In ECORECOVERY’s SRF/RDF Plant, waste processing is designed to yield SRF in predefined Classes according to International Standards, based on Classification Characteristics as illustrated in the Table below:
Source:ISO 21640:2021:E / 2021-05 / ICS 75.160.10 "Solid Recovered Fuels - Specifications and Classes"
Besides the above basic parameters, SRF quality is outlined by the following crucial quantities, whose values are prescribed by the end-user:
- M(ar): Moisture Content [% in mass on wet basis, as received (ar)]
- P: Particle Size of the main fraction (>95 % in mass) related to size intervals
- A(d): Ash Content [% in mass on dry basis (d)]
To cover the range of high-quality Classes (Class NCV:3-Cl:3-Hg:3 to Class NCV:1-Cl:1-Hg:1), candidate waste streams are controlled for their origin and their physicochemical properties. Suitable materials are strictly selected from a reference list of Solid Non-Hazardous Waste, as suggested in the International Standards, including:
- Packaging Waste
- Commercial Waste
- Wood, Plastics & Rubber Waste
- Waste from Pulp, Paper & Cardboard Production & Processing
- Waste from the Textile Industry
- Reject Fractions through Mechanical Treatment of Waste from Material Recycling Facilities (MRF)
- Bulky Waste
- Waste from Forestry & Agriculture
- Waste from End-of-Life Vehicles
- Residual Municipal Solid Waste
With the use of different formulated SRF “Recipes” and the implementation of Quality Control Protocols, additional specific parameters can be adjusted (e.g. content of volatile matter, heavy or other metals, biomass etc.) in order to address the specific needs of various Industries as:
Cement Industry
Lime Industry
Power Plants
ECORECOVERY and its Network of Collaborators, provides tailor-made solutions in Waste Management, such as:
- Assessment & Analysis of Waste in collaboration with Accredited Quality Control Laboratory
- Waste Management in remote sites employing a Mobile Waste Sorting & Shredding Unit
- Certification of Waste Valorization through Energy Recovery
