From Waste to Engineered Fuel: The Challenges and Opportunities in the Current Environment

摘要

Co-processing refers to the use of waste materials in energy intensive industrial processes, such as cement, lime, steel or power production. It sees the energy and mineral components of waste recovered and reused in an industrial manufacturing process, where the naturally occurring materials required for production are supplemented by a variety of waste materials from other sources. Co-processing is a sustainable waste management solution for companies who have an interest in seeing their waste reused in a beneficial manner, suitable for both hazardous as well as non-hazardous wastes, and applied to solids, liquids or sludge.
