A technical and economic review of emerging waste disposaltechnologies
Intended for a wide audience ranging from engineers andacademics to decision-makers in both the public and privatesectors, Municipal Solid Waste to Energy Conversion Processes:Economic, Technical, and Renewable Comparisons reviews thecurrent state of the solid waste disposal industry. It details howthe proven plasma gasification technology can be used to manageMunicipal Solid Waste (MSW) and to generate energy and revenues forlocal communities in an environmentally safe manner withessentially no wastes.
Beginning with an introduction to pyrolysis/gasification andcombustion technologies, the book provides many case studies onvarious waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies and creates an economicand technical baseline from which all current and emerging WTEtechnologies could be compared and evaluated.
Topics include:
* Pyrolysis/gasification technology, the most suitable andeconomically viable approach for the management of wastes
* Combustion technology
* Other renewable energy resources including wind andhydroelectric energy
* Plasma economics
* Cash flows as a revenue source for waste solids-to-energymanagement
* Plant operations, with an independent case study of Eco-Valleyplant in Utashinai, Japan
Extensive case studies of garbage to liquid fuels, wastes toelectricity, and wastes to power ethanol plants illustrate howcurrently generated MSW and past wastes in landfills can beprocessed with proven plasma gasification technology to eliminateair and water pollution from landfills.
