A numb
2、er in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () 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 tir
3、e 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 use s
4、olid 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 pragmatic
5、 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 min
6、or. 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 recover
7、y isnot discussed herein since whole tire usage does not require tireprocessing to a defined fuel specification.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand a
