Significance of RDF to Our Environment


Refuse-derived fuel or RDF is the secondary fuel produced by shredding municipal waste (MSW) converting it to energy. Noncombustible materials like metals and gas are removed prior to making refuse-derived fuel. The production and use of the secondary fuel has been helpful to the community and to assess the environmental impacts of using and producing Refuse-derived fuel (RDF), it is necessary to compare this practice with not using Refuse-derived fuel as an alternative for waste management.

The production and use of Refuse-derived fuel is connected with various environmental effects. In general point of view, the protection of resources is likely to be the main ecological rationalization for the production and utilization of refuse-derived fuels. This indirect environmental benefit should be considered an absolute environmental impact.

The process of series production and use of refuse-derived fuel goes with several direct impacts, starting with the collection and transportation of waste from which refuse-derived fuel is generated. The production of refuse-derived fuel has at least two direct environmental impacts. The production of RDF is an innovation on both wastes to energy. It helps resolve the problems due to consumption of energy means, and it lessens the process discharges in the air and water that makes it the sole purpose of the production of refuse-derived fuel which is to eliminate waste in exchange for clean fuel.

The production of refuse-derived fuel was first introduced in the energy market of the Philippines. The RDF machine utilizes a method known as the RDF biosphere gasification technology in which solid wastes are broken down in controlled extreme heat. RDF method is more efficient and the level of carbon gas emission is much lower. Various biosphere facilities are now being constructed in different places in the Philippines. Many local governments support this technology in participation in the Biosphere Zero-waste campaign. The invention of refuse-derived fuel envisions turning every bits of waste in the planet into a clean and green energy production.

The potential of the production of Refuse Derived Fuel to ultimately solve the both waste disposal and energy generation problems is being recognized all over the world. Even the United Nations launched its campaign to promote the construction of RDF facilities all over the world. Refuse-Derived Fuel can also be the answer from oil dependence. The efficiency of oil has made it the most highly sought source of energy in the long run even with the increasing levels of awareness of its harmful effects on nature and the environment. With hopes for the future, the invention of RDF biosphere machines and production of RDF energy is anticipated to break the chains of oil dependence and bring true economic and environmental security to all nations.

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...

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...

9 Steps to Eating Healthy

Ever felt like you’ve neglected your body and general health for a while now? It’s never too late to curb the urge to binge and begin the journey to eating healthy. Don’t be discouraged: eating healthy is never about depriving yourself of your favourite food. Rather, it’s about learning some nutrition basics and using them in a way that works for you and your lifestyle. Here are 9 steps to take: TAKE IT SLOWLY, BUT SURELY Trying to create a healthy diet overnight isn’t at all realistic. Changing everything at one go usually leads to cheating or giving up on your meal plan. Gradual changes like adding a salad to your meals once a day or using olive oil instead of butter when cooking may be small steps, but as they become a habit, it will be easier for you to replace your usual food items with healthier choices. Think of water and exercise as part of your diet as well. Water helps flush out toxins and cleanse our bodies, while exercise has a wide range of physical (and even psychologi...
