Unisphere licenses pyrolysis technology from Metso.(Brief Article)

European Rubber Journal, October, 2002

[] Toronto, Canada--Unisphere Waste Conversion Ltd has completed negotiations on a 10-year agreement with Finnish machinery firm Metso Corp for exclusive North American rights to Metso's patented tyre pyrolysis system.

Toronto-based Unisphere put its own pyrolysis technology in mothballs because Metso's system was superior, according to Unisphere technical director Bruce Jank.

"We went with Metso because ... they looked at the deficiencies in previous systems and designed around those deficiencies," Jank explained.

Unisphere will break ground for its first pyrolysis facility JR Belledune, New Brunswick, in spring 2003, with a projected completion date of November 2003.
