Description: Due to its primarily organic composition municipal solid waste (MSW) is a suitable feedstock for conversion by gasification to produce ethanol. Current technologies process the MSW into refuse-derived fuel (RDF) fluff before conversion. Bench and pilot-scale densification trials were conducted to determine the parameters required to produce a higher quality feedstock from the MSW RDF material in a pellet form. Characterization MSW-RDF fluff sample showed that the composition of the material was approximately 35% paper, 22% plastics, 14% fabrics, 6% organics/wood, and 23% fines by weight. The RDF was densified, as well as the biodegradable (paper and wood) fraction of the RDF stream to compare quality of pellets for the two material compositions. A single pelleting trial was conducted to examine the compaction parameters that would produce high quality pellets: sample material, grind size, moisture content, temperature and pelleting pressure. It was determined that quality pellets, for both materials, were formed at a grind size of 6.35 mm at 16% moisture under pelleting conditions of 90
