1、Designation: D 6700 01 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Practice forUse of Scrap Tire-Derived Fuel1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6700; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A nu
2、mber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers and provides guidance for thematerial recovery of scrap tires for their fuel value. Theconversion of a whole scrap
3、tire into a chipped formed for useas a fuel produces a product called tire-derived fuel (TDF).This recovery practice has moved from a pioneering concept inthe early 1980s to a proven and continuous use in the UnitedStates with industrial and utility applications.1.2 Combustion units engineered to us
4、e solid fuels, such ascoal or wood or both, are fairly numerous throughout the U.S.Many of these units are now using TDF even though they werenot specifically designed to burn TDF. It is clear that TDF hascombustion characteristics similar to other carbon-based solidfuels. Similarities led to pragma
5、tic testing in existing combus-tion units. Successful testing led to subsequent acceptance ofTDF as a supplemental fuel when blended with conventionalfuels in existing combustion devices. Changes required tomodify appropriate existing combustion units to accommodateTDF range from none to relatively
6、minor. The issues of properapplications and specifications are critical to successful utili-zation of this alternative energy resource.1.3 This practice explains TDFs use when blended andcombusted under normal operating conditions with originallyspecified fuels. Whole tire combustion for energy reco
7、very isnot discussed herein since whole tire usage does not require tireprocessing to a defined fuel specification.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate
8、safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
