TyreNova Advanced Tire Pyrolysis

TyreNova, Klean Industries’ proprietary tire pyrolysis platform, pairs a kiln, quench, and thermal afterburner into a continuous process that yields recovered carbon black and fuel oil — now scaling globally through a strategic alliance with KBR.

Tire pyrolysis has historically suffered from batch inefficiency and inconsistent output quality. TyreNova is Klean Industries’ answer to both: an advanced, continuous tire pyrolysis technology engineered to deliver commercial-grade recovered carbon black and recovered fuel oil at plant scale.

The TyreNova Architecture

TyreNova’s triadic design — kiln, quench, and thermal afterburner — manages the three critical stages of tire pyrolysis as a continuous flow rather than a batch process. The kiln thermally decomposes end-of-life tires in an oxygen-free environment. The quench stabilizes the hot product stream, controlling the quality of the recovered carbon black. The thermal afterburner handles the gas fraction, recycling energy back into the process. The result is steady-state production, not the start-stop cycles that plague earlier systems.

A Global Deployment Alliance

In 2025, Klean Industries and KBR announced a strategic alliance to deploy TyreNova worldwide. KBR — a global engineering and licensing leader — leads sales, marketing, engineering, and delivery, while Klean drives the technology. The arrangement gives TyreNova the engineering depth and global reach of a major EPC partner, a signal that advanced tire pyrolysis has crossed into mainstream industrial deployment.

What TyreNova Produces

• Recovered carbon black (rCB) — a drop-in replacement for virgin carbon black in rubber, plastics, and inks
• Recovered fuel oil (rFO) — a low-carbon marine and industrial fuel, and renewable-diesel feedstock
• Steel — recovered from tire wire and returned to the metals market

Why It Matters

As end-of-life tire volumes grow under extended-producer-responsibility rules, the facilities that can process tires continuously — and sell every output into established commodity markets — will define the sector. TyreNova is engineered for exactly that outcome.
