The characteristics of organic sludge/sawdust derived fuel

Bioresour Technol. 2011 May;102(9):5406-10. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2010.11.007. Epub 2010 Nov 9.

Abstract

A fundamental study of the characteristics of a sludge refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and the combustion behaviors were done. The test data demonstrate good results for the development of energy recovery technology of organic sludge or waste. The ash deposit formation propensity has been based on pretreatment, temperature and the ratio of organic sludge to sawdust. The usage of organic sludge and waste as an alternative fuel is cost effective and has environmental benefits.
