In its first application in China, an FLSmidth HDR63-315 HOTDISC® combustion device is integrated in the 3800tpd calciner kiln of Hongshuihe Cement to handle municipal solid waste (MSW) with a high moisture content and low calorific value. By Zhou Lun, FLSmidth Beijing Ltd, China.
To safely and completely dispose of virtually unclassified municipal solid waste (MSW), China Resources Cement subsidiary Hongshuihe Cement Co Ltd built a 300tpd co-processing system, incorporating an FLSmidth HDR63-315 HOTDISC® combustion device (see Figures 1 and 2) at its cement plant in Binyang, Guangxi, China. The system consists of waste preprocessing, waste pyroprocessing, leachate and gas treatment, all designed to meet environmental requirements. Figure 3 illustrates the process flow at the plant.
