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. 1, record 3, English, - refuse%2Dderived%20fuel%20incinerator

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. 3, record 4, English, - pile%20burner
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 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). 4, record 4, English, - pile%20burner

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. 3, record 5, English, - flash%20drying

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. 1, record 6, English, - Reducing%20and%20Sizing%20Blocks
