Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) is a derived fuel derived from combustible waste. Here is some basic information about RDF fuel rods:
1.)Definition
1.RDF refers to refuse derived fuel, which is a solid fuel made from domestic waste or other types of waste through a series of treatment processes.
2.RDF in the form of fuel rods usually refers to long strips of fuel formed by compression molding process.
2.)Production technology
1.Crushing: First of all, the collected domestic waste is broken to make it meet certain particle size requirements.
2.Separation: removal of non-combustible components (such as metal, glass, etc.) and harmful substances by physical or chemical methods.
3.Drying: Remove moisture from the material and increase the calorific value.
4.Mixing: Adjust the ratio of different components as needed to obtain the ideal combustion performance.
5.Molding: Compress the processed material into a rod or other shape for easy storage and transportation.
6.Additives: In some cases, some chemicals, such as calcifying compounds, are added to improve the performance of the fuel, such as increasing corrosion resistance and reducing dioxin emissions.
3.)Peculiarity
1.High calorific value: RDF fuel rods have a higher calorific value than raw waste.
2.Combustion stability: The combustion process is more stable, helping to improve combustion efficiency.
3.Easy storage and transport: The formed RDF fuel rods are easy to stack and transport.
4.Low emissions: Compared with traditional fossil fuels, RDF fuel rods produce less harmful gases during combustion, especially dioxins.
5.Environmentally friendly: The use of RDF fuel rods helps reduce the need for landfill and incineration, thereby reducing pressure on the environment.
4.)Application field
1.Power generation: RDF fuel rods can be used as fuel for thermal power plants, replacing some coal.
2.Industrial boilers: Provide the heat energy needed in industrial production.
3.Cement manufacturing: Used as an auxiliary fuel in the cement production process.
4.Heating engineering: for central heating systems.
5.)Market prospect
1.With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the advancement of technology, the market demand for RDF fuel rods as a clean energy source is growing.
2.Many countries and regions are actively promoting and developing the production and application of RDF fuel rods to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and solve the problem of waste disposal.
Overall, RDF fuel rods are a sustainable solution that can effectively use waste resources and reduce environmental pollution.
