Waste to Energy
Refuse Derived Fuel
(RDF) The final option before landfill is made from the process of MSW (Municipal Solid Waste). This product is burnt in incinerators to produce electricity and heat. This is mainly made from household waste. First of all the waste is shredded down to 400mm or smaller if required, we then screened to remove all of the organic material. This is then processed over magnets to remove any metals. It is then baled and wrapped and as with Solid Recovered Fuel it can either be exported by the boat load or in single articulated lorry loads.

Solid Recovered Fuel
(SRF) is a valuable fuel produced out of industrial waste and used as a replacement for coal within the Cement Industry. It is also used to replace fossil fuel such as coal and coke to heat cement kilns. This product, which is mainly used in the production of cement to heat the cement kilns and replace fossil fuels, it’s made up from all of the light waste that has been blown from the main plant by wind shifters, such as paper cardboard and light plastics. It is shredded down to various sizes and made to a set specification to suit the cement industry. This material is baled and then wrapped and can be exported by the ship load or on single articulated lorry loads.

Biomass Wood
Is fed through a shredder and is used for various purposes. All of our wood waste which is mainly arisen from construction and demolition sites is fed through shredder then screened. This is done so that the wood can be made to a size that meets the customers’ requirements. Sizes we can produce are 100mm to 75mm and 75mm to 40mm. The main specification that the Biomass Plants use is 100mm to 10mm, with the minus 10mm material being used for animal bedding.

SRF Pellets
SRF Pellets can be used within the energy supply chain including a source of hydrogen for gasification. SRF Pellets are made from materials recovered from municipal and commercial waste; they are a mix of dry waste materials such as wood, paper, card and non-chlorinated plastics.

Wood waste is mainly from construction and demolition sites, fed through the shredder then screened. This is done so that the wood can be made to a size that meets the customers’ requirements. Sizes we can produce are:
· 100mm — 75mm
· 75mm — 40mm
The main specification that the Biomass Plants use is 100mm to 10mm, with the minus 10mm material being used for animal bedding.

Tyres
Tyre derived fuel, TDF as it is more commonly known in the waste recovery sector. Tyre-derived fuel is made by reducing end of life tyres into shreds. The tyres go through a multi-stage process that takes the tyres into a product typically sized between 20-80mm to burn as a fuel source. Through this process most of the steel in the tyres is removed, along with much of the fibre. Tyre-derived fuel is widely regarded as a viable alternative to fossil fuels, producing a similar amount of energy as oil and up to 20% more energy than coal. Tyre-derived fuel produces less moisture, sulphur, nitrogen and ash residues, which results in lower carbon emissions for the environment.
