Accordant Energy starts building municipal solid waste treatment plant in South Carolina 09 March 2018
US: RePower South, a licensee of Accordant Energy, has started building a municipal solid waste (MSW) processing plant at Moncks Corner in South Carolina. The unit will use Accordant's ReEngineered Feedstock technology to process 50t/hr of MSW to make the company’s ReEngineered Feedstock product, a type of refuse-derived fuel (RDF). ReEngineered Feedstock will be marketed to cement plants and other industrial users.
"The RPS team has decades of experience in the recycling, solid waste, energy, finance, and construction industries, having built, owned, and operated multiple recycling and solid waste companies. We are confident this first commercial facility utilising the Accordant technology will improve recycling performance and landfill diversion while providing a renewable solid fuel for cement kilns and utility and industrial boilers," said Paula A Calabrese, Senior Vice-President and Chief Strategy Officer of Accordant.
Accordant says that its ReEngineered Feedstock product can be engineered for a variety of combustion applications and is physically and chemically designed to mimic the properties of coal. The product also holds a non-waste fuel determination from the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) allowing regulatory benefits for its users.
