ABSTRACT:
A system for handling refuse derived fuel (RDF) devised to make RDF fired power plants practical, that includes a method and apparatus for receiving, storing and discharging, distributing and feeding RDF at the plant that accepts such material for fuel, which has been shredded to a predetermined nominal size and usually has most of the ferrous metals removed therefrom, which system includes a relatively large activated bin for primary surge capacity purposes that initially receives and stores the RDF, to provide a binned quantity of same from which as continuous flow of the RDF can be generated that will result in a pulsation free, steady supply of RDF to the plant furnace or furnaces, for firing the power plant involved, with one or more trains located adjacent the locale of the plant furnace to be fired, each of which includes several metering activated bins that are actuated to supply an underlying vibrating feeder that conveys the RDF to the furnace fuel chute, with the activated metering bins of each train being supplied from by one, or parallel, vibrating conveyors. For some trains, two metering bins can be provided for redundancy, that is, for the purpose of using either of such bins to supply the RDF to the vibrating feeder underlying same in the event that one of such activated bin arrangement does not operate.
