first of all thank you for the invitation mr. Gassman I like to speak about RDF for municipal solid waste and especially the opportunities in the gross and in technical equipments for the processing of municipal solid waste into RDF a short introduction about our company recapture of alternative what are alternative fuels how can all turn to fuels be processed the status of alternative fuels in the cement industry worldwide so that you can see which growth potential is available with the processing of alternative fuels how to develop such projects and how to process municipal solid waste into RDF first of all a short introduction about our company and BW latent back we are consultants advisors for the processing of alternative fuels from municipal solid waste and other wastes we also the editors of the alternative fuels and war materials handbook in the cement and lime industry whose handbook you will find in every second cement plant in the world we are doing trainings workshops together with cement associations all over the world and we have been developing projects for all cement groups in the world but also for other industries like coal fire power plants lime industries for waste management companies and institutions governments all over the world what are alternative fuels first of all we are dividing our turn to fuels in solid and liquid ones today speak mainly about solid alternative use especially about refuse-derived fuel or biomass dry fuels refuse derived fuel from municipal solid waste or from commercial and industrial wastes this is a selection of various alternative fuels posed from commercial industrial wastes but you see also RDF from household wastes sewage sludge waste wood and many others why is the cement industry using alternative use first of all when you look at the calorific value you see that the RDF for that as a bio masses have a quite high calorific value around four to four and a half thousand kilocalories why I am speaking kilocalories the cement industry is a very old and conservative industry so it's always speaking in kilocalories and not in kilojoule but to divert it in kilojoule you just need to multiply it by four point one the cement industry is using alternative fuel since around fifty years the process conditions in the cement plant are ideal to process any type of wastes in an environmental friendly and sustainable matter they have very high temperature of up to 1450 degrees they have a long retention time about five above five seconds above 1200 degrees so when you look at the hazardous waste incineration plant the temperature needs to be about 1150 degrees so the conditions in a cement plant are ideal to process refuse derived fuel or alternative fuels there are certain possibilities to feed in alternative fuels in a cement kiln first of all in I killed sign up or it's a main burner is recognized as a sustainable waste management solution because it has the highest energy efficiency even higher than in a waste-to-energy facility the ashes of the process are combined into the clinker matrix so you don't have any residues if you build waste-to-energy facility and you burn municipal solid waste still you have around one sort of material which is remaining a slag and ash which you have to dispose off not in a cement plant because the ashes are combined in the clinker matrix so it's recognized in the recycling Hiroki as recycling before when we look at the cement industry the world cement production in 2014 was around 4.3 billion tons 56% of the cement production is happening nowadays in China and the rest in the rest of the world okay 4.3 billion tons of cement and in almost every country in the zoo in the world you find cement plants many cement plants in Germany started to use alternative fuels some 30 years ago but when I started to work in the industry the substitution rate so the usage of alternative fuels in the cement industry was just starting nowadays the thermal heat in the German cement industry in average 63 or 64 point percent 64% of the tour thermal heat demand in the German cement industry is provided by alternative fuels that the consumption in the worldwide cement industry is around 150 million tons 150 million tons current use of alternative fuels in the cement industry this huge potential in the cement industry to use more alternative fuels and a big appetite to use more alternative fuels because alternative fuels are cheaper than fossil fuels this is a main driver we made some rough calculation if we achieve a 20% substitution rate only 20% substitution rate the total demand for refuse-derived fuel in the worldwide cement industry will be around 160 million tonnes if we increase to 60% substitution rate which is the current average usage of alternative fuels in Germany it will end up to around half a billion tons of alternative fuels 500 million tons I will give you some examples of waste streams which can be processed into alternative fuels use tires a common practice to be used in the cement industry you have old corrugated cardboard you have paper which cannot be recycled you have biomass such as rice husk you have mix plastics packaging a very important theme especially now in the hope after China has closed the borders carpet and wax so many defined industrial streams which can be processed easily into alternative fuels not let's concentrate on municipal solid waste where you have a mixture of everything these are pictures from projects all over the world in Pakistan in India in Egypt in many countries and waste all this is different so how can you process this waste into all 20 fuels first of all by knowing exactly what you are feeling and what you have so we are doing waste sorting tests these are some examples in India Pakistan Lebanon Turkey makedonia the ways to sort to define what is a fraction which can be processed into alternative use and what is the fraction of organic wastes which have to be processed into compost or fertilizer or whatever so we know exactly the percent of RDF yields which can be further used in average or in this example you see in this area the types of waste which can be processed into alternative fuels this is unfortunately only a fraction of 23% means you have to pass is 1,000 tons of municipal solid waste to year 230 tons of RDF this is not much processing can be done easily if you screen presort primary shredding heavy fraction separation to separate stones metals heavy parts and then the secondary shredding to get a defined grain size but this is a small facility these facilities in operation in Portugal a project which we have done I think ten years ago where the company a gas man also delivered parts of the equipment with optical sorting systems DRAM screens in others but