Engineered fuel feed stock

摘要

Disclosed are novel engineered fuel feed stocks, feed stocks produced by the described processes, and methods of making the fuel feed stocks. Components derived from processed MSW waste streams can be used to make such feed stocks which are substantially free of glass, metals, grit and noncombustibles. These feed stocks are useful for a variety of purposes including as gasification and combustion fuels.

主权项

1. A method of producing an engineered fuel feed stock from a processed MSW waste stream, the method comprising the steps of:
a) selecting a plurality of components from a processed MSW waste stream which components in combination have chemical molecular characteristics comprising,
a carbon content of between about 30 wt % and about 40 wt %,a hydrogen content of between about 3 wt % and about 10 wt %, and b) combining the selected components of step a) to form an engineered fuel feed stock; wherein the engineered fuel feed stock contains biodegradable waste and non-biodegradable waste and is substantially free of glass, metals, grit, and noncombustible waste.
