Abstract:
Secondary (recycled) fibre paper mills within Europe are significant users of both heat and electricity. The cost of producing this energy is increasing year upon year. These mills are also significant producers of de¬inking sludge and reject waste material. The disposal of these waste fractions is both unsustainable and costly. The focus of this work is to utilise the waste fractions produced at secondary fibre paper mills for the on¬site production of combined heat and power (CHP) using advanced thermal conversion methods (pyrolysis and gasification). This paper summarises the most successful experimental results obtained from (i) the fixed bed downdraft gasification of blends of pre¬conditioned brown paper mill rejects with wood chips in a 10 kg/hr Imbert type gasifier, (ii) the intermediate pyrolysis of de¬inking sludge in a newly patented 20 kg/hr intermediate pyrolysis reactor and (iii) the performance, emissions and combustion characteristics of an indirect injection (IDI) multi¬cylinder CI engine fuelled with de¬inking sludge pyrolysis oil¬biodiesel blends.
