Alternative fuels –
waste-to-energy.
Alternative fuels are becoming increasingly more popular – for a good reason. For one, they serve as fractions of high heating value for energetic use as outlined in national and international laws. Furthermore, they substitute scarce and expensive fossil fuels, and that not only in energyintensive industries.
To produce alternative fuels, fractions of high heating value recovered from domestic waste, bulky waste, commercial waste as well as remains from recycling processes and industrial waste are used. Particular attention is paid to the carefully separated light fraction, which yields the major part of the overall heating value. Its characteristic as two-dimensional carrier and the low absorption of humidity determine the quality of the fi nal alternative fuel. The essential specifi c material characteristics of the alternative fuel are decisive for the plant’s layout and the functionality of the applied technical solutions.
