Thermolysis system and method for obtaining recovered carbon black and fuel from disused tires

A thermolysis system for obtaining recovered carbon black and fuel from disused tires, comprising:

• i. a rotating horizontal cylindrical thermolysis reactor, which is surrounded by an outer chamber, wherein the rotating horizontal cylindrical thermolysis reactor receives crushed material to be treated, to provide a gaseous stream of hydrocarbons, combustion gases and recovered carbon black;
• ii. a combustion chamber, which indirectly heats the rotating horizontal cylindrical thermolysis reactor with gases which are directed to the outer chamber;
• iii. a flash distillation container, which receives the gaseous stream of hydrocarbons from the rotating horizontal cylindrical thermolysis reactor, wherein a part of the gaseous stream of hydrocarbons is kept in the gas phase and another goes to liquid state;
• iv. a system of heat exchangers that receives the gas phase from the flash distillation container, wherein at least a portion of the gas phase is condensed and another portion is kept in a gaseous state, obtaining a two-phase current at the outlet of the system of heat exchangers;
• v. a phase separation tank that receives the two-phase current that leaves the system of heat exchangers, wherein a separation of condensate from gas occurs due to the difference in phases in the two-phase current, producing a first current in the gas phase and a second current in the liquid phase;
• vi. a battery of water seals that receives the first current, generating a third current that then feeds the combustion chamber to generate the necessary heat for the process to be self-sustaining;
• vii. a filtering system that receives the second current to obtain a filtered fuel stream;
• and
• viii. a container that stores at least a portion of the filtered fuel stream.
