Rdf-fired combined heat and power plants
Transform refuse-derived fuel (RDF) into renewable energy, effectively reducing reliance on natural gas while maximizing energy output and minimizing emissions, perfect for continuous high-demand industrial applications.
Converts Waste to Renewable Heat and Power
The RDF-fired Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants from HoSt Group are tailored for industries aiming to enhance energy self-sufficiency by turning refuse-derived fuel (RDF) into dependable renewable heat and power. These plants utilize a robust firing grate system combined with a water tube boiler, designed to withstand high chlorine and sulfur content in waste fuels, preventing corrosion with an Inconel layer. The modular plants are optimized for various waste types, such as SRF, demolition wood, and paper sludges, complying with Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) and Best Available Techniques (BAT) standards.
Capable of producing 10-20MW of thermal energy and 1-6MW of electrical output, these systems are ideal for paper, packaging, recycling facilities, and district heating sectors. They deliver consistent steam and energy production while capturing and converting CO2 to gaseous bioCO2 or food-grade liquid CO2. The high-pressure steam soot blowers ensure the continuous operation, and the NO-NOx flue gas cleaning technology maintains stringent emission standards. Easily integrable with existing power generation lines, these plants reduce reliance on natural gas and minimize the CO2 footprint, offering significant energy and cost savings.
With flexibility in handling solid fuels up to 250mm, these systems come with options for customized integration and support, bolstered by HoSt Group’s engineering expertise. The RDF boilers not only contribute to lowering energy costs but also provide a sustainable solution for waste management companies and energy producers seeking effective waste-to-energy conversion.
