Handling both pre-sorted and unsorted municipal solid waste collected from throughout the region, it can process 20 tonnes of 100-500kg/m³ density material per hour, to produce a renewable fossil fuel substitute, used to fuel the cement plant. An UNTHA XR3000C shredder designed for continuous operation in 50°C temperatures, lies at the heart of the ...
An UNTHA CR2000 shredder is set to drive forward Geofuturo’s Energy-from-Waste (EfW) operations in Columbia – converting the country’s waste into Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) for the cement industry. The equipment – which represents a shredding first for the waste management organisation – will be processing ...
Decentralized solution for a Channel Island Michaelis has received an order from a major European waste disposal company for a refuse-derived fuel plant in England. Power generation: 4.3 MWh/h. ...
Each pre-designed stage/module of the system delivers formulated and regulated flows of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) with key characteristics, through each phase of the conversion, from combustion, gas emissions, heat regulation and finally the mechanics of turbine generated electricity. ...
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, ...
Provisional figures released by the Agency for the period of January to November 2016, show a total of 2,884,866 tonnes of waste derived fuel was approved for export, which is roughly 262,000 tonnes per month. ...
On November 29, 2016, the United Kingdom (UK) Department of Transportation published proposed legislative changes to the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO), which is open for consultation until January 22, 2017. Among the proposed changes is an increase in the blending mandates to 9.75 percent by volume for 2020. The three main proposals outlined detail increasing the supply of waste ...
The facility has a 70MW output supplying around 160,000 homes with low-carbon electricity from refuse-derived fuel. Previously, analysis of the annual 600,000 tonnes of residual waste treated by MFE was a time-consuming task for Dr Claire Spencer, Plant Chemist, Environmental Officer and Fuels Liaison. ...
The latest provisional Environment Agency data suggests exports of refuse derived fuel (RDF) from the UK have shown a strong start to the year, with more than 600,000 tonnes of material sent to Europe during January and February. ...
According to latest news, exports of refuse derived fuel (RDF) from England and Wales grew by over half a million tonnes in 2015 according to the RDF Industry Group. ...
GPT Waste recommended the implementation of an innovative project that would turn the garments into Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). This process uses new technology to capture the energy in non-recyclable waste and transform it into bricks or pellets that can be used to replace fossil fuels like coal or oil. ...
Almond said that although EfW has a role to play in the UK’s waste management industry, investment should be directed towards material recovery for recycling first, so that only the remaining untreatable refuse is used in energy production. A spokesperson for Prosiect Gwyrdd said that incinerator bottom ash resulting from the plant’s operations will be recycled and ...
International technology Group ANDRITZ has received an order from POSCO E&C to supply key equipment for a 50-megawatt bubbling fluidized bed boiler fired with refuse-derived fuel for the greenfield waste-to-energy plant in Pohang, South Korea. ...
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 is a fuel produced by shredding and dehydrating solid waste, which companies wishing to export are required to notify the Environment Agency of its final destination, to ensure ...
Late October, leading researchers on the quality of biomass-based fuels met as an Impacts of Fuel Quality on Power Production conference—given this year at Snowbird, Utah, U.S.A.—with one in five talks being delivered by a scientist from Bio4Energy. While the conference is one of the most respected recurrent events on biomass combustion and gasification research, this year was ...
Renewa Oy, an expert in local bioenergy, has signed an agreement with Katrinefors Kraftvärme Ab (KKAB) on delivering a 28 MW bioenergy boiler plant to Mariestad in Sweden. Renewa will deliver a bioenergy boiler plant for combined heat and power production to Metsä Tissue paper mill in Mariestad, Sweden. The boiler plant will produce process steam for Metsä Tissue paper mill, steam ...
On February 28, 2013, Renewa acquired the entire share capital of a French company Sotherma SAS that specializes in boiler and power plant service. The sellers were Anthony and Muriel Germany. Anthony Germany will continue in Renewa’s employ and will be responsible for Renewa’s service business in France. “Sotherma is an experienced boiler service company and Renewa a ...
Now a recognised expert in shredding technologies for the Waste to Energy industry, Marcus works with some of the country’s leading Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF), Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) and Anaerobic Digestion (AD) operators, on a weekly basis. ...
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 ...
Key ideas for reducing the carbon footprint of buildings, from blueprint to build and beyond. By Dominic Burbridge, Senior Client Manager, Carbon Trust Advisory Carbon reduction is a complex challenge for all organisations, not least those in the construction industry. Taking a cradle-to-grave view of the construction sector value chain means considering all aspects of the design, construction, ...
