With excellent temparature control, flow rate and the right chemical scrubbers we can get that SO2 out. You're burning tires -- the fuel chemical and heat content mix is very stable. You can deign the burner and exhaust cleansing very efficiently.
Sure you can (and I have) but pretty soon you are spending so much for chemical treatment and scrubbing energy that it is no longer a viable energy source.
There is some island in the Pacific that uses old tires for their power production, but they are not held accountable for the H2SO4.
Indeed, there are several fossil fuel power plants that shred tires and burn them right along with the coal. One of our plants burns tires in accordance with the permit issued by the state.
Its a great additive fuel source and the existing exhaust filtering manages the pollution along with the PRB coal exhaust.
I'm not to sure a paper mill, if I read that right, would be a very good application though. I can't imagine them generating enough heat to burn everything properly.
