Tacoma refuse-fired combustor study. Phase II. (RDF densification study)

Technical Report · Fri Sep 10 04:00:00 EDT 1982

OSTI ID:6580954

The study of the densification of refuse derived fuel (RDF) examined several areas, including: investigation of densification methods and equipment, the purchase and adaptation of a densifier unit to operate with an existing resource recovery system, operating experience and modifications of the unit to adapt it to RDF, and actual manufacturing and burning of densified RDF in industrial waste fuel boilers and waste fuel gasifiers. The densified RDF was burned in tests at a pulp and paper company. Also, the RDF was densified for testing in three separate waste fuel gasifiers. Test reports for direct combustion and for gasification are included. (LEW)
