Turning tar-based roofing into safe, high-value resources
When roofing layer reach the end of their lifespan, many still view them as waste. At Blue Phoenix, we see them as raw materials waiting to be reborn. Our expert processes handle tar- and bitumen-based roofing felt, safely recovering minerals and other components and returning them to the economy as certified, reusable materials.
Our process
We process tar-roofing to a high grade.
Tar-roofing felt often contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In the thermal treatment plant, these PAHs are completely destroyed by high-temperature incineration. The hot flue gases released in this incineration process are used to generate steam and electricity, just as they are when processing tar-containing asphalt. Then they are cleaned in the flue gas cleaning system. The energy content in the tar-roofing felt also provides a significant saving in the consumption of natural gas required for the thermal cleaning of asphalt. The recovery of energy and its beneficial use leads to huge reductions in CO2 emissions.
Global reach, regional expertise
