Cut Your Fuel Costs up to 30% with Tire-Derived Fuel
Calculate YOUR Savings
Use our interactive ROI/cost calculator (estimator) to input your current coal usage and cost and compare it to TDF. The calculator will provide estimated cost savings and payback period, helping you make an informed decision about switching to TDF. ***NOTE: Legal would not like this calculator, do you see any pitfalls in this approach?
Tire-Derived Fuel Cost Estimator
Disclaimer: This calculator provides an estimate based on standard assumptions and is for informational purposes only. Actual savings may vary depending on site-specific conditions and market factors.
Higher Energy Content
TDF provides approximately 25% more energy per pound than coal, offering 13,000–15,000 BTU/lb compared to coal’s 10,000–12,000 BTU/lb. Tire chips retain no moisture and deliver a higher caloric value to coal. This higher energy content means you need less fuel to achieve the same kiln output, consume less energy, and achieve better efficiency with CM Shredders today.
Lower Fuel Cost
TDF, at approximately $10 per ton, translates to immediate cost savings in your fuel budget. For instance, if your current coal costs are an equivalent $10 per ton, switching to TDF can yield substantial annual savings for a typical kiln. See our cost calculator above to find out how much you can save today.
Operational Benefits
TDF is a proven, reliable, and common fuel for cement kilns. High kiln temperatures ensure complete combustion with no smoke or odor and the tire wire becomes a useful ingredient in cement. Additionally, using TDF helps address the waste tire problem, contributing to corporate social responsibility efforts, potentially qualifying for government incentives promoting recycling and emissions reduction.
Environmental & Regulatory Advantages
Using TDF can lower NOx emissions by up to 30% under optimal conditions and reduce ash disposal costs. The steel in tires becomes part of the clinker, eliminating the need for ash disposal. This helps meet environmental targets and potentially reduces pollution control costs. Additionally this process consumes less urea and ammonia for NOx control.
