Mission
Our mission is to prove that the protection of the environment is not in contradiction with the development of the Energy Industry and in the closest future it will not be the main dilemma of mankind.
We are sure that the mental potential of the people is the key to the solution to energy sustainability. We have directed all our recourses towards the near future where energy and nature will be the two natural poles of humankind.
PYROLYSIS TECHNOLOGY
Circular innovation
Since 2008 MODUL LTD has been developing pyrolysis technology through which various types of waste such as End of Life Tyres (ELTs), waste biomass, waste plastics and other types of waste, become sustainable products. Output examples are carbon black and pyrolysis oil.
The technology developed by MODUL LTD is distinguished with:
- Fully continuous and automated 24/7 process
- CE and ATEX certification
- Low emissions
- Innovative reactor design
- Minimized number of workers for plant operation
Our method contributes to the circular economy and to sustainable innovation, significantly reducing CO₂.
MODUL LTD has developed, tested and operates the first commercial continuous 24/7 tyre pyrolysis plant in Europe.
Over 20 000 hours of R&D work have been invested in creating the technology, involving more than 30 engineers with ample experience in chemical processes and more than 20 international laboratories.
MODUL LTD is leading international family-owned company with strong know-how and owner of the intellectual property rights for its technologies.

Projects
Experimental installation
2008 - R&D involving an experimental installation for the pyrolysis of waste. The waste streams that were tested in the unit are ELTs, waste biomass and waste plastics. The location of the installation is in Bulgaria.
Tyre Pyrolysis Installation - Bulgaria
2010 - R&D leading to the building of a pilot, fully continuous, commercial tyre pyrolysis plant with a capacity of 2 200 tons of tyre shred (2 500 tons of ELTs) per year and the production of 990 tons of recovered carbon black and 990 tons of pyrolysis oil. The location of the plant is in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria.
Tyre Pyrolysis Plant - Bulgaria
2012 – Execution of EPC and O&M contracts for building and operating a fully continuous tyre pyrolysis plant with a capacity of 7 500 tons tyre shred (9 000 tons of ELTs) per year, resulting in the production of 3 380 tons of “REVIBLACK” recovered carbon black, and of 3 380 tons of "REVOLEUM" pyrolysis oil. The plant location is in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria.
Carbon Black Treatment Unit - Greece
2014 – Execution of EPC and O&M contracts for building and operating a fully continuous Carbon Black Treatment Unit (CBTU). The CBTU processes carbon char derived from an ELTs pyrolysis process into recovered carbon black REVIBLACK. The plant has a capacity of 7 000 tons of recovered carbon black per year. The location of the plant is in Komotini, Greece.
Tyre Pyrolysis Plant - The Netherlands
2019 - Building and assembling of fully continuous tyre pyrolysis plant with a capacity of 7 500 tons tyre shred (9 000 tons of ELTs) per year, resulting in the production of 3 380 tons of recovered carbon black, and of 3 380 tons of pyrolysis oil. The plant location is Port of Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Test Pyrolysis Installation - Greece
2023 - Our new test facility in Greece is able to process different waste streams like ELTs, waste biomass, waste plastic, artificial sport fields etc. Our test installation has a capacity of 100kg input per hour. Our test facility is located in Komotini, Greece.
Tyre Pyrolysis Plant - Greece
2023 – Execution of EPC and O&M contracts for building and operating a fully continuous tyre pyrolysis plant with a capacity of 15 000 tons tyre shred (18 000 tons of ELTs) per year, resulting in the production of 6 800 tons of “REVIBLACK” recovered carbon black, and of 6 800 tons of "REVOLEUM" pyrolysis oil. The plant location is Komotini, Greece.
History
1990 MODUL LTD is registered on 16th of February 1990 in Stara Zagora as an independent company in the District Court with as its owner Grozyo Grozev. Its activity target is defined as the management of energy and the construction of installations. In October 1990 the company was converted into a LTD and obtained two additional partners. As its manager and chairman Grozyo Grozev was elected.
1991 On 22nd of March 1991 Modul LTD was registered in the Bulgarian chamber of commerce and industry in Sofia.
1990 - 1994 After transformation into a LTD, many construction and installation activities were realized in Stara Zagora and its region.
1994-2002 MODUL LTD became the main supplier for fuels to the “City Bus Company” of Stara Zagora. In this period MODUL LTD also became a significant supplier of fuels to other small and medium enterprises in Bulgaria.
2002 MODUL LTD joins the system of public transport on Stara Zagora with its own FBW busses, which it imports from Switzerland. Parallel to these activities the company is, since the beginning of 2002, focused on investigation, laboratory testing and development in the area of renewable energy resources, biofuel and the opportunities for their use in Bulgaria. For this activity MODUL LTD attracts scientists and experts with a background in renewable energy and develops its first projects. These projects are realized with the participation of leading Bulgarian companies and foreign as well as local investors.
2005 MODUL LTD started a project for biodiesel production. The biodiesel was produced from Used Cooking Oil (UCO) collected from Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and Turkey. The busses owned by MODUL were using biodiesel produced from this UCO waste.
2008 MODUL LTD developed, tested and operated a small pilot model for the production of synthetic fuels and chemicals from End of Life Tyres (ELTs).
2010 MODUL LTD developed, tested and operates the first commercial continuous tyre pyrolysis plant in Europe.
