Abstract:

The present invention is a system and method for creating a coal replacement wood waste fuel produced from waste construction and demolition refuse. Construction demolition refuse is gathered and separated into recyclable items and non-recyclable items. Then, larger recyclable items are conveyed to a picking room and smaller recyclable items are screened to remove dirt and gravel. The larger of the smaller particles are then re-united with the larger recyclable materials. Non-fuel products are picked off a conveying system and discarded or recycled otherwise. The fuel products remaining on the conveying system are ground into a coal replacement wood waste fuel. Wet or dry fuel supplements may be added to the wood waste fuel. Additionally, the fuel may be gasified to create a burnable gas.
