Processing route for ready-to-fire alternative fuels derived from waste fractions
Now, with the aid of simple technology for reducing the contaminant contents of all substitute-fuel fractions, an online conditioning process can be installed upstream of the kiln, simultaneously stabilizing the control system.
1 Introduction
For a long time now, alternative fuels in the form of RDF (refuse-derived fuel), more often referred to as SRF (solid-recovered/specified-recovered fuel), stemming from processed municipal and industrial/commercial waste have been in use as supplementary sources of energy in the cement industry.
Household and industrial/commercial waste volumes are treated, inter alia, according to the following basic processing operations:
mechanical conditioning and fractionation
biodegradation
thermal drying
mechanical/physical fractionation
At diverse European waste treatment facilities, a...
