How Can Industrial Waste Be Converted into RDF?

Industrial waste is composed of waste generated during the industrial production process, which can be in the form of solid, liquid, or gas. The industrial waste we usually refer to mainly refers to industrial solid waste. These industrial wastes need to be properly treated to reduce their impact on the environment and human health. Common treatment methods include recycling and reuse, incineration for energy conversion, landfill, etc.

Converting industrial solid waste to Renewable Fuel, RDF is a feasible waste disposal method. RDF is a combustible fraction extracted from waste, typically used for energy production such as power generation or heating.

The following are the general steps for converting industrial waste into RDF:

1. Collection and Classification:

Firstly, industrial waste needs to be collected and classified. The purpose of classification is to separate combustible and non combustible parts for subsequent processing.

2. Shredding or Crushing:

The collected industrial waste will be sent to a shredder or crusher for processing, shredding it into smaller particles. This helps to improve the efficiency of subsequent processing.

3. Screening and Sorting: 

The processed industrial waste needs to go through the process of screening and sorting to remove impurities and non combustible substances such as metals, glass, and stones.

4. Drying and Compression: 

Dry the screened combustible parts to reduce their moisture content to a lower degree of around 20-25%. Subsequently, these dry waste particles can be compressed into blocks or formed into solid fuels (RDF pellets or rods).

5. Packaging and Storage: 

The processed RDF needs to be packaged and stored for transportation to energy production plants or other usage locations.

6. Energy Utilization: 

Finally, RDF can be used as fuel for power plants, generating thermal energy through combustion and converting it into electrical or thermal energy.
