Oil
Recovered from condensed vapours. Its use depends on analysis and any further treatment required for the intended application.
Give waste
a productive next step.
Africa Nova Energy develops recycling and recovery facilities around the materials you have, the products you can recover and the markets they need to reach.
The recovery chain
- Identified waste streams
- Sorting & preparation
- Appropriate treatment
- Qualified recovered materials
A complete facility.
Every stage considered.
Start with the waste.
Build the recovery chain.
A recovery project needs a route from incoming material to a usable output.
We bring together feedstock assessment, collection, preparation, treatment and potential markets, alongside the land, equipment, construction workforce and operating team.
Tyres, plastics, wood, paper, cardboard and photovoltaic equipment require different routes. Sorting, shredding, material recycling, reuse and thermal conversion are assessed against each stream. The process follows the material.
Thermolysis & pyrolysis.
The process in context.
Thermal treatment is one stage in a complete industrial recovery chain.
Thermolysis and pyrolysis describe related approaches to breaking down prepared material using heat with little or no oxygen. The reactor configuration determines the process used.
For tyres, MSR Environnement describes mechanical preparation, separation of steel and textiles, then conversion of the rubber fraction. Vapour condensation and treatment of the solid fraction complete the chain.
Receive
Identify and trace incoming batches.
Prepare
Shred and separate components.
Convert
Heat the suitable feedstock.
Recover
Condense and handle output fractions.
Qualify
Test products and establish suitable outlets.
Carbon-rich solids
A solid fraction requiring treatment and qualification before any potential use as recovered carbon black.
Steel
Separated during preparation and directed to metal recycling.
Process gas
May contribute heat to the reactor after appropriate recovery and conditioning.
Technical reference: MSR Environnement — tyre thermolysis. MSR describes its project as in development. This process description does not present an Africa Nova Energy facility as already operational.
Turnkey means
thinking it all through.
A complete project brings together the site, the equipment, the works and the people. We organise that scope with you and define who is responsible for each part.
Scope, budget and schedule are agreed for each project. Land rights depend on the relevant agreements; permits remain subject to the competent authorities.
Site, studies & budget
Find the right site
Identify and shortlist land, assess access and availability, and coordinate the arrangements for purchase or use. Bring location constraints into the plan before they become construction problems.
Establish feasibility and requirements
Characterise waste streams, assess treatment routes and plant layout, plan emissions and residue management, and prepare the studies and permit applications.
Build the project’s financial framework
Define capital and operating costs, delivery milestones and responsibilities. Work through the proposed financial structure with the relevant stakeholders.
Equipment & people
Select and deliver the equipment
Coordinate suppliers, sorting and preparation lines, treatment units, handling systems, spare parts and the logistics needed to bring them to site.
Bring the workforce together
Organise local recruitment, mobilise workers and technicians, select construction contractors, and plan site supervision and safety training.
Construction & commissioning
Prepare the site to function
Plan civil works, internal roads, reception and weighing areas, separate storage zones, utilities, workshops, offices, women’s and men’s changing rooms, sanitation and rest areas.
Install, test and commission
Integrate the treatment line, run trials with the selected feedstock, adjust the process and verify recovered products before plant acceptance.
Operations & handover
Equip the team for operation
Organise operating team recruitment, procedures, maintenance, essential spares and training. Support start-up and transfer the documentation and skills needed for ongoing operation.
A sound project
starts with sound inputs.
Reliable feedstock and viable outlets matter as much as the treatment equipment.
- Feedstock: composition, volumes, seasonal variation and traceability.
- Site: land, access, water, power, storage and material flows.
- Products: required quality, testing, packaging and prospective industrial users.
- Environment: emissions capture and treatment, residues, safety and permits.
A considered path to operation.
Define
Waste streams, volumes and potential markets.
Assess
Land, feasibility and permitting requirements.
Organise
Budget, equipment and the delivery team.
Build
Construction, installation and testing.
Transfer
Procedures, training and maintenance knowledge.
