Characterisation of Refuse Derived Fuels (RDF) in reference to the Fuel Technical Properties

摘要

Refuse derived materials and biomass fuels have special properties which make them to be classified as difficult fuels. When applied in technical processes, measures have to be taken in order to fully utilise their potential as fuels. The lack of substantial information concerning their properties is the challenging part and hence there is a need for laboratory and pilot plant investigations (e.g. Thermo balance, Batch reactor, Slag formation reactor). In this way, a method can be developed in the characterisation of technical fuel properties and which then can be coupled with results from practical run plants for enhanced effectivity.
