Waste-to-Energy

Waste-to-energy is the process of generating energy from waste. Generally, this is done by combusting recycled municipal solid waste and industrial waste in grate incinerators or fluidized bed incinerators. Waste-to-energy plants and EfW facilities turn pre-processed waste into heat and electricity, which are directed to heating networks and electricity grids for communities and businesses to use. The main sources of energy are municipal solid waste and industrial waste. This mixed waste naturally contains various components of different sizes and with variable energy content. Sorting valuable metals and other nonflammable materials out before combustion increases the calorific value of the waste fuel and the WtE plant's energy production. Another key factor in the waste-to-energy process is the homogeneity of the waste fuel: particles that are the right size catch fire at the right time, burn steadily and produce the maximum amount of energy. Optimally shredded waste provides the continuous material flow that is needed for stable and efficient combustion. As a result, for example, there is less variation in emissions, meaning that the impurities can be filtered more effectively.

Retired Wind Turbine Blades Recycling SolutionsRetired Wind Turbine Blades Recycling Solutions

As wind power technology has evolved, the length of wind turbine blades has gradually grown to capture more wind energy. Back in 2014, researchers in the UK surveyed more than 500 wind farms and found that older WTGs built in the 1990s were still producing 3/4 of their power after 19 years. They concluded that most WTGs should be able to run longer than expected, around 25 years before needing to be upgraded.However, as we all know, at some point even the best things must come to an end. While the key to moving the wind industry forward is to continue to reap the benefits of clean energy, there is also a need to consider what to do with the units when they are retired. While the number of retired WTGs worldwide is still low, it will continue to grow as the wind industry expands on a large scale.Fortunately, most WTG components are recyclable, including foundations, towers, gearboxes and generators. WTG blades, however, are difficult to recycle due to their composition.Most WTG blades are composed of

Waste textiles mainly come from two aspects: one is from production enterprises, which will produce waste staple fiber, waste yarn, silk return, waste cloth noil, etc. in various processes of spinning, weaving and finished product production and processing. On the other hand, it comes from discarded textiles in daily life, such as

Energy Recovery from Municipal Solid Waste

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) contains organic as well as inorganic matter. The latent energy present in its organic fraction can be recovered for gainful utilisation through adoption of suitable Waste Processing and Treatment technologies. The recovery of energy from wastes also offers a few additional benefits as follows:The total quantity of waste gets reduced by nearly 60% to over 90%, depending upon the waste composition and the adopted technologyDemand for land, which is already scarce in cities, for landfilling is reducedThe cost of transportation of waste to far-away landfill sites also gets reduced proportionatelyNet reduction in environmental pollutionEnergy can be recovered from the organic fraction of waste (biodegradable as well as non-biodegradable) basically through two methods as follows:Thermo-chemical conversion: This process entails thermal de-composition of organic matter to produce either heat energy or fuel oil or gas;Bio-chemical conversion: This process is based on enzymatic

Automobile Shredder Residue(ASR) RecyclingAutomobile Shredder Residue(ASR) Recycling

Auto shredder residue (ASR), also referred to as auto shredder fluff, shedder light fraction (SLF), residues from shredding (RESH) or simply “auto fluff” of “fluff”, is the fraction of an shredded end-of-life vehicle (ELV). In the past, it was landfilled. Now, They can now be sorted and recycled thanks to AIShred's sorting and shredding technology. It can prevent this useful and valuable material from taking up the dwindling space in landfills and contribute to a cleaner, safer environment. How ASR Produced?A discarded car is first partially dismantled. All liquids (oils, antifreeze, fuel, etc.) are removed from it. Batteries, tires and catalytic converters are also removed and sent for further processing. Depending on demand, other good parts can be dismantled and sold for use as spare parts. On average, about 10% of the car's weight is pre-dismantled. In a shredder, a car body is shattered into pieces the size of a fist. 70-75% of the various metals from the body are sorted and sold to smelters and

Fuel Processing for RDF, TDF and SRFFuel Processing for RDF, TDF and SRF

Since the beginning of the 21st century, more and more waste has been generated. In order to cope with the threat to the environment caused by the increase in waste, people have begun to use waste as fuel that can be burned in boilers for power generation or heating. We divide the fuel from waste into RDF, TDF, SRF according to different components and processing method of the waste. RDF(Refuse-derived fuel) is a fuel produced by sorting and shredding combustible materials contained in municipal solid waste (MSW) and industrial waste. Compared to fossil fuels, RDF is more affordable, abundant, and environmentally friendly. SRF(Solid Recovered Fuel) is a fuel produced by drying, filtering, and shredding solid waste, It is usually produced to meet the standards in Europe. The EN 15359 document gives the specifications for classifying SRF. Unlike RDF, SRF is a more refined material that is slightly more efficient than RDF, though it takes a more advanced process to make the fuel. TDF(Tire-derived fuel) is a

Industrial Crushers and Shredders for Biomass ProductionIndustrial Crushers and Shredders for Biomass Production

Every year, hundreds of billions of tons of organic biomass are formed on Earth - the waste products of living organisms. Biomass produces 10 times more energy than all the inhabitants of the Earth need today. Biomass ranks 5th in the list of renewable energy sources - after solar, wind, water and geothermal energy. Biomass sources are:fallen leaves and peat;wood and wood waste;human waste;industrial activity waste;special plants and cropsBiomass Processing MethodsThe conversion of biomass into fuel or thermal energy is carried out in five main ways:Incineration is the easiest and most popular way to obtain cheap energy from dry organic waste. During the incineration of waste, steam is generated in the boiler, the steam rotates the turbine, and that, in turn, moves the rotor of the generator that produces electricity. This method has a minus - the boiler becomes clogged with ash and soot, and production costs increase. Therefore, not all types of organic waste are used in direct combustion.Gasification is

Industrial Shredder for Alternative FuelsIndustrial Shredder for Alternative Fuels

Waste is a stable and profitable energy source. Material that has been used and disposed of can be turned into energy-efficient fuel to replace or complement other sources of energy in various applications. Waste fuels, often referred to as “alternative fuels,” are generally produced from municipal solid waste and commercial and industrial waste. Common types of alternative fuels are refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and solid recovered fuel (SRF). There is enormous potential in alternative fuels. They eliminate waste and limit the purchase of black energy sources. Removing impurities and substances with low energy content allows higher-quality waste fuel to be produced. An efficient and properly designed production process increases the calorific value of the waste fuel and ensures that the fuel is optimal for the application. This has a considerable positive impact on production and finances. We manufacture industrial waste shredders and provide maintenance and professional services for companies producing or
