Reliable measurement of chlorine in RDF by means of a pilot combustion plant

Therefore, a new method of measuring the chlorine content of fuel was developed with the help of combustion experiments in a pilot combustion plant. The measurement of the calorific values and the chlorine contents of various types of waste is difficult and imprecise due to the problematic representative sampling of waste, necessary preparation and splitting and small amounts of samples. For this reason the "Fachgebiet Abfalltechnik" of the Institute for Water, Waste, Environment built a pilot combustion plant (TVA) in which the calorific values and contents of pollutants were determined by balancing the mass and energy of the combustion.
