The task at hand

The use of refuse derived fuel (RDF) is part and parcel of today's regulated waste disposal. Triggered by judicial specifications that ban the landfilling of untreated waste, or at least hamper it, this fuel is continually gaining in importance in light of climate protection and rising energy costs.

Using a selective treatment process, fractions high in calorific value are separated off from commercial and industrial waste, creating a marketable product. Depending on calorific value, composition and particle size, this fuel is used in industrial fluidised bed firings, in cement kilns and in RDF power plants.
