To safely and completely dispose of virtually unclassified municipal solid waste (MSW), China Resources Cement subsidiary Hongshuihe Cement Co Ltd built a 300tpd co-processing system, incorporating an FLSmidth HDR63-315 HOTDISC® combustion device (see Figures 1 and 2) at its cement plant in Binyang, Guangxi, China. The system consists of waste preprocessing, waste pyroprocessing, leachate and gas treatment, all designed to meet environmental requirements. Figure 3 illustrates the process flow at the plant.
