Abstract
This research project characterized the effects of burning a Combination of binder-enhanced densified refuse-derived fuel (b-dRDF) pellets and coal in a commercial-scale electrical generating facility. Pelletized b-dRDF has been burned in coal combustors, but only in quantities of less than 3% in large utility systems. This research investigated using b-dRDF in quantities up t o 20%. Through thisresearch, project participants gained operating, technical, and economic viability data that will be critical for the near-term commercial use of b-dRDF.
