Gasification of used tires in fluidized bed reactor to produce energy sources

The growth of the big cities, industrialization and goods consumptions, have forced the civilization to live with more intensive environmental degradation process, threatening both the nature and energy resources, besides the bigger production of gas, liquid and solid wastes. Any energy planning aims to minimize the wastes production as well as to stimulate both the waste and the sub-products re-utilization in the several industrial processes. In order to contribute to the solution of those problems, it is presented in this work, a proposal of a reactor which uses scrap tires to fuel oil using the gasification process.
