Discarded tires need to put an end to indigenous oil refining

By a Chinese Rubber Industry Association Branch of the comprehensive utilization of waste rubber materials provided by the disclosure of an alarming fact: the use of discarded tires indigenous oil refining phenomenon was now spreading. A strong appeal to the industry as soon as possible to ban the endless harm, "Turkish oil refining."

It is understood that from the second half of 2002, the use of discarded tires in the phenomenon of indigenous oil refining Jinhua in Zhejiang Province along the outcrop, just a few years has spread to Shandong, Jiangxi, Hunan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Sichuan provinces. As the use of discarded tires refining of low investment, easy access to tax profits in some areas have had to do this kind of "waste to treasure" of the enterprise, and some areas will have a dozen.

Reflect the industry, "Turkish oil refining," there are two hazards:

First, waste resources and undermine economic order. Since the backward production equipment, "Turkish refinery" can not be layered for refining oil refining, production of more oil belongs to a variety of body oil mixture, oil-free and very poor standards at all. Rough statistics, "Turkish oil refinery," a furnace installed 7 to 8 tons of discarded tires, scrap tires every year to waste more than 400,000 tons. "Turkey refinery" in order to compete for raw materials, driving up prices of discarded tires, causing the price of used tires from 800 last year to 900 yuan / ton increase in the current 1200 to 1300 yuan / ton. Due to lack of raw materials, regular recycling business serious underemployment. Some enterprises have not discarded tires as a result of supply and forced the closure of production.

Second, harmful treatment, opening the Pandora's Box. "Turkish refinery" is harmful treatment: First, the serious pollution, a large amount of toxic smoke, air pollution, gas, smoke from the trees will wilt, in the process of production waste, waste oil will be seriously contaminated soil, sewage Drip water into the local Cuncaobusheng, soil organic matter have been seriously damaged, unable to resume farming; Second, seriously endangering the health of the workers, but there is a big security risk.

It is understood that the China Rubber Industry Association has issued an urgent appeal to the countries concerned: take the necessary measures as soon as possible to ban the "Turkish refinery"; requested the State Environmental Protection Administration, the use of discarded tires included in the indigenous refinery to shut down or ordered to stop production companies on the list ; Suggested that the state as soon as possible "waste tire recycling regulations," the source cut off, "Turkish oil refinery," the channel access to discarded tires.
