Coal: dRDF (Densified Refuse Derived Fuel) Demonstration Test in an Industrial Spreader Stoker Boiler. Use of Coal: dRDF Blends in Stoker-Fired Boilers, Appendices A, B, C, and D. Volume II

摘要

This study program has the overall objective of evaluating boiler performance and environmental feasibility when combusting densified forms of refuse derived fuels (dRDF) blended with coal and fired in a modern industrial spreader stoker-fired boiler. The results reported herein represent the second phase of a two-phase evaluation program. Phase 1 was conducted in an institutional spreader stoker heating boiler. During Phase 1 285 tons of dRDF were combusted. The results of that test are reported in EPA Report No. 600/2-80-095. Phase 2 demonstration testing was conducted in a larger industrial spreader stoker boiler. In a period of 402 hours, 1702 tons of dRDF were co-fired with coal. An additional 231 hours of coal baseline testing was completed to provide a basis of comparison for the test results.
