Frequently Asked Questions
Where does McKinstry Reklaim operate?
Our existing facility is located at the Port of Morrow in Boardman, Oregon. The plant is fully permitted and became operational in 2008, and also serves as our primary technology research and development center. We are completing process and products testing now, and plan to start-up continuous operations by the end of 2009
or early 2010.
What is the McKinstry Reklaim tire pyrolysis process?
Tire pyrolysis is the use of heat in the relative absence of oxygen to recycle scrap tires back into
their valuable raw materials. The McKinstry Reklaim patent pending technology recycles scrap tires into three marketable products: oils, carbon black and steel. Our process also generates energy we can use to help power our facilities. There is no burning or combustion associated with our process, so greenhouse gas pollution isn’t a problem at plants using our technology.
Where do you get your scrap tire rubber?
We get our scrap tire rubber from tire aggregators (businesses that collect scrap tires from tire retailers).
Does the McKinstry Reklaim facility meet environmental and safety standards?
Yes. We have spent a number of years developing our closed loop process and designing facilities that are good for the environment and safe for people. Our Boardman, Oregon facility has undergone a rigorous regulatory review, and we fully comply with and have received all necessary permits from the State of Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Port of Morrow and City of Boardman.
What does McKinstry Reklaim do to protect the environment and community?
Our facility has a Standard Air Contaminant Discharge Permit from the State of Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. We use a closed loop process that does not include any burning or combustion. As a result, our emissions are negligible and we expect to remain well below overall emissions levels allowed by our permit.
