Abstract: A method of enhanced oil recovery for a crude oil production well includes the steps of pyrolyzing rubber materials including the steps of heating the rubber materials to form pyro-vapors, condensing the pyro-vapors to form pyro-gas and pyro-oil where the pyro-oil includes an inhibitor solution including non-polar hydrocarbons and polar hydrocarbons. The inhibitor solution is injected as an injection stream into the crude oil production well to facilitate production of crude oil from the crude oil production well.

Abstract: The present invention is a pyrolysis system including a furnace for batch pyrolysis processing. The pyrolysis system receives scrap tires or other organic waste materials as inputs and performs batch pyrolysis processing to produce pyro-products as outputs. The pyro-products produced include pyro-vapors from which are condensed pyro-oil with a surviving pyro-gas and also include pyro-solids, particularly pyro-carbon (carbon char) and steel. The pyro-oil includes an inhibitor.
