Abstract
This research work was aimed to analyse the quality of
solid recovered fuel (SRF) produced from commercial and
industrial waste (C&IW) and construction and demolition
waste (C&DW) based on the mass, energy and elemental
balance of the various streams produced in the SRF
production plant. For this purpose two commercial scale
experimental campaigns of SRF production from C&IW and
C&DW were conducted separately, on a high-tech sensor
based sorting and SRF production technology in Finland.
These experimental campaigns included the collection of
79 tons of C&IW and 74 tons of C&DW from the Metropolitan
area of Helsinki region which were further transported to
a mechanical treatment (MT) based SRF production plant.
The results showed that in case of C&IW more material was
recovered in the form of SRF than that of recovered from
C&DW. The other material streams were Fe/NFe material,
fine fraction, heavy fraction and reject streams in both
the cases. The energy recovered in the form of SRF
produced from C&IW and C&DW was 77% and 72% respectively
of their total input energy content of waste material. In
terms of elemental contamination SRF produced from C&IW
found to contain higher chlorine, lead and zinc content
than SRF produced from C&DW. While, SRF produced from
C&DW was found to contain higher antimony, cadmium and
mercury content than SRF produced from C&IW.
