Chemical exergy calculations for petroleum and petroleum–derived liquid fractions
This work focused on the chemical exergy calculation methods that can be applied to petroleum and petroleum–derived liquid fuels. The importance of thermodynamic data in the calculation of chemical exergies, and the limitations due to the absence of this kind of data to the methods to be applied, were also determined in this work. Chemical exergy values were calculated for some petroleum derived ...

Investigation on the spontaneous combustion of refuse-derived fuels
Refuse-derived fuel (RDF), a high-caloric material, is used by various combustion processes, such as power plants, as alternative fuel. Several explosion accidents, however, possibly initiated by the spontaneous combustion of stored RDF, have been reported in Japan. Therefore the spontaneous combustion of RDF prepared from domestic garbage was investigated using chemiluminescence. RDF samples ...

Thermal behaviour study of senakin coal and Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) blends during pyrolysis using thermogravimetric analysis
Preliminary Thermogravimetric (TG) studies of pyrolysed Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF)–coal blends (20 to 80%) at various heating rates, 20, 40, 60 °C•min–1 have been performed to develop an efficient locally sourced renewable solid fuel. The characteristics of the coal/RDF blends followed those of the parent fuels in additive manner. Among the tested blends, 50:50 blends showed the optimum blend ...

Tire Derived Fuel (TDF)
Tire-derived fuel (TDF) is a fuel derived from waste tires of all kinds. TDF is a major use for scrap or waste tires as fuel. This may include whole tires or tires processed into uniform, flowable pieces that satisfy the specifications of the end-user. Waste tires are used as fuel either shredded or whole depending on the type of combustion unit. Tire Derived Fuel (TDF) Markets TDF is the oldest ...

Study Charts a Future for Waste-Derived Fuels
Pointers to possible future EU policy initiatives to give co-incineration facilities burning waste-derived fuels a strategic role in waste management have emerged in a study for the European Commission.1 The report suggests a policy focus on promoting source separation of municipal wastes, active discouragement of mass burn incinerators, and a levelling of the regulatory playing-field for ...

Refuse Derived Fuel, Current Practice and Perspectives
Untitled Document Summary I OBJECTIVES The objectives of the project were to undertake a survey on the current practices of production and use of refuse derived fuel (RDF) in the fifteen Member States of the European Union, as well as to undertake an overview of the legal and policy framework of RDF production and use; an assessment of the environmental impacts and of the ...

Waste to Energy: RDF(Refuse-derived Fuel)
At present, the main ways of municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment are landfill, composting, incineration, and so on. But these treatments still require a lot of lands. RDF preparation technology has obvious advantages in environmental protection and resource utilization, and will be better developed in the future. It brings vitality to waste energy and becomes a new growth point in the field of ...

Fuel Processing for RDF, TDF and SRF
Since the beginning of the 21st century, more and more waste has been generated. In order to cope with the threat to the environment caused by the increase in waste, people have begun to use waste as fuel that can be burned in boilers for power generation or heating. We divide the fuel from waste into RDF, TDF, SRF according to different components and processing method of the waste. ...

What does Brexit mean for demand of UK Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF)?
Demand for UK refuse derived fuel (RDF) exports to fill up incinerator capacity in Europe is likely to continue even if Britain leaves the European Union in June, waste experts have suggested. The market for the export of UK waste to the mainland, especially the Netherlands, is to be viewed as one which has a high degree of certainty going forward: Brexit or no Brexit. The export of UK waste is ...

Refuse Derived Fuels: What spot-checks will never tell you…
The 2017 SQALAR software tool from EVK enables quantitative values of chemical parameters to be determined from spatially resolved images, acquired in real-time, of a product stream. This offers many possibilities to control or optimise processes. One such example is described in detail next. ...

Wood instead of petroleum?
The other day I found an interesting article from Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, USA. The artical discusses how the two recently managed to synthesize two complex chemical substances from wood-based starting materials. You can find the link here: Wood instead of petroleum. The basic chemistry is nothing new. In fact ...

The Waste Industry: Refuse Derived Fuel Hits a New Level
The Environment Agency published the final data up to the end of December 2014 in February. It shows that the overall tonnage of RDF sent overseas throughout the year topped 2,373,611 tonnes. The figures confirm the rapid growth in demand for RDF from operators in the UK from European energy from waste facilities, with 2014 continuing the trend of increasing exports to facilities overseas. RDF ...

Gently does it takes you further
Drivers of petrol and diesel cars are usually aware that driving at high speed, harsh acceleration and hard braking all contribute to lowering their fuel economy. Scientists can readily explain in terms of the thermodynamics of the internal combustion engine why driving such a car more smoothly and at gentler speeds will increase significantly the distance that might be travelled on a single tank ...

KAB - Polaris 2800 - Polaris Single-Shaft Shredder from Lindner optimizes the one-step processing of refuse-derived fuel - Case Study
The Polaris 2200 and 2800 are two new single-shaft shredders from Lindner that have been optimized for the cost-efficient, single-step shredding of untreated household refuse as well as industrial and commercial waste. A typical application area is the processing of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) that is used instead of fossil fuels in calciners of cement factories or in thermal power plants. Because ...

Conception of a Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) incineration plant and its environmental benefit
Since landfill ban was realised in July 2009 in Germany, wastes that have a high and middle calorific value must be incinerated. Fossil fuels like oil and coal for the generation of electricity and/or heat can be substituted, so that approximately 4 million tons of CO2 could be avoided. Waste incineration is a possible partial solution for avoiding worst impacts of climate change. This paper ...
