Waste incineration in new RDF power plant
A refuse-derived fuel (RDF) power plant is currently being built in Saxony-Anhalt which will be operational by mid-2024 and have an annual incineration capacity of 140,000 tons. This represents a necessary step towards replacing coal combustion in central Germany and supports the development of sustainable, virtually CO2-neutral industrial wax production. Loibl Förderanlagen GmbH is supplying the complete conveying technology for the new RDF power plant for deslagging and ash removal.
Deslagging process
The wet slag conveyor was installed in cramped conditions to save space, but with a clear width of 2,800 mm it has sufficient volume to cool down any combustion residues from the boiler room. It is equipped with a hydraulic tensioning aid that facilitates the chain tensioning process. Loibl wet ash and slag conveyors have a robust design and are efficient and easy to maintain even under extreme conditions. They cool slag quickly and efficiently. This facilitates the subsequent processing of the residues it contains, which can be efficiently separated with downstream conveying technology from Loibl.
Ash removal process
The ash removal system starts at three boiler passes, including the shot cleaning system. An emergency ash removal unit ensures that the ash falls into a sealed container in the event of a malfunction or during inspection work. As a rule, the ash resulting from the combustion process is collected by means of mechanical discharge conveyors, including trough screw conveyors and trough chain conveyors, and conveyed to the pneumatic part of the Loibl ash removal system. This ensures that the ash is transported to two on-site residue silos.
