WASTE & RECYCLING INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS
Engineered hardfacing solutions for the most challenging wear environments.
Waste recycling plays an increasing role in modern economies as a way to reduce the use of natural resources and energy consumption. The process involves collecting, crushing, screening, shredding and reforming, all of which can cause significant wear of components. Commonly in waste-to-energy plants, municipal solid wastes including refuse derived fuels (RDF) are mainly used as a fuel, and a few kinds of industrial wastes are sometimes mixed to the fuel, while, in biomass power generation plants, biomass such as wooden wastes, agricultural wastes, sewages, etc. collected from areas near the plant site are burnt. Therefore, applied fuels and hence boiler conditions are usually different in each plant depending on the country or region. In order to achieve high performance in such waste recycling industries, application of highly erosion-corrosion-resistant engineered hardfacing solutions have become an important issue, which are essential for realizing a high thermal efficiency and a total economy of plant operation.
Moreover, the range of products being recycled is very impressive too with companies focusing on specific products rather than just general waste – plastics, rubber, metal, glass, electrical products, oil-filters, building waste, etc. Hardcarb offers a suite of powerful anti-wear hardfacing solutions in all areas of waste recycling. Following are a few examples where Hardcarb anti-wear solutions are regularly offered:
