Which materials in MSW are most suitable for preparing RDF substitution fuel

157

There are several materials in municipal solid waste more suitable for preparing RDF (refuse derived fuel) to replace fuel. The following are some common examples:

  1. Plastic: Plastic is a common material in domestic waste, especially plastics such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS). These plastics have high thermal values and are suitable for preparation of RDF.
  2. Paper and cardboard: Paper and cardboard are renewable resources. They contain high cellulose, easy to burn, and relatively high thermal values.
  3. Textiles: Textiles, such as clothes, towels, and bedding, are usually composed of fibers and have a certain heat value.
  4. Wood and wood products: wood and products such as wood chips and wooden blocks are a natural fuel source with high heat value.
  5. Rubber and leather: Although the thermal value of rubber and leather is relatively low, they can be mixed with other high thermal components to improve the overall heat value of RDF.
  6. Organic waste: organic matter in kitchen waste, such as food residues and oil, can also be used for RDF preparation after appropriate treatment.

It is important to note that the preparation of RDF requires the use of the GEP ECOTECH Alternative Fuel Preparation System for Household Waste: it uses automatic, shredding, screening, wind and magnetic intelligent AI technology sorting to resource, reduce and harmlessly treat household waste. The best part is that they can even prepare alternative fuels - RDF/SRF - from the waste.

The composition of domestic waste in different regions and countries may be different. Therefore, when choosing an ingredient for preparing RDF, it is necessary to evaluate and decide according to the actual situation. At the same time, the application of RDF also needs to be combined with appropriate combustion equipment and processing technology to maximize energy recovery and environmental benefits. If you have more questions about the preparation process of RDF alternative fuel or other related issues, I will be happy to provide you with more detailed information and suggestion.
