RDF Power Plant in Kelheim
Summary/Description:
Kelheim Fibers GmbH had intended to modernize its energy supply by setting up a circulating fluidized bed combustion system, which is usually to be fed with refused derived fuels (RDF). The construction of a pre-processing plant for the raw municipal solid waste is required for safe and reliable disposal in a fluidized bed combustion process.
The processing of the raw municipal solid waste is carried out in two lines and consists of a pre-shredding, a sieving, ferrous, and non-ferrous metal separators, wind sifting with a return loop of the heavy fraction, manual sorting cabin for the returned heavy fraction and a 3-line secondary shredding stage.
The plant can also dispose of hazardous waste in liquid form. The containers designed as interim storage for hazardous waste are equipped with activated carbon filters. From there the hazardous waste is fed into the furnace with two pumps. The furnace is equipped with two lines for feeding liquid waste fuels. That allows the disposal of hazardous waste that must not be mixed to prevent certain reactions, such as certain solvents and oils because these fed separately into the furnace.
