An extensive engineering analysis has been performed on the nine U.S. facilities where refuse-derived fuel (RDF) has been prepared using front-end processing and cofired with coal or oil in utility boilers. The sites include Ames, Iowa; Baltimore County, Maryland; Bridgeport, Connecticut; Chicago, Illinois; Lakeland, Florida; Madison, Wisconsin; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Rochester, New York and St Louis, Missouri. The work effort is directed towards the ultimate objective of developing industry guidelines for RDF processing and cofiring. The paper describes the correlation of utility plant operating experience with the associated RDF properties and the correlation of RDF properties with the associated RDF processing schemes.

Key Words: Air classification • ash • electric utilities • heating value • magnetic separation • moisture • processing • refuse-derived fuel • screening • shredding.
