Axion Polymers adds two alternative fuels to product range

The fuels are designed to be suitable for use in the cement industry and energy-from-waste sectors, Axfuel High CV Polychip Grades A and B are fully-processed, technically-separated and high CV fuels. Their particle size distribution makes them ‘free flowing’ for use in bulk storage, handling and transport systems supplying main burner fuel infeed in cement kilns and other similar combustion plants.

 

Derived from end-of-life automotive and electrical waste resource streams, both grades have very low moisture, chlorine and ash content, the company says. They are manufactured as part of Axion’s large-scale materials recycling system, which uses a unique separation and sorting process to extract a quality-controlled alternative fuel for use in energy generation and other thermal processes.

 

Axfuel High CV Polychip Grade A has a higher calorific value with similar energy content to powdered petcoke fuel, while Grade B has a greater mix of other combustible materials, such as wood and rubber. Both are available in large loads.
 

“In line with our principles of treating alternative fuels from waste as products, we ensure that they are of consistently high quality to meet the technically-demanding specifications of our end markets, Axion Polymers Director Keith Freegard says. “Giving waste materials a ‘second life’ as an alternative high-energy feed is an attractive option for companies who want to demonstrate their environmental credentials.”
