RDF - presorted, more <br />uniform combustion, efficient, material burns at hotter temperature, <br />emmissions lower, material prepared for burning comes out fluffy. low <br />moisture material. Mass-burner - no presorting, everything burned, burns <br />at lower temperature. <br /> <br />Red Wing Mass burner. 100 ton per day.

Scrubber designed to reduce <br />amount of acid gases. PCAS has limits on sulphur dioxide, no <br />standards for hydrogen chloride, Sherco 3 plant will generate 100 <br />times more sulphur dioxides even with a scrubber than the RDF plant <br />will. RDF will emit more hydrogen chlorides. <br />
