Production of refuse-derived fuels

We get the high calorific waste we need to produce our RDFs from industrial sites across the whole of Germany as well as from neighbouring countries. One of the benefits of our logistics system is that our tank farms are situated all around the country and close to Germany’s borders. If you wish, we can also organise the collection and transport of your waste from start to finish. Whether it be by road, rail or canal – we have the tankers, tank wagons and barges needed to collect both large and small quantities of liquid waste stored, for example, in drums or IBCs. And, as the waste producer, you can be sure that we will always process your waste into a quality-assured recycled material that can be used to produce resource-friendly energy. This is all made possible thanks to our in-house logistics and the strong collaboration work between our tanks farms.

We also produce solid refuse-derived fuels at our processing plant besides our liquid RDFs. A different production system is used, however, to do this. The incoming materials must undergo a multi-stage process before becoming a finished product. The first step is to cut up the materials so that they are all the same size. Depending on what formula is applied, the shredded material is then transformed into a free-flowing mixture with sawdust or polyurethane powder and organic dust. Following this, the material is screened until the particles are smaller than 40 millimetres in size. Finally, the material is analysed in our own laboratory to check that all of the benchmarks and threshold values required by our customers – who are normally cement works here, too – have been met.
