Subject field(s)
  • Waste Management
  • Biomass Energy
  • Combustion and Fuels (Fireplaces)
CONT

Refuse-derived fuel is used in dedicated refuse-derived fuel incinerators, in paper mill furnaces, in cement kilns, power plants and also in district heating plants. The main type of combustion system for refuse-derived fuel is the fluidised bed, where the waste-derived fuel is fed to bubbling bed of hot sans(typically at 800°C) where the waste combusts.

Record 4 2007-08-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
  • Biomass Energy
DEF

A type of biomass combustion burner in which a pile of fuel burns on the grates.

OBS

Primary combustion air comes from above the grates, not below.

CONT

The boilers are fed wood fuel from the main fuel bin located adjacent to the boiler house. The boilers are the "pile burner" type, which burn wood in a large pile on the floor of a refractory lined furnace box. Combustion efficiency with this type of boiler is generally low but pile burners are simple and therefore relatively inexpensive. Low combustion efficiency also means that emissions such as particulates and carbon monoxide are relatively high. One notable advantage to these systems is that high moisture content fuels can be burned as well as "dirty" fuels containing debris.

CONT

Pile burner : Boilers incorporating a pile burning design find applications where the anticipated wood fuel has a high(up to 65%) relative moisture content, as is found in whole green tree chips, bark, and green mill residue. Grates serve to support the fuel, and underfire air flowing up through the grates provides oxygen for combustion, cools the grates, promotes turbulence in the fuel bed, and dries the fuel. The most common form of pile burning is the Dutch oven, which was used almost exclusively during the early part of the century(Guinn and Turner 1990).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Wastewater Treatment
  • Water Pollution
CONT

Two other heat-treating processes applied in sludge incineration are the flash-drying incineration system and the fluidized bed reactor. Flash drying involves pulverizing wet sludge cake with recycled dried solids in a cage mill. Hot gases from the incinerating furnace suspend the dispersed sludge particles up into a pipe duct where they are dried. A cyclone separator removes the dried solids from the moisture-laden hot gas which is returned to the furnace.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement des eaux usées
  • Pollution de l'eau
OBS

[...] sous le nom de "flash roasting" (qu'on peut traduire par grillage éclair), on désigne la technique de Freeman [...] qui consiste à brûler littéralement la pyrite finement pulvérisée.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Tratamiento de aguas residuales
  • Contaminación del agua
DEF

Eliminación del agua de un lodo de depuradora por tratamiento a una temperatura muy elevada.

Record 6 2000-08-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metal Rolling
CONT

After the breakthrough of the so-called Precision Sizing Blocks(PSB) and the reducing and Sizing Blocks(RSB) in the mid-eighties, there has been a continuous development until today... the RSB replaces the last two or four stands in the bar finishing or wire rod pre-finishing mill. The RSB, therefore, rolls either all necessary pre-sections for the wire rod finishing block or the finished bar products for coiling into the pouring reels, as bar in coil(BIC), or for straight bar lengths onto a cooling bed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Laminage (Métallurgie)
CONT

Le RSB (Reducing and Sizing Blocks) remplace les deux ou quatre dernières cages dans un train finisseur à barres ou dans un train préfinisseur à fil [...] Le RSB combine en un seul bloc des cages de réduction et des cages de calibrage.
