Detailed Engineering Design Study for New to Be Build Devulcanization Plant

Due to the growing number of scrap tires, its related environmental impact of improper scrap tires’ management, and the circular economy concept, devulcanization plants are growing all over the world to reproduce high-quality rubber that can be reused in high-quality tire manufacturing. Therefore, growing concerns are the effective & efficient facility layout, environmental policy for the devulcanization plant, air treatment systems to minimize the environmental impact as well as the other sustainable development concept to achieve carbon net-zero due to the devulcanization. The main objective of this project work is to provide engineering research on these growing concerns; regenerative energy source & carbon net-zero policy and automation & robotics roadmap towards the advanced manufacturing direction. For establishing a new devulcanized plant, this project will provide an end-to-end solution from raw material storage to finished goods storage and sustainable manufacturing concept to reach carbon net-zero.
