RDF, SRF, TDF (waste to energy)
How can UNTHA help you produce RDF/ SRF/ TDF?
The XR shredder can produce an alternative fuel for under £3.00 per tonne, including wear spares, maintenance and power. And, thanks to the energy consumption savings alone, cashflow and operating costs can be reduced by 60% or over £40,000 per year, or £400,000 over the life of the shredder, compared to a diesel hydraulic machine. All of this with up to 80% increased yield on ferrous and non-ferrous material, which could pay for the machine in as little as 12 months!
UNTHA has manufactured many types of alternative fuels on almost every continent in the world. We’ve helped transform footwear production waste into a cement fuel in Vietnam; we’ve closed the loop for a recycled paper specialist in Belgium to transform pulper ropes into an energy source; and we’re currently working with operators in Australia to drive their Process Engineered Fuel (PEF) potential. The list goes on – every project is different, but our knowledge is driving change, globally.
UNTHA shredders have been engineered with flexibility in mind – they can handle multiple waste streams from tyres to mattresses, and produce varied output specifications, which safeguards operators against market volatility.
When we designed our waste shredders, we didn’t just prioritise throughputs. We also thought carefully about particle homogeneity, foreign object protection, noise and dust minimisation, energy efficiency, ease of maintenance and long service intervals. This all adds up to operational excellence and maximum bottom line impact for clients.
The expertise of UNTHA’s Energy from Waste specialists is sought at conferences in both the UK and overseas, to help drive understanding and education surrounding best practice RDF, SRF and TDF fuel production. We’ve worked with cement operators to close the loop and create a secure feedstock for the calciner or main burner; we’ve helped start-up business earn millions from this market; and we’ve transformed the profitability and energy efficiency of long-established WtE firms that have been doing this for years. As a result, we’ve spoken at events ranging from RWM, to the Energy from Waste Conference and Global CemFuels Conference.
Talk to us about trialling one of our RDF / SRF / TDF shredders on your own site, so you can put the machinery to the test using your own materials.
UNTHA has been at the forefront of the RDF, SRF and TDF manufacturing space for the last decade – we’ve even been consulted on the industry refinement of specifications to drive quality within the Waste to Energy Market. But we’ve not once rested on our laurels. We’ve continued to innovate, which sees the globally-renowned UNTHA XR lead the way when it comes to quick SRF (on-specification fuel) production in a single step.
