Types of RDF Used in Cement Industries
- High Calorific RDF: Rich in plastics, textiles, and rubber; ideal for clinker production.
- Processed Industrial Waste RDF: Includes packaging waste, rejects from recycling plants, and industrial residues.
- Customized RDF Fuel: Tailored particle size, moisture, and calorific value to match kiln requirements.
Importance of RDF in Cement Manufacturing
- Reduced Fossil Fuel Dependency: Substitutes coal and petcoke with alternative fuels.
- Lower Carbon Footprint: Reduces CO₂ emissions and supports decarbonization targets.
- Waste Diversion from Landfills:
- Cost Optimization: Stabilizes fuel costs and reduces long-term operational expenses.
Key Components of RDF Waste Management
Collection & Feeding
Waste sourced from municipal and industrial streams is fed into the RDF system.
Shredding & Size Reduction
Heavy-duty shredders reduce waste to kiln-compatible sizes.
Metal Separation
Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are removed to protect the kiln equipment.
Screening & Refinement
Material is refined to achieve a uniform, dust-free particle size and calorific value.
