About RDF Fired Boiler
Gyantosh's RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) Fired Boilers turn processed municipal and industrial solid waste into useful steam and power — a genuine waste-to-energy solution that reduces landfill burden while recovering the calorific value locked in waste. RDF is produced by shredding, screening, and drying mixed waste to remove inerts and moisture, yielding a consistent, higher-calorific fuel suitable for controlled combustion.
These boilers are engineered to handle the specific challenges of waste-derived fuels — variable composition, moisture, and the corrosive/fouling nature of flue gases. Robust water-tube furnace design, generous furnace volume for complete burnout, corrosion-resistant heat transfer surfaces, and carefully controlled combustion temperatures ensure reliable operation and long service life.
Every RDF boiler is manufactured in compliance with IBR 1950 and IS 2825 using certified boiler-quality pressure parts. Multi-pass water-tube construction with automatic feeding and ash handling delivers stable steam output across the range of RDF feed rates.
With working pressures up to 67 kg/cm² and capacity designed around your available RDF feed, GyanTosh RDF boilers suit municipal waste-to-energy projects, cement plants, and industries seeking to convert waste streams into thermal energy while meeting environmental norms. Backed by over two decades of boiler engineering experience.

RDF Fired Boiler Specification
Fuels Used
Combustion Technology
A generous furnace and controlled combustion zone give RDF the residence time needed for complete burnout of heterogeneous waste-derived fuel.
Combustion temperatures are managed to balance complete burnout against chlorine-induced high-temperature corrosion of heat transfer surfaces.
Primary and secondary air staging ensures complete combustion of volatiles and minimises unburnt carbon and CO in the flue gas.
Continuous automatic RDF feeding and bottom/fly ash handling maintain stable steam generation with minimal manual intervention.

Advantages of a RDF Fired Boiler
Converts processed municipal and industrial waste into valuable steam and power, recovering energy that would otherwise be lost to landfill.
Diverting combustible waste to energy recovery dramatically reduces the volume sent to landfill, supporting sustainable waste management goals.
Material selection and temperature control specifically address the corrosive, fouling flue gases characteristic of waste combustion, protecting tube life.
RDF is a low-cost or negative-cost fuel, offering a compelling economic case where a reliable processed-waste supply exists.
Designed to integrate with acid gas control, bag filters or ESP, and continuous emission monitoring to meet stringent waste-to-energy norms.
Each boiler is sized around your specific RDF quantity, calorific value, and steam requirement for optimum performance.

After it is installed
Equipment is the start of the relationship, not the end of it. We handle installation and commissioning, boiler AMC, retrofits, plant audits, spare parts and operator training — on equipment from any manufacturer, not only our own.
