Recycled Briquettes

Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) or solid recovered fuel/ specified recovered fuel (SRF) is a fuel produced by shredding and dehydrating municipal solid waste (MSW) with a converter technology. RDF consists largely of combustible components of municipal waste such as plastics, textile, leather, corrugated boxes and biomass. The RDF is recovered by subjecting the incoming the fresh mixed municipal solid waste through a series of electro-mechanical unit operations, which include  pre-sorting  of pre-defined waste components, shredding of waste into defined sizes, removal of inerts through air-density separator, removal of ferrous components using Magnetic separator, followed by secondary shredding(subject to customer’s requirement) and formation of bales/briquettes.

Physico-chemical Composition of Refuse derived Fuel

The refuse derived fuel, prepared from municipal solid waste offers excellent characteristics similar to biomass fuel and offers a environment and financially sound option for industries for replacement of conventional fuels, such as coal, oil etc. The fuel characteristics of Refuse derived fuel offered by us are as follows:

At present, the RDF is being offered in loose fluff and baled form. The offered size range is +35mm and -35 to +16mm.

The above reported values are similar to D-grade coal and can be used in industries, which extensively use conventional fuels like coal and non-conventional fuels like biomass. The advantage of using RDF over biomass fuel lies in the fact that RDF is buffered against seasonal cost fluctuations and does not require any advance procurement like biomass. RDF can be supplied with customer tailored specifications. 
 

RDF by virtue of its close composition with coal and biomass fuels offers an environmentally sustainable solution to industries, who are concerned with simultaneous reduction of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions with operational cost optimization and maintenance of eco-friendly image among their customers. RDF is normally recommended for use by industries, which have a stringent air pollution control systems.
