RDF Plant

In the economically dynamic Yangtze River Delta region of China, a waste textile alternative fuel production line with an annual capacity of 100,000 tons is set to be commissioned. This innovative production line will provide efficient and environmentally friendly RDF (Refuse-Derived Fuel) to a cement kiln operated by a state-owned enterprise, replacing traditional coal and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The project not only accelerates the green transformation of the cement industry but also stands as a key development in the circular economy sector.The Yangtze River Delta is a global hub for textile and garment production, generating vast quantities of clothing each year, which inevitably results in substantial textile waste. Effectively managing this waste has long been a challenge. This 100,000-ton per year alternative fuel production line converts waste textiles into high-energy RDF fuel, addressing the local processing capacity shortage while reducing fossil fuel usage. The project

In the pulp and paper production process, will produce a variety of solid waste (i.e., slag), for example, an annual production capacity of 1 million tons of paper mills, the amount of slag accounted for about 10% of the amount of slag, i.e., 100,000 tons / year, which is a large number, and highly concentrated, such as improper disposal, but also cause significant pollution and endanger the ecological environment. The composition of paper production waste is very complex, mainly contains: rope, cotton yarn, cotton cloth, paper residue, wood chips, rubber, plastic, electronic parts, wire, nails, aluminum cans, PE plastic bottles, waxed paper and glass, stone and sand. Paper waste residue can be used to make solid alternative fuels, a utilization that not only reduces waste, but also replaces traditional fossil energy sources and reduces carbon emissions. The plastics in paper production waste can not be degraded, and direct stacking seriously affects the ecological environment. At present, there are paper

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

The pricing of RDF (Refuse-Derived Fuel) and SRF (Solid Recovered Fuel) per ton is a significant concern for investors and users alike. It goes beyond just investment returns, impacting the operational costs of users directly. Much like coal pricing, RDF/SRF pricing varies based on factors such as its source, quality, and market dynamics.RDF-5 PelletsThe U.S. Energy Information Administration website outlines prices for different coal grades and sulfur content, highlighting the disparities in coal pricing. When considering RDF/SRF for fuel application, factors like calorific value, post-combustion emissions, and potential impacts on the environment or end products are crucial. For example, RDF with high chlorine content may affect concrete quality when used in cement kilns.Average weekly coal commodity spot pricesHowever, determining RDF/SRF pricing is more complex than coal pricing. Firstly, there's no specialized RDF/SRF category in the spot or futures market. Secondly, RDF/SRF comes from various sources

At present, organic industrial waste generated by industries such as garment, shoe-making, tanning, textile, clothing, leather goods, packaging and plastic products mainly contains high concentrations of organic matter and some heavy metals. The common treatment method is direct incineration, but due to insufficient combustion, it is easy to cause serious secondary pollution and difficult to meet environmental standards. Processing these wastes into homogeneous and easy-to-burn refuse-derived fuels is another treatment method. However, such organic industrial wastes have problems such as poor adhesion and molding difficulties, and the organic matter in them may contain acid and sulfur, which may cause pollution in subsequent processing and fail to meet environmental protection requirements. To improve on these shortcomings of existing technologies, AI Shred has introduced a new process for the preparation of refuse-derived fuels. This process has excellent adhesive properties and easy molding characteristics

RDF alternative fuel is a new type of fuel with many advantages, compared with traditional fuel, it has obvious advantages in environmental protection, resource utilization and economic benefits. One of the main advantages of RDF alternative fuel is that it is more environmentally friendly. It is usually made from waste or renewable resources, such as garbage, biomass, etc. It reduces dependence on fossil fuels, lowers greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants, and has positive significance for improving air quality. RDF has a higher calorific value, which provides more energy and improves the efficiency of energy utilization. This not only reduces fuel consumption, but also lowers energy costs.The preparation process of RDF is relatively simple. Generally speaking, it needs to go through the steps of waste collection, classification, crushing, drying, etc., and then it is processed into pellets or lumps of fuel with certain specifications. This preparation process not only can effectively utilize waste

There are several materials in municipal solid waste more suitable for preparing RDF (refuse derived fuel) to replace fuel. The following are some common examples:1. Plastic: Plastic is a common material in domestic waste, especially plastics such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS). These plastics have high thermal values and are suitable for preparation of RDF.2. Paper and cardboard: Paper and cardboard are renewable resources. They contain high cellulose, easy to burn, and relatively high thermal values.3. Textiles: Textiles, such as clothes, towels, and bedding, are usually composed of fibers and have a certain heat value.4. Wood and wood products: wood and products such as wood chips and wooden blocks are a natural fuel source with high heat value.5. Rubber and leather: Although the thermal value of rubber and leather is relatively low, they can be mixed with other high thermal components to improve the overall heat value of RDF.6. Organic waste: organic matter in kitchen waste

In a world where sustainability and resource conservation are of paramount importance, finding innovative ways to manage waste is crucial. Landfills, historically viewed as the final destination for waste materials, are now being reimagined as potential sources of valuable resources. One such resource is Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF), and GEP ECOTECH is at the forefront of transforming landfill waste into a sustainable energy source.The Challenge of Landfill WasteLandfills have long been associated with environmental concerns, from methane emissions to soil and water contamination. As waste piles up in these sites, there is an urgent need to not only minimize the environmental impact but also harness the untapped potential within these waste heaps. This is where RDF comes into play.What is RDF?Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) is a sustainable energy source produced from the combustion of non-recyclable waste materials. These materials, typically found in landfills, include plastics, paper, cardboard, textiles, and more

According to statistics, the paper waste residue produced by a recycled paper production plant with an annual output of 1.5 million tons is about 180,000 tons/year or more. When paper mills use recycled materials to make paper, the production process produces a large amount of waste materials, including stranded rope and light slag. For these paper waste residues, they can be reused in applications such as incineration for power generation, metal recycling, plastic regeneration, etc. after treatment through a reasonable process. Can paper mill waste be made into RDF fuel rods?Paper mill waste can be made into RDF fuel rods. Most of the solid wastes produced by paper mills are combustible materials, and only a small amount of materials with recycling value. After processing, paper mill waste can be made into RDF fuel rods, which can be used in large circulating fluidized bed boilers to mix and couple power generation and replace the use of coal-fired fuel in a large amount, saving a large amount of coal-fired

Internationally, Refuse Derived Fuel (hereinafter referred to as "RDF") is regarded as a new way of waste harmless, recycling and reduction. It has been widely used in cement, power generation and other industries. It is green, environmentally friendly, high quality and low price Alternative fuels (SRF/RDF) are the new trend of the future. The preparation of waste-derived fuel RDF is not limited by site and scale. It is suitable for small and medium-sized waste treatment plants to be scattered and manufactured, and then collected for power generation, which is conducive to improving the scale and efficiency of waste-to-energy power generation. Converting waste to waste-derived fuel (RDF) serves two purposes: it can reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, thereby solving problems in the waste field, and it can supply large coal-fired power plants, waste incineration plants, cement plants Provides a large number of alternative fuel RDF.

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. RDF(Refuse-derived fuel) is a fuel produced by sorting and shredding combustible materials contained in municipal solid waste (MSW) and industrial waste. Compared to fossil fuels, RDF is more affordable, abundant, and environmentally friendly. SRF(Solid Recovered Fuel) is a fuel produced by drying, filtering, and shredding solid waste, It is usually produced to meet the standards in Europe. The EN 15359 document gives the specifications for classifying SRF. Unlike RDF, SRF is a more refined material that is slightly more efficient than RDF, though it takes a more advanced process to make the fuel. TDF(Tire-derived fuel) is a
