Tacoma refuse-fired combustor feasibility study

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6603521
A study of the densification of refuse derived fuel (RDF) is outlined. The study examined: 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. Test burning was performed at a Washington pulp and paper plant. In addition, densified RDF was tested in three separate waste fuel gasifiers. (LEW)
