What MSW(municipal solid waste) can generate RDF fuel through pyrolysis technology?

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) encompasses a wide variety of materials generated by households, businesses, institutions, and other sources within urban areas, which poses significant challenges for waste management due to its diverse composition and environmental impact. However, advancements in pyrolysis technology offer a promising solution for converting certain components of MSW into valuable RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel).

Then in this passage, will have a brief introduction about what MSW can generate RDF fuel through pyrolysis technology:

1. Waste plastics constitute a substantial portion of MSW and are a prime candidate for RDF generation via pyrolysis. Various types of plastics, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), plastic household garbage, paper mill waste, food packaging bags, greenhouse mulch film, bumper, etc., can undergo thermal decomposition in the absence of oxygen to produce valuable hydrocarbon-based fuels. With the MSW pyrolysis machine, we can generate plastic pyrolysis oil, carbon black and combustible gas from waste plastics.

2. Non-infectious and non-hazardous medical waste (such as disposable gloves, masks, packaging materials and so on). Recycling the medical waste with the pyrolysis technology can not only generate RDF fuel, like fuel oil, carbon black and combustible gas, from the medical waste, but also can reduce harm to the environment.

3. End-of-life rubber and tires, including big car/truck/OTR tires, small car/bicycle tires, rubber cable sheaths, rubber carpets, rubber shoes, rubber yoga mat, etc. This type of MSW can also generate RDF fuel with pyrolysis technology, like tire pyrolysis oil, carbon black and combustible gas. And in addition to the RDF fuel, we can also obtain steel wire from waste tires, which can also be sold directly for more profits.

All in all, through pyrolysis technology can process many types of MSW components, but the suitability and efficiency of conversion may vary depending on factors like waste composition, moisture content, and the specific pyrolysis technology employed. Some pyrolysis systems may require preprocessing steps like sorting, shredding, or drying to optimize feedstock characteristics and ensure efficient and safe operation. Additionally, the RDF fuel produced through pyrolysis technology can have varying properties depending on the input MSW. and the obtained RDF fuel can be used as a fuel source in cement kilns, power plants, or other industrial facilities, either alone or blended with conventional fuels, after proper treatment and quality control.
