US: RePower South (RPS) has reached an agreement with Montgomery, Alabama to operate the city’s materials recovery facility (MRF). RPS will invest US$12m in the City of Montgomery Recycling and Recovery Facility. RePower South has partnered with Bulk Handling Systems (BHS) and Loesche Energy Systems to upgrade the existing recycling system to also produce refuse-derived fuel (RDF) to be sold to cement, power stations and other industrial customers.
The system will process 45t/hr of mixed waste to capture cardboard, metals, paper, plastics and produce fuel. New equipment joining the existing BHS screen, Nihot air and NRT optical sorting technologies include a primary reducer, two NRT optical sorters for fuel cleanup, a Loesche fuel system reducer and PAAL Dokon baler. In total, the system features 10 optical sorters, ensuring the positive recovery of fibre and containers and removal of contamination from fuel.
Repower South holds an exclusive regional license from Accordant Energy for the development, manufacture and sale of ReEngineered Feedstock fuel.
