Master's Research: Fractional Condensation and Desulfurization of Tire-Derived Oil

This project involved the operation and analysis of a pilot-scale pyrolysis plant designed to convert waste tires into fuel-grade oil.

I investigated the fractional condensation process to separate distinct oil fractions and applied desulfurization methods to reduce impurities in condensed products.

This work contributes to cleaner waste-to-energy conversion techniques and improved product quality for downstream fuel applications.

Core responsibilities

• Operated and monitored pilot-scale pyrolysis runs for waste tire feedstock.
• Investigated fractional condensation conditions to separate targeted oil fractions.
• Applied desulfurization approaches to reduce sulfur-related impurities.
• Performed product analysis and interpreted quality outcomes across fractions.
• Documented findings to support cleaner waste-to-energy process development.
