The Technology
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.
The homepage shows what goes in and what comes out. This is the mechanism in between.
Feedstock enters a sealed chamber held under vacuum. Nothing is burned and nothing vents; the process is closed to the atmosphere.
Instead of high-temperature cracking, TiPs uses low-temperature thermal mechanical depolymerization to separate 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. Non-condensable 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.
Every incumbent route destroys value: landfills strand it, incinerators and boilers burn it, pyrolysis downgrades it. TiPs is built on the opposite premise.
Combustion and incineration destroy the material to extract its energy. Pyrolysis cracks it at 400 to 800C into lower-value byproducts. TiPs preserves the material: the carbon comes out as carbon, at grade.
100% of every ton of feedstock becomes product, recovered water, or sold residue. Every fraction is sold or used in the process. Nothing goes to landfill.
TiPs deploys as modular units at the feedstock source: a tire supply, a landfill, a mine mouth. Projects start from a single 48 ton-per-day unit, and units are added as feedstock and demand grow. No giant central plant required.
The same process handles tires, municipal solid waste, and coal. Each project is engineered from the assay of the actual feedstock, and the outputs follow its composition.
A typical project pairs what a partner already has, a feedstock supply, a site, or an offtake need, with what SENS brings: the TiPs technology, project development, delivery through its operating network, and capital mobilized through the ISCM structure.
Every project is built on the assay of the actual feedstock. The composition of what you have determines the outputs, the configuration, and the business case.
The project economics, structure, and timeline are laid out in each project brochure and refined against the feedstock, the site, and the offtake in your region.
Facilities start from a single 48 ton-per-day TiPs unit and scale by adding units, delivered with SENS's network: construction with Cissell Mueller, power development with Foundation Power.
Units run 24/7 on continuous feed, self-powered after startup, with every fraction of the feedstock leaving as product, recovered water, or sold residue.
The outputs follow the feedstock. Explore each project type, including what a ton of that feedstock becomes and how TiPs compares with the incumbents.
End-of-life tires become tread-grade N330 carbon black, high-aromatic oil, and closed-loop process gas.
A city's sorted waste becomes industrial carbon, fuel oil, and potable water, with nothing sent to landfill.
Run-of-mine coal becomes solid industrial carbon, fuel oil, and process gas, before any combustion.
TiPs runs in front of the boiler: 400 MW of cleaner baseload power plus exportable fuel oil from one line.
