Calciner firing of refuse derived fuels
Alternative or refuse derived fuels (RDF) are mainly fired in kiln burners, preheater or calciner kilns. Of the greatest importance in this regard is homogenous fuel quality consisting of two-dimensional parts. Alternative fuel for the kiln burner has to be free of disruptive fractions (e.g. metals, stones, glass), which might cause problems in the feeding equipment or the burner itself. ...

Climate protection on industrial sites
Refuse derived fuels in industrial power plants help to save CO2 Power plants on industrial sites can reduce the owner's costs for power, steam or heat production. Onsite power stations also help to prevent CO2 emissions if fossil feedstocks are substituted with refuse derived fuels (RDF). At the 'waste to energy' on May 9 to 10, 2007 in the Bremen Convention Center, experts from Germany and ...

More effective cement production: New sampling plant makes the determination of the quality of refuse derived fuel possible
Until now an employee had to manually remove RDF materials from the feed and bring it to the laboratory for shredding and reduction”, explained Peter Kraihamer who is responsible at Leube for maintenance, planning and safety. The problem with this was the following: “Every employee took different quantities of material in differing numbers and at differing times. Therefore it was not ...

The UK paves the way for energy recovery from biomass and waste
According to the UK Waste Strategy landfilling waste is the worst environmental option. The methane it produces is a potent greenhouse gas, 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Consequently, the Landfill Directive calls for a 50 percent reduction of the biodegradable municipal waste that is dumped at increasing costs. Energy recovery from biomass and waste is going to play an important role ...
