RDF, an Answer to Waste


Waste management concept is to eliminate waste on earth. If not to diminish it all, minimizing the garbage is one of the main reasons why companies and the government are working on having a safe waste management procedure. For the tons and tons of garbage that we produce every day, there are different types of waste management that is being practiced today. There are different types of waste management that is conducted to different kind of waste materials.

Waste management is not just working on eliminating waste but also to make use of waste into good use. There are different kinds of products that can be produce from waste to which it is properly created in waste management procedure. Refuse-derived fuel - RDF is one product that is being produced from waste material. It is a fuel that can be used to provide electricity. Shed and burn is the main procedure in making RDF. Municipal solid waste like plastics and biodegradable waste which are separated from metals and inert waste materials are the main components in the creation of RDF.

There are different steps in processing Refuse-derived fuel (RDF). The process may or may not include size screening, preliminary liberation, coarse shredding, magnetic separation and refining separation. There are different stages in sorting out the waste that will be use in processing Refuse-derived fuel (RDF). Recyclable materials and metals are separated from the mixture which will be sold to the market including other waste materials that won’t be used in the process.

The main concern in processing Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) is the possible explosion in the area during the shredding and burning process. But it has been minimized in terms of improving the equipments that is being used and providing systems that can minimize the explosions. Explosion-suppression system is being used and proven effective in reducing explosion. Properly sorting out of waste materials before processing for Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) also helps because it hazardous and dangerous materials will be remove and not feed up to the shredder which may cause the explosion. Using equipments like slow speed shredder than high speed can also avoid possible disasters.

Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) market includes power plants which uses fuel instead of coals for their boilers to provide electricity. Cement kiln industry are also using RDF as their source of energy.  Properly managing of waste can result into good use and not just one of the problems in our planet.

Benefits of Mangrove Planting

Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees that grow in tropical and subtropical seashores. These areas are hard-hitting places for plants to grow. Mangroves can thrive in salty water and survive in harsh conditions because of their strong roots that can filter the salinity of the sea and only consume the fresh water it needs. Aside from its ability to stand against the salty water of the sea, Mangrove is also well known to contribute to the overall health of the coastal area by providing food, shelter and environmental protection for marine organisms, nest dwellers and even humans living near seashores. This family of shrubs traps and rotates different elements, chemicals, and minerals. Their roots acts as block and provide environmental protection for some various marine organism such as fish and seashells. They also provide food for various marine species such as oyster, shrimp, tarpon, jack, and snook. Not only the marine organisms benefit in mangroves, but their branches also serve

Save the Endangered Species of Davao

Davao Region or Southern Mindanao is located southeast of Mindanao. Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, and Compostela Valley. The Davao Gulf is bounded by these regions. Davao City is its regional center. As it lies outside the typhoon belt, rainfall is evenly distributed though out the year. The area is shielded from the rough weather by Mount Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines. This makes the fauna and flora of the region flourish, nurturing diverse and unique species. But pollution, deforestation, and excessive hunting left these species endangered. The most renowned endangered species of Davao is The Philippine Eagle . It is similarly called Haribon or monkey-eating eagle. Only found in the Philippine islands of Mindanao, Luzon, Leyte, and Samar, it is among the most endangered species of its kind in the world. Length-wise, it is the largest among its kind. Its broad-spanned wings ensure powerful flights. Due to its being rare and majestic features, private

Importance of MRF – Material Recycling Facility

What is MRF? MRF or Material Recycling Facility also known as Material Recovery Facility integrates conveyors system which is used for material recovery or recycling. It has sorting machinery wherein it divides recyclables according to end marketable usage. Normally, there are two different types of MRF, the clean and dirty MRF’s. Significance of MRF As we know it, recycling is one method of conserving our natural environment. And MRF systems play an important role in doing the method of recycling in a large scale basis. As an essential component of innovative waste management system by means of recycling, MRF greatly helps in conserving the environment. It lessens the extraction of our natural resources thus creating a more sustainable way of manufacturing new products. Aside from that is decreases the amount of waste materials in our community thus prevents the spread of environmental contaminants that may also bring dangers in human health. MRF also offers high processin
