Waste-to-energy

A substitute fuel power plant (abbreviated RDF power plant, also RDF ​​power plant, medium or high calorific power plant called ) is a steam power plant, in which alternative fuels (RDF ) and Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF ) or other medium or high calorific waste used as fuel be.

Technology

A common size for an RDF power plant is 50-220 MW, ie most RDF power plants are industrial power plants. Frequently RDF power plants will be constructed as a combined heat and power systems in conjunction with larger industrial firms that decrease process steam or district heating and / or provide alternative fuels, such as paper mills, which require heat in large quantities and in which the same are incurred rejects as EBS.

The combustion technology is largely derived from the classical types of other power plants that are fueled with solid fuels medium lumpiness, particularly of biomass power plants and waste incinerators. Be used depending on the exact fuel properties and performance especially grate ( for small loads and coarse fuel) and fluidised bed ( for greater achievements and finely particulate fuel).

Because of the usually unknown fuel composition with potentially dangerous pollutants get RDF power plants always an exhaust gas purification after 17 BlmSchV (Ordinance on Incinerators for Waste and Similar Combustible Materials ) for the deposition of acidic pollutants and adsorption anlagerbaren, comparable to an incinerator.

With regard to water - steam cycle and other ancillary facilities, a RDF power plant is different in principle from other steam power plants. In detail, the system is adapted to the circumstances of the particular location.
