasoline, which is between 0.711 to 0.737 g/cc. Consequently, the produced fuel oil is comparable with the diesel and natural gas. | ||
