It is the fundamental function that our plant fulfills which, thanks to the treatment of Urban Solid Waste , is able to give rise to RDF, the Fuel Derived from Waste which will then be used to produce electricity in plants suitable for this purpose. Here are the stages of this important transformation. Check in acceptance -When the waste arrives at the plant, a check is carried out both on the vehicles and on the personnel before letting it in at the entrance, to verify if they are authorized to have access. After this check, the vehicle weight is measured (gross weight) and after unloading in the "receiving" section, the vehicle returns to the weighing system to calculate the tare, in order to obtain the actual net weight of the waste conferred. The reception -The waste delivered is unloaded in a closed shed, where a "primary shredder", fed by a wheel loader, is used for the first treatment of the material. This shredding is used to give a first reduction in size, in order to dose the subsequent lines placed downstream in a uniform and constant way. During this journey, a first separation takes place, that of the ferrous materials present in the waste, which once separated from the rest of the waste are sent to other plants for the recovery of iron. Subsequently, the shredded waste undergoes the biostabilization processin biotunnel. This treatment takes place in closed spaces made of concrete, thus avoiding any leakage of odors and dust. The biotunnel treatment is intensive and homogeneous for the entire mass being treated and is monitored by a supervision and control system. RDF production -The separation of the dry fraction from the wet one, after biostabilization, is carried out with a "rotating screen" with calibrated holes. The "rotating screen" thanks to its turning action operates a classification of the material based on the dimensions. Subsequently, after a second separation from the ferrous materials to be sent for recovery, another separation of the material by specific weight takes place using "aeraulic", to obtain an optimal selection of RDF. After this phase, a second shredding takes place, necessary for the definition of the final RDF size. Transport -The RDF is then transported to the combustion plants for the production of electricity. It is possible to move it in bulk or in bales, with specific means regularly authorized by the National Register of Environmental Managers. To reduce RDF into bales, a “baling press” is used which allows the RDF to be compacted. The bales are wrapped with plastic film by a "filming machine" to facilitate and make safe the operations of storage and transport of the same RDF. In fact, the coating reduces the risk of uncontrolled shedding of material or damage to it by atmospheric agents. Scraps -All waste deriving from RDF production is transferred to the service emergency landfill, located within the same plant. Instead, all recovered wastewater, such as rainwater, process water deriving from biostabilization or leachate from the landfill, are collected and sent to authorized plants for subsequent treatment. Checks - Monthly, as scheduled, Environmental Monitoring is carried out in order to carry out all the checks required by the Law. << - Go back HERE'S HOW FUEL IS PRODUCED FROM WHAT YOU THROW Making fuel from waste.
