The Thermal-static internal Pyrophinic system (TiPs) is a sealed, low-temperature, vacuum-driven thermal mechanical depolymerization process. Instead of burning a feedstock for its energy, it recovers the materials the feedstock already contains and returns each as a saleable product.
TiPs separates a carbon-based material into its constituents, not one specific waste stream. The project types below are proven at scale, and the same low-temperature process extends to almost any carbon-based feedstock.
Feedstock enters a sealed chamber held under vacuum. Nothing is burned and nothing vents; the process is closed to the atmosphere.
Low-temperature thermal mechanical depolymerization separates the feedstock into its constituents: carbon, hydrocarbons, water, and minerals.
Carbon leaves as a solid product. Hydrocarbons condense into fuel oil and solvents. Moisture is captured as water. Gas is routed back to power the unit.
The unit runs on continuous feed, 24/7, powered by its own process gas after a one-time grid startup. Zero external fuel at steady state.
The system is modular by design. A project can start with a single processor and scale to a larger feedstock center or a regional deployment.
Every incumbent route destroys value: landfills strand it, incinerators and boilers burn it, pyrolysis downgrades it. TiPs is built on the opposite premise.
| Route | What happens to the material | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Landfill | Stranded and unused | Nothing recovered |
| Incineration | Burned for heat; the material is destroyed | Ash and emissions |
| Pyrolysis, 400 to 800°C | Cracked into lower-value byproducts | Downgraded output |
| TiPs | Preserved and separated at low temperature | Carbon at grade, fuel oil, water |
100% of every tonne becomes product, recovered water, or sold residue. Nothing goes to landfill.
Projects start from a single processor at the feedstock source and add processors as demand grows.
The same process handles tires, municipal solid waste, and coal. Outputs follow the assay of what you have.
