Description:
This study program has the overall objective of evaluating boiler performance and environmental feasibility when combusting densified forms of refuse derived fuels (dRDF) blended with coal and fired in a modern industrial spreader stoker-fired boiler. The results reported herein represent the second phase of a two-phase evaluation program. Phase 1 was conducted in an institutional spreader stoker heating boiler. During Phase 1 285 tons of dRDF were combusted. The results of that test are reported in EPA Report No. 600/2-80-095. Phase 2 demonstration testing was conducted in a larger industrial spreader stoker boiler. In a period of 402 hours, 1702 tons of dRDF were co-fired with coal. An additional 231 hours of coal baseline testing was completed to provide a basis of comparison for the test results.
