Alter, H; Arnold, J

Large tonnage quantities of densified refuse-derived fuel (d-RDF) have been prepared processing MSW at rates up to about 18 tph. The process flow is shredding, screening, air classification, secondary shredding in a special ''cutter'' mill, and densification in a modified animal feed pellet mill. The equipment, its operation under two different process flows, the mass balances and the properties of the resultant fuel are described. Fuel properties (pellet length, pellet density, bulk density, moisture content, and ash content) are described by the frequency distribution of the properties measured for an operating period of about 300 tons.
