Project details

In Farmsum, near Delfzijl, in the Groningen Seaports port area, Circtec has built a tire recycling facility. Annually, over 20 million discarded tires will be converted into chemicals, biofuel for shipping, and carbon black through extreme heat (pyrolysis). TSC has built six freestanding silos for the storage of carbon black, a filler for new tires. Constructed entirely of stainless steel, the two largest cells are an impressive 6.0 x 6.0 meters with a wall height of 8.2 meters. The hoppers, at 6.645 meters tall, are also impressive.

The CIRCTEC project is a prime example of the versatility of square silos and clearly demonstrates the added value of TSC Silos within complex projects. This project was special for TSC for several reasons. For example, we contributed to the construction of the largest car tire recycling plant in the world, a facility that reduces the total annual CO₂ emissions of the Dutch chemical industry by an impressive 5%. The largest silos in this project are impressively large, with cell dimensions of 6 x 6 meters and constructed entirely of stainless steel. What makes this project extra special is that TSC was involved from the very beginning. Together with CIRCTEC and Bilfinger, we collaborated on the development of the storage silos for carbon black powder, focusing on functionality, sustainability, and reliability.

Procedure

Procedure The regulations of the industry, the properties of the material, the geographical conditions of the construction site, the weather conditions in the region… we leave nothing to chance. We therefore work according to the TSC roadmap. This way, we work efficiently and do not overlook any detail. A solid approach for a solid result.

Customized silo in 7 steps
  • In the first step, we discuss the requirements, capacity needs, external conditions and preconditions. What challenges should we take into account. Result: a programme of requirements; our basis.
  • Our concrete advice for fulfilling the need. A construction concept, with a tailor-made proposal according to the programme of requirements, complete with a competitive offer and time schedule. Result: The start of our further cooperation.
  • Wind pressure, snow load, internal weight, regulations, process flow and other important starting points. Our designers make their calculations with these facts in mind. Result: a reliable construction calculation.
  • The new silo plant is now being designed down to the smallest detail and worked out in workshop drawings. All details are discussed together. Resulr: After your approval, we will start production.
  • Reliability is our most important pillar. Our construction planning is therefore well thought out. We take into account the transport route and its obstacles, the (often challenging) situation at the construction site and the local capacity. Result: final planning with delivery date.
  • Led by a TSC supervisor, our experienced assembly team gets to work. We keep in regular contact about the progress in the meantime. With knowledge of local regulations and the right permits, we work safely and competently. Result: A carefully constructed new silo ready for use!
  • Every completion is a moment of celebration. We are happy to evaluate the project together. Of course, because we want to see our work in action, but also to learn from practical experience and fine-tune details where necessary. Result: a long-term partnership.
