Quality Assurance of SRF for Cement Industry on the Example of the SRF-production Plant ThermoTeam
In Austria, the quality criteria for waste fuels burnt in co-incineration plants are defi ned in the “Waste Incineration Ordinance†and the “Guideline for Waste Fuelsâ€, where limit values are given for the heavy metals content which are related to the heating value. When fossil fuels like coal etc. are substituted by different types of alternative fuels, a constant quality with well-defined properties (e.g. chemical - in present paper chlorine content) is required.
In the meantime, the useof SRF in the Austrian cement industry has reached a thermal substitution rate of fossil feedstock of 72.4 % (data for 2013) and has become the so-called “state of the artâ€. In the largest Austrian SRF production plant ThermoTeam (treatment capacity 100,000 tons/year), various non-hazardous wastes from household, industry and trade (i.e. high calorific valuefraction from mechanical (biological) treatment plant, non-recyclable plastics from plastic sortingplants, etc.) are used for production of high quality and quality assured SRF for cement industry. In the meantime, the plant was expanded with a NIR-sorting (PET and PVC) machine based on the near-infrared technology (NIR).
