Co-Combustion of Refuse-Derived and Packaging-Derived Fuels (Rdf and Pdf) With Conventional Fuels

Abstract

Energy recovery of used materials can be performed as mixed municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration or as fuel recovery for co-combustion. Recovered fuels are refuse-derived fuel (RDF), which is mechanically separated and processed from MSW, and packaging-derived fuel (PDF), which is the source-separated, processed, dry combustable part of MSW.
