Pelletization Trials for Refuse Derived Fuel Fluff to Produce High Quality Feedstock

这项研究工作的总体目标是将城市固体废物转化为垃圾衍生燃料。 (RDF)颗粒，它有可能被用作生物燃料行业的原料，并提供 另一种处理垃圾的方法，目前被处理在垃圾填埋场。因此，它的目标是 该项目是为了表征从该市废物管理服务机构获得的RDF绒毛 埃德蒙顿(合伙人)。将对RDF绒毛进行分选，以控制最终产品的组成。 RDF绒毛的不同成分将被造粒，以获得不同的产品，可能适合于 生化和/或热化学转化。最终产品将是颗粒或型煤，它将 作为生物燃料或生物能源的原料具有可接受的质量。英国城市废物管理服务局 埃德蒙顿一直积极从事城市生活垃圾的回收和再利用，用于能源和其他产品。这 项目将为他们的努力做出贡献，并为未来校长之间的合作提供一种手段 调查员和埃德蒙顿市。

The overarching goal of this research work is to convert municipal solid waste (MSW) into refuse derived fuel (RDF) pellets, which has the potential to be used as feedstock for the biofuel industry and provides an alternative means for disposal of garbage, which is currently disposed in landfills. Therefore, the objective of this project is to characterize the RDF fluff obtained from Waste Management Services of the City of Edmonton (partner). Sorting of the RDF fluff will be performed to control the composition of final products. The different components of RDF fluff will be pelletized to obtain different products which may be suitable for biochemical and/or thermochemical conversion. The end product will be in pellet or briquette form, and it will be of acceptable quality as feedstock for biofuel or bioenergy. The Waste Management Services, City of Edmonton has been actively engaged in recycling and reuse of MSW for energy and other products. This project will contribute to their effort and provide a means of collaboration in the future between the principal investigator and the City of Edmonton.
