Focus Bioenergy No 6 2004: Waste - a source of energy of growing significance
We have to use the earth’s resources sparingly. Waste products that society generates can be recycled or used as a source of energy. Heat and electricity from waste combustion and biogas from digestion contribute some 8 TWh annually in Sweden. Waste stands for about 2 percent of used fuels in Swedish district heating. The importance of waste will rise rapidly in the near future. The potential for ...

Measuring Gases Produced by Waste Gasification to Improve Control and Efficiency
Waste gasification is a type of waste to energy process where waste material is used as a fuel to create heat, electricity or other chemical products. Specifically, in waste gasification, the waste material is decomposed in such a way to produce gaseous products, often known as syngas, a combination of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and some carbon dioxide.Conventional incineration uses heat and ...

Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System (PAWDS) - A novel approach to waste elimination aboard ships
The Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System (PAWDS) uses plasma energy, with temperatures over 5,000 oC, to rapidly and efficiently destroy combustible waste aboard ships. PAWDS has proven itself to be a viable alternative to traditional incinerators. In September 2003, Carnival Cruise Lines were the first to install a PAWDS aboard their 2,056 passenger (plus 1,000 crew members) capacity, M/S ...

Compatibility of Compacted Soils with Municipal Waste Combustion Ash Leachates
Hydraulic conductivity values for three compacted soils were used as indices of compatibility of the soils with two municipal waste combustion (MWC) ash leachates. Specimens of the three soils were compacted to 90% of proctor compaction (ASTM D 693) in double-ring permeameters and permeated first with water (0.005 N CaSO4) and then with MWC ash leachate. The hydraulic conductivity values of the ...

Effects of combustion efficiency on an Otto cycle
This paper explains how the combustion efficiency influence the performance of an irreversible Otto cycle under conditions of varying fuel-air ratio. The irreversibility of Otto cycle comes exclusively from the expansion and compression processes. It is assumed that some fraction of the fuel's chemical energy cannot be fully released inside the engine because of incomplete combustion. Amount of ...

Radiocarbon measurement of fossil CO2 emissions from waste incineration plants: A monitoring tool for CO2 trading in Denmark and Sweden
In several countries, an increasing share of renewable energy comes from waste incineration. Due to the content of fossil carbon in combustible waste, the fossil CO2 constitute a considerable share of the total CO2 emissions from combustion of municipal waste. The National governments in Denmark and Sweden have decided to include the emissions of fossil CO2 from municipal waste incineration ...

Waste co-incineration in the European Community, is the sky the limit?
The co-combustion of waste in industrial furnaces -co-incineration- attracts considerable interest in the European Community, because of the combination of perceived business incentives, regulatory developments, and the slate of available technological options. It was found, however, that EU-regulation developed to ensure safe and environmentally acceptable processing of waste represents a clear ...

Continuous Monitoring System Performance Through Electronic Systems
Hazardous waste combustion facilities are already familiar with most of the recordkeeping requirements included in 40 CFR 63, Subpart EEE due to previous compliance with the Boiler and Industrial Furnace (BIF) rule. The NESHAP, however, requires semi-annual continuous monitoring system (CMS) performance reporting that was not previously required under BIF. These provisions specify numerous ...

Choosing The Right Wood Charcoal Machine
Should your business provides extensive wood scraps and waste, you might like to take a look at a wood charcoal machine. These appliances transform wood waste into charcoal providing another avenue of revenue for your personal business. The problem for most of us comes if they have to find the right wood charcoal manufacturing machine. There are a variety of options in the marketplace, but not ...

Contained Gas Rule Changes A Laymen`s Discussion On A Complicated Topic Today`s OXIDIZERS becoming Tomorrow`s INCINERATORS?
New EPA regulations classifies "oxidizers" as "incinerators", meaning if this is not changed, the emissions standards and regulatory requirements associated with operating oxidizers become much more complex because incineration rules specify extensive recordkeeping, monitoring and reporting requirements. Last month, when EPA released new rules affecting the combustion of solid wastes most ...

What are the types of incinerators available?
Incineration is a viable alternative to Landfill. An incinerator can destroy and remove at least 99.99 percent of each harmful chemical in the waste it processes. When some extremely harmful chemicals are present, EPA requires that an incinerator show it can destroy and remove at least 99.9999 percent of contaminants in the waste. Ash remaining at the bottom of the combustion chambers likely ...

An economic feasibility model for ash use in flowable fill with integration of logistics and contaminant leaching factors
Encasement of utility cables and pipes in flowable fill monoliths formed in trenches requires the use of materials that satisfy both strength and contaminant leachability limits. Coal combustion ash is often readily available for use in flowable fill construction. The use of ash in desirably large quantities, calls for the determination and selection of the maximum ash mix fraction that meets ...

Project Tank Vapors - Case Study
Project Overview: In 2015 Questor was selected to provide emissions control for a truck loading and tank vapors at a Shell oil battery in Alberta, Canada. The waste gas stream consists primarily of rich gasses, ethane (~19 mol%), propane (~35 mol%), butane (~24 mol%) and remaining hydrocarbons, ~35 mscf/d of fuel gas is required to draw the low pressure waste gas stream into the thermal oxidizer ...

UK Abattoir – Rotary incinerator - Case Study
Designed to process animal remains 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, with the minimum of operator attendance. To optimise the plant’s performance and to enable waste to be processed and stored, irrespective of the status of the combustion plant, the waste is crushed into 50mm cubes. The material is then conveyed into a buffer hopper, which stores sufficient material to enable the plant to be left ...

Bioenergy and charcoal production: an alternative option for disposal of combustible municipal wastes
This project explored the possibility of using a CSIRO process to convert green waste (70,000 T/yr) to bioenergy. Tests conducted using CSIRO fluidised bed technique show that these wastes can be successfully converted to charcoal, and that this charcoal is very suitable for use as cooking fuels. The charcoal recovery rates achieved are also acceptable for commercial production and use as ...
