Processing route for ready-to-fire alternative fuels derived from waste fractions

All Voges Maschinenbau

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...

Proven experience with alternative fuels in the cement kiln process

In times of increasing energy costs, it is of vital interest for any company to save energy. To cut the energy costs for clinker production, the German cement industry started substitution of primary fuels with Alternative Fuels (AF) such as used oil or tyres after the first oil crisis of 1973. Today, alternative fuels and raw materials (AFR) include a wide range of types of hazardous and non-hazardous waste...

Eggersmann FUEL: The custom solution for the cement industry

Landfill diversion, lower consumption of virgin fossil fuels, lower CO2 emissions – alternative fuels derived from municipal solid waste (MSW) offer many advantages, but they are rarely adjusted to the needs of the customer. The Eggersmann FUEL is different.
