Tyre Derived Fuel as an Alternative Fuel for CI Engines

The study presented in this article investigated the potential use of tyre derived fuel-diesel blends as an alternative low cost fuel for compression ignition engines. A short review was conducted on waste tyre pyrolysis technology and its benefits in addressing the waste tyre management while providing an alternative usable fuel for diesel engines. Crude oil obtained from slow pyrolysis of waste tyres was distillated and its respective fractions were characterized and blended with low sulphur diesel fuel for fuelling a stationery truck engine linked to a hydraulic dynamometer. The test results revealed that fuel fraction blends with low sulphur diesel can be used to fuel a conventional compression ignition engine, however special attention is required to manage the exhausts emission due to high concentration of sulphur dioxide. There is no doubt that tyre derived fuel has a potential as future alternative fuel for compression ignition engines.
