국내 최초의 생활폐기물고형연료(RDF) 생산플랜트인 원주시 RDF플랜트의 2009년도 운영실적을 정리하여 폐기물 처리단가를 분석하였으며 에너지 생산 효과도 분석하였다. 실적분석에 사용된 자료는 원주 RDF플랜트 위탁운영업체가 운영비를 청구 및 정산하기 위해서 원주시에 상시 측정 및 보고하는 항목으로서, 내용은 트럭으로 플랜트에 반입되는 폐기물 전체량, RDF생산 전체량, 불순물 매립 전체량, 건조 및 탈취용 연료사용 전체량, 전기사용 전체량 등이다. 2009년도 원주시 RDF플랜트에 반입된 폐기물 량은 총 17,504톤이었고, RDF를 총 7,044톤 생산하였으며, 4,120톤의 불연물을 선별하였다. 1년간 사용한 건조 및 탈취용 연료는 총 596,268 리터였으며 연료인 부생유의 가격은 리터 당 평균 864.6원이었다. 사용한 전기량은 총 2,435,397 kWh였고, 이 중에서 성형공정에 사용된 전기량은 총 사용량의 19%였다. 이상의 기록자료들을 분석해 본 결과, 폐기물 1톤을 처리하는데 전기 비용이 14,334원이었고, 연료비가 29,452원이었다. 여기에 폐기물 1톤당 불연물 매립비 6,573원과 위탁인건비를 합하면 폐기물 1톤당 처리비용은 약 116,573원으로 나타났다. 현재 원주시 RDF는 톤당 25,000원에 판매되고 있으므로 이 비용을 감안하면 폐기물 1톤당 처리비용은 105,298원으로 산출되었다. 현재 알려진 유사 규모의 소각로 운영비가 폐기물 1톤당 136,736원인데, 이것은 RDF기술보다 31,438원/톤-폐기물 정도 처리비용이 비싸다. 따라서 100톤 이하 규모의 폐기물처리시설 설치를 할 경우에는 RDF 시설이 경제적으로 타당함을 나타낸다. 원주시 RDF플랜트의 물질수지를 분석해 본 결과, RDF생산 수율은 40.2%였으며 총 투입된 에너지는 8,0587 Gcal였다. 생산된 에너지 총량은 RDF발열량 4,500 kcal/kg으로 했을 때 31,699 Gcal로 나타났다. 투입대비 생산에너지 비율은 25.4%로 계산되었고, 전기의 발전효율을 40%로 감안했을 경우에는 35.3%로 계산되었다. 성형하는데 사용되는 총 에너지는 전체 투입에너지의 4.9%로 나타났고, 비용으로는 폐기물 1톤당 2,723원 이었다.

고형연료(RDF)는 가연성 폐기물을 성형된 형태로 만드는 것으로 화석연료의 대체 에너지로 이용되어질 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 일반 소각설비에 비해 수송성, 저장성이 뛰어나며 발열량이 거의 일정하여 연소 안정성이 우수하고 액체연료나 기체연료의 비해 경제성과 안정성이 높다는 장점이 있다. 하지만 고형연료의 미량 포함되어 있는 중금속 물질에 의해 연소장치의 부식이나 시설 노후 촉진화와 같은 원인을 제공하며, 심각한 환경오염원의 전구물질이 생성될 수 있어 실용화에는 큰 장해 요인이 되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에는 고형연료의 재료가 되는 폐기물을 분석하여, 중금속성분이 미치는 영향을 조사하고 부존자원의 최적 이용 방안을 도출하며, 이를 바탕으로 부존자원 액상/고상 연료화 기술, 부존자원 복합이용시스템, 폐열활용 시스템과 같은 기술에 적용하여 부존자원 재활용 및 에너지를 최적 활용할 수 있는 D/B 구축을 하는 것이 최종 목표이다.

Numerical study was investigated to obtain the database for developing a fast pyrolysis power boiler by waste fuel. The studies with various conditions were performed using ANSYS FLUENT. Also, the fuel properties was experimentally analyzed to utilize the input parameters for numerical analysis, that were proximate and ultimate analysis, reaction kinetics included pyrolysis and combustion. The results showed that temperature, combustion and exhausted gases was changed with heating value of fuel and feeding rate. Finally, the stable operating condition by analyzing results was proposed.

To verify the utilization of fluff refuse derived fuel (RDF) as energy source, the combustion charateristic has been studied by an experimental combustion furnace under various temperatures. The characteristics of flue gas, dust and residue from fluff RDF combustion has been analyzed and compared with those of pelletized RDF. From this work, it was found that the incomplete combustion of fluff RDF was greater than that of pelletized RDF because the combustion reaction rate of fluff RDF was faster than that of pelletized RDF, and oxgen concentration in fluff RDF combustion decreased rapidly. It was also found that carbon monoxide concentration of flue gas from fluff RDF combustion increased with combustion temperature because the oxygen consumption and the incomplete combustion increased. Therefore, it is felt that the combustion operation conditions of fluff RDF should be carefully determined.

A basic research for utilizing solid refuse fuel (SRF) based on changing SRF properties (RDF, RPF) and types (pellet, fluff) is demonstrated. Physicochemical characteristics of SRF and also changes in thermal decomposition depending on combustion time and emission gas (NOx, CO, HCl, etc) concentration were investigated for applications to waste energy sources. In conclusion, RPF is easy to pelletize, and has better combustion efficiency, higher LHV, higher thermal reduction, and short combustion time because it is composed of plastic wastes homogeneously. Also, fluff type samples have better combustion efficiency, and short combustion time because it has wider exposed surface area for combustion. It can also save energy consumption for pelletizing.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the characteristics of combustion by analyzing fuel gases from a combustion equipment with various combustion conditions for refuse-derived fuels (RDFs). CO gas is a parameter for indicating of incomplete combustion during a combustion process. The lowest CO gas was produced when the experiment conditions were m=2 under air-fuel condition and $800^{\circ}C$. $CO_2$ gas is a final product after complete combustions. The highest amount of $CO_2$ gas was produced when the experiment conditions were m=2 under air-fuel condition and $800^{\circ}C$. The highest level of $SO_2$ gas was produced in S.1 sample containing the highest sulfur. The highest level of NOx gas was produced in S.1 sample with the highest nitrogen content and air-fuel condition of m=2 under temperature of $800^{\circ}C$. HCl gas that is generated by reacting with metals catalyst through oxygen catalyst reaction during combustion process is a precursor of dioxin formation. The higher level of HCl gas was produced in the sample with higher chlorine content. The lowest level of HCl gas was produced when the experiment conditions were air-fuel condition of m=2 and $800^{\circ}C$. The lowest level of $NH_3$ gas was generated when the experiment condition was m=2 under air-fuel condition and after 3 minutes. Air-fuel condition is more important to create $NH_3$ gas than operating temperatures. Higher level of $H_2S$ gas was generated in S.1 sample with the higher sulfur content and was created in RDFs that contain higher mixture ratios of sewage sludge and food wastes. A result of combustion, gases and gases levels from the combustion of S.1 and S.2 were very similar to the combustion of a stone coal. As results of this research, when evaluating the feasibility of the RDFs, the RDFs could be used as auxiliary and main fuels.
