Test and Inspection > RPF Quality and Standard Attestation System
Overview
  The RPF Quality and Standard Attestation System facilitates the use of waste plastic—which is difficult to recycle and usually burned or landfilled—as a recycled product by turning it into solid fuel.
Definition of RPF
  RPF is solid fuel made of combustible wastes (excluding designated and infectious wastes) which is produced after going through a selection, crush, dry, and molding process. It contains a certain level of moisture, and 60% or more plastic (according to its weight).
RPF Quality Standard
 
Contents Standard

Moisture 10% and below
RPF Size
 
In accordance with combustion a Diameter: less than 20mm
b Diameter: 20mm to 50mm
In accordance with HCI combustion Grade 1 50ppmv and below

Facilities Using RPF
 
 
Class a *Cement furnaces using RPF as auxiliary fuel within 30% and below of the heating value, which are equipped with a dry, half-dry, or wet treatment system (including treatment process) in order to treat acid gas, and with an electric precipitation or bag filter to treat fly ash.
*Thermal power plants of 10MW and above, and regional heating facilities using 2 tons and above/h of coal or 1,200 liters and above/h of liquid fuel.
*Industrial boilers, shaft furnaces of iron works, and sludge treatment facilities.
b Industrial boilers exclusively using 2 tons and above/h of RPF, which are equipped with a dry, half-dry, or wet treatment system in order to treat acid gas, and with an electric precipitation or bag filter in order to treat fly ash. They must also pass the performance test to ensure their performance is equivalent to that of an incinerator.
Class B *Industrial boilers exclusively using 200kg and above and less than 2 tons/h of RPF, which are equipped with a dry, half-dry, or wet treatment system in order to treat acid gas, and with an electric precipitation or bag filter in order to treat fly ash. They must also pass the performance test to ensure their performance is equivalent to that of an incinerator.
*Sludge treatment facilities using 200kg and above/h and less than 2 tons/h of RPF.
