Pyrum receives official operating permit for the expansion of the main plant in Dillingen/Saar

• The necessary official approval has already been obtained three months before the official start of commissioning.
• Important for future rollout: Pyrum series plants are approvable
• Significant expansion of current capacities initiated via first joint ventures

Dillingen / Saar, 5 October 2022 - Pyrum Innovations AG (“Pyrum”) has received the official state approval notice for the operation of production lines 2 and 3 at its main plant in Dillingen, Saarland. Already three months before the start of the official commissioning, all questions from the authorities could be clarified, so that the operating permit was granted. This is a major milestone for the company, as it means that Pyrum's series plants have been proven to be approvable. Consequently, no official restrictions are expected for future plants.

Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum Innovations AG: “We are very pleased to have received the final operating permit so early. The approval is important for our ambitious rollout plans, as we also assume positive cooperation with the authorities for our future plants - for example, for our joint venture REVALIT in Straubing or the ten planned plants we want to build with UNITANK.”

Pyrum is currently expanding its industrial plant in Dillingen by two more production lines to a total of three pyrolysis reactors as well as the associated equipment, such as a shredder and a pelletising plant. The official approval now granted relates to the operation of the Pyrum pyrolysis plant with the two new reactors and a throughput of around two tonnes of end-of-life tyres (ELT) per hour, the storage of a further 160,000 litres of oil and 500 tonnes of ELT, as well as the operation of a further shredder plant with a capacity of up to six tonnes of tyres per hour. Despite general delivery problems, the construction of the pyrolysis plant is going according to plan and Pyrum has secured the timely delivery of the plant components thanks to the great efforts of the internal project coordinators. The loop checks, which include the testing of all installed cables and sensors and are usually the last steps in the construction process, are scheduled for December and commissioning will start immediately afterwards. The assembly of the new shredder plant will start in the next few days and will take about four to six weeks, so that it can be put into operation in November.
