Simulation and Optimization of Diesel Quality and Yield from Waste Tire Pyrolysis Using Aspen Plus

This study focuses on the simulation and optimization of the pyrolysis process of waste tires using Aspen Plus software. The primary objectives were to enhance the quality and production rate of the extracted diesel while minimizing the number of distillation trays to reduce capital investment costs. Initial kinetic data and simulation parameters were derived from existing literature. Although the quality of the produced diesel met some standards, challenges arose in achieving optimal characteristics. Specifically, attempts to balance density and distillation range resulted in trade-offs, leading to a focus on maximizing the distillation range. The findings indicate that while the optimization of diesel quality was partially successful, further adjustments are necessary to achieve the desired standards. This research contributes to the understanding of waste tire pyrolysis and offers insights for future improvements in the process.