there are also bigger projects for municipalities it's a huge facility the material comes on comes delivered by normal trucks its unloaded in the reception hall when the material is transported by a float fully automated train to drum screens light and heavy fraction separation optical sorting systems to take out PVC to take out recyclables then handpicking separate clean organics for compost and fertilizer again ferrous metal separation and at the end a fraction which is processed into RDF I'd like to show small video Israel is constantly growing and the Tel Aviv area is a hub of business tourism and vibrant modern progress but modern life and higher living standards have a price increasing amounts of waste 3,000 tons of it daily in the Tel Aviv area alone the dam municipal sanitation Association operates the teria recycling park and strives to provide a national role model for developing and adopting effective technologies for dealing with municipal solid waste turning it into a resource and reducing the amount sent to landfills for over a decade against all odds the Association has promoted the RDF project as the best possible way to treat the waste of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area in a cooperative effort with nature Israel's leading cement manufacturers and the verities Group pioneer and ecology and infrastructures in Israel the RDF plant was built a state-of-the-art facility that sorts mixed municipal waste and produces waste based RDF fuel as well as various recyclable products RDF turning waste into energy [Music] hundreds of garbage trucks from 25 towns in the Tel Aviv area dumped municipal solid waste at the furious site each day the RDF plant is expected to take in over 1,500 tons of garbage daily about half the waste produced in the Tel Aviv area [Music] household industrial and commercial waste is loaded into shredders and bag openers from there it's conveyed to sorting lines the waste is sorted without human intervention it is sorted according to size by trommel screens at this point organic matter is separated out and sent to a facility which turns it into agricultural fertilizer bellows separate different types of waste according to their specific weight [Music] metals containing iron are sorted by a powerful magnet aluminum products are sorted using a weaker magnetic field [Music] optics or didn't identify substances using infrared rays [Music] all processes in the plant are fully supervised the quality of the RDF is constantly measured and tested the dry waste residue with high caloric value is used as an energy source this fuel substitute is called RDF refuse-derived fuel during the manufacturing process the refuse is conveyed to shredders and shredded into even 15 to 25 centimeter particles which are conveyed to the RDF storerooms the plant is expected to produce about 500 tons of RDF fuel substitute a day waste that used to be sent to landfills is now sent to the nature plants in Ramallah where it's used as a substitute for petroleum-based fossil fuels RDF is used as combustible material for the cement kilns replacing about 20% of the petroleum-based fuel consumed at the plant RDF is recognized worldwide as an environmentally friendly fuel substitute using RDF reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to petroleum-based fuels so next time you see a new building neighborhood bridge or interchange being built in Israel remember that our waste is a partner in Israel's growth and development the RDF plant is an Israeli pioneer in recycling and turning waste into energy when resources and technologies are combined with public willingness to change consumption and recycling habits it's no wonder that this joint effort to ensure a clean sustainable future bears fruit Korea recycling Park the Dan municipal sanitation Association [Music] RDF wastes contains moisture so you have more heat losses due to the evaporation you also need more air in the cement plants is to complicate it and you have to compensate it by additional petcoke of fossil fuels and you have an increase in the consumption of energy for the clinker production so it's of utmost importance to dry municipal solid waste before you process it into RDF typical drying processes is a biological drying process with biological treatment you have a maximum discharge of water out of the input material in a very short time the dried material is easier to separate so we can increase your capacity and we have a significant reduced water content in the RDF in the biological treatment and buying process the material is treated within a certain period of nine to ten days but the aerobic process the temperature increases and you see the temperature as stable for a certain time and the water is evaporated when such a project process it's possible to reduce the moisture content from let's say 40 percent to 15 20 percent within one week what does it mean drying this several technology so it's all for my the company a gas man which you have seen here for us biological drying if you devise a municipal solid waste in for the production of RDF we're coming back to the picture which I have shown you in the normal you have to tweet 1000 tons to get 230 tons of RDF if we dry the friction we can increase this from 1000 tones to 380 tones means your process as a higher yields a higher recycling rates extraction and more output of RDF which you can sell to the cement industry so in summary coming to the end alternative fuels will become a regular view as already started in Western Europe and in Germany and in many other countries I'm sure that within the next 10 years time almost all cement plants in the world will use alternative fuels so they will need municipal solid waste and companies which are processing municipal solid waste into RDF a 20% substitution rate only this amount will be around 160 million 65 million tonnes of RDF with 60% substitution which is easily to achieve in the big gains in many countries this will be a quantity of half a million billion tons per year half a billion more than drying technologies you can increase the yields Aria field which offer a sustainable waste management solution for the waste management companies and for municipalities with new technologies you have sustainable and competitive processing capacities which also will give a change in mindset because everybody knows that the century of coal has gun and we are now in the starting century of alternative fuels if you like to hear more about alternative fuels we have our own boot in for a six number two to nine it's a German waste management association but I'm also here for the next one or two hours or so and we can speak also to know at four o'clock and on Thursday at 4 o'clock thank you very much
