This paper describes the Albany New York Solid Waste Energy Recovery System (ANSWERS), which consists of two plants — a City-owned refuse-derived fuel (RDF) plant, and a State-owned boiler plant in which RDF is burned. This paper is chiefly concerned with the City-owned RDF plant, and describes shakedown tests, problems encountered and solutions developed. Operational statistics and operations policies for the City-owned plant are discussed. Laboratory measurements of the heating value of RDF samples are compared with results actually achieved in the State boilers.

The City

The City of Ames, IA (City) processes 220 tons per day of municipal solid waste (MSW) at their Arnold O. Chantland Resource Recovery System (RRS). This facility is depicted in Figure 1. The objectives of this facility have both an economic and an environmental component: to reduce the amount of MSW that is otherwise disposed in their local landfill, thereby increasing the life of the landfill; and produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF) to reduce the amount of coal consumed at the City’s municipal electrical generating station. [Note: Approximately 70% of the MSW is converted into RDF, comprising 10 to 20% of the feedstock to the generating station.]
