Taking into consideration limited financing of waste processing industry in Russia, refuse derived fuel production is becoming a promising course to decrease MSW landfilling at minimum cost, as the method allows safe energy recovery in existing cement kilns and precalciners. For its part, the cement industry pursues a lower level of fuel expenditure, which accounts for about 20% of total production cost. In this regard, fossil fuel substitution for fuel from waste is a mutually beneficial solution, linking the interests of both cement and waste processing industries.
The potential demand for refuse derived fuel (RDF) has been assessed for 59 currently operating cement plants, considering their technology and capacity. The evaluation has been made for RDF from MSW on conditions that RDF is compliant with EN 15359 demands for class 3. The matching of geographical location of cement plants and MSW sources has been made to take account of transport availability limitations.
Based on the data developed, the regions of the Russian Federation for which RDF manufacturing is a promising option have been detected, the potential contribution of the method to the total MSW processing has been quantified. The number of such regions is 34 (from 85).
There has been evaluated potential energy saving in Russian cement industry by means of partial substitution of fossil fuels for refuse derived fuel. It has been shown, that in engineering terms the feasible annual demand in RDF makes up 4 802 000 tonnes.
With transport limitations considered, RDF total possible consumption makes up 4 794 000 tonnes, which is equivalent to 6,5 million tonnes of CO2 emission reduction and can save 8,1·1010 GJ of energy. Production and use of such volume of RDF will enable a safe and low-cost decision for processing of up to 12 million tonnes MSW annually.
