Return of the Experience in Two RDF Waste-to-Energy Plants in Italy
In recent years, the Waste-to-Energy market in Italy has undergone significant changes, mainly driven by the use of waste with a high calorific value, particularly RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel). Our work will describe the experience gained through the projects of two Italian Waste-to Energy (W-t-E) plants: Pozzilli (IS) and San Vittore del Lazio (FR), during the last 2 years of operation.

The incinerators that burn RDF have some additional criticalities compared to traditional ones, mainly due to the presence of melted ashes, which tend to form important deposits on the surface of the vaporizing screen and on the superheaters too. Another important element is represented by the particular type of RDF combustion, whose volatile ashes continue to burn, completing the combustion along the radiant chambers.
