ALTERNATIVE FUELS (RDF)-5

The pre-shredded waste becomes a base RDF following the separation of metals and inert substances. Further treatment involving screening, sifting and re-shredding produces RDF for energy generation in the cement industry and for power plants. Special requirements for the RDF can be met using downstream processing methods. Energy recovery FUEL IS VERSATILE – JUST LIKE OUR TECHNOLOGY Different source materials place different demands on the technology: VECOPLAN provides the processing technology required to manufacture specic alternative fuels. Highly efcient, tailor-made plants are designed using...
