| Objectives | The key objectives of the project and the research carried out were: To test the efficacy of the unique Fairport waste management process To produce enough biomass fuel products from the biodegradable element of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) to enable appropriate trials for multiple fuel usage and industrial purposes to be carried out To identify and assess a renewable biomassfuel product that will be suitable for ROC s To identify markets for other biomass products that fall outside ROC s classification. Total project value = 1769999. DTI grant = 442499 | |
| Abstract | The basic plant configuration on the DTI demonstration plant project is split into four main stages: Waste reception and preparation; Infeed and wet preparation; Process and Primary Recovery; Separation and Material Classification (Biomass Density Separator). Summary of Main Results : The trials programme confirmed the process, operation, mechanical arly weeks of operation exceeded the EA limits and action was taken in conjunction with the EA to reduce these emissions duringthe trials. | |
