ENVIRONMENTAL ENERGY & FINANCE CORPORATION

Environmental Energy & Finance Corporation (EEFC) is a Developer/Owner of Renewable Energy Projects. Along with its partners, EEFC provides expert solutions in mini hydro electric, wind, solar, Waste to Energy (WTE) and Waste to Fuel for power generation and electrical transmission and distribution Systems and specialize in the development of MSW and RDF processing. Process of Converting Waste to Energy Generally, WTE facilities can be divided into two process types: mass burn and refuse-deriv... ed fuel (RDF). Mass burn facilities process raw waste that has not been shredded, sized, or separated before combustion, although large items such as appliances and hazardous waste materials and batteries are removed before combustion. In mass burn systems, untreated MSW is simply burned, with the heat produced converted into steam, which can then be passed through a steam turbine to generate electricity or used directly to supply heat to nearby industries or buildings. RDF is a result of processing MSW to separate the combustible fraction from the noncombustible’s, such as metals and glass. RDF is mainly composed of paper, plastic, wood, and kitchen or yard wastes, and has higher energy content than untreated MSW. Like MSW, RDF is then burned to produce steam and/or electricity. A benefit of using RDF is that it can be shredded into uniformly sized particles or compressed into briquettes, both of which facilitate handling, transportation, and combustion. Another benefit of RDF rather than raw MSW is that fewer noncombustibles such as heavy metals are burned.More
