Refuse Derived Fuel: RDF

Abstract

This article will talk about solid waste fuel, or RDF. Solid waste fuel, or RDF, is a form of solid fuel that is obtained by taking municipal waste and improving both its chemical and physical components, such as the digestion process. Waste separation process And has been improved in quality and has properties such as calorific value, size, humidity, density, and has consistent chemical and physical composition suitable for use as fuel for producing electrical energy. or heat energy The characteristics of solid waste fuels can be divided into 7 types: 1. RDF1 type: Using waste as fuel in the same condition as when it was stored without going through the waste transformation process, but large parts may be separated by hand. 2 . Type RDF2: Taking the collected waste through a process of separating non-combustible parts, such as metal and glass, grinding or chopping the waste to a coarse size. 3. Type RDF3: Taking the collected waste through a process such as Same as RDF2, but the size will be reduced so that 95 percent of the solid waste that is sorted has a size smaller than 2 inches. 4. RDF4 type takes the solid waste in the combustion process by making it stay. in the form of dust or powder with a size smaller than 0.0035 inches. 5. Type RDF5 takes the combustion portion of solid waste through a briquette process with a density greater than 600 kg/m3, with the addition of various additional components. into it to have the desired properties. 6. Type RDF6 takes solid waste in the combustion process through a process to make it into the form of liquid fuel. or semi-solid, semi-liquid 7. Type RDF7 takes solid waste in the combustion process through a Gasification process to produce Syn-gas that can be used as gaseous fuel.
