The SRF market is growing year on year with a significant capacity within the UK and the EU waste material markets. Turning waste into a commodity not only allows you to access offtake at a lower price point, but improves your green credentials too.
Advetec can help you generate SRF on-site and then support you to sell that within the renewable fuels market.
SRF is a high-quality fuel, produced by refining waste through processes including shredding and dehydrating. SRF can be used to replace carbon-emitting coal, as an ingredient of sustainable aviation fuel and in gasification or pyrolysis to produce green gas for heating homes.
The quality of any SRF produced depends primarily on the waste that has been processed to create it. Most commonly, industrial and commercial waste is used for the production of SRF, but a lot of non-recyclable, exhausted, or contaminated waste can also be successfully turned into SRF using our technology.
There are strict control parameters to ensure that the composition of the SRF meets customer compliance obligations. Moisture content, caloric value, ash, and chlorine content all make a difference in the chosen offtake route.
Ensuring that the SRF end product has the same characteristics every time has been a challenge for most waste handlers who have tried breaking into the market.
Advetec’s XO Biotechnology allows you to better control and predict the composition of the end product, making it possible to produce SRF on-site.
It is critical to provide evidence on the consistent and effective performance of our XO technology in treating residual Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and on the quality of the resulting floc. This provides confidence to the regulators, users of the floc (SRF offtakes) and to our customers.
We have processed residual waste from a number of sources through our XO technology to demonstrate the effectiveness of the process.
The resulting floc has been sampled and tested independently, as well as by the SRF offtakes we work with, to demonstrate its quality as SRF. This sampling and testing also demonstrated that our process stabilises the floc, so that it doesn’t create offensive odour or break down further.
The analysis completed measured the full range of characteristics as required by SRF and all have been shown to be within the typical parameters expected.
Scientific data and the ability to proof a stable supply of a quality end product make a difference.
Our highly skilled, experienced team will help you to establish if your waste stream is suitable for SRF offtake, and support you in securing it at a competitive price. We will aid you in navigating your way through permits, logistics, and quality control. We work with a number of organisations that are looking for new suppliers of quality waste derived fuels.
The first step in our process is ensuring that our technology will deliver results you are looking for.
