Fundamental studies into RDF combustion

Abstract

The combustion behaviour of pelletised refuse derived fuel (RDF) is very different from coal. This report describes the results of a project with the following primary objectives: (a) to study the fundamental properties of RDF at laboratory and pilot scale to provide information of practical use for the optimization of RDF combustion on conventional coal-fired combustion equipment; (b) to provide data for the eventual development and design of purpose-made RDF combustors; and (3) to examine the effect of burning RDF/coal mixtures including the use of additives to the RDF and of the application of secondary air to control fouling, emissions and ash clinkering, and the effort of combustion variables on pollutant emissions and of burning RDF from different production plants. (U.K).
