After non-combustibles are removed in refuse derived fuel plants, what happens to the waste?

In refuse-derived fuel (RDF) plants, after non-combustibles are removed, the remaining waste is typically shredded to produce pellets. This process enhances the material's density and size uniformity, making it easier to handle and transport for subsequent energy recovery or incineration. Shredding also ensures that the fuel is more homogeneous, which can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of burning it in energy generation systems. The production of pellets from the treated waste allows for more controlled combustion, which is critical for managing emissions and maximizing energy output.

While other methods such as storage, direct incineration, or recycling may be related to waste management, the specific subsequent step in this context, following the removal of non-combustibles in RDF plants, primarily involves the shredding of waste to create pellets for energy recovery processes.
