Optimizing Baghouse Performance in Waste-to- Energy Incinerator
An end user with many years experience, operating3 different Municipal Waste Incineration plants, decided to build a new “state of the art” plant. After fully investigating the performance of different types of filter media, he decided upon GORE-TEX® membrane on GORE-TEX® felt, as he was convinced that is was the “best available ...

Simulation of the plume emitted by a municipal waste incinerator in Madeira Island
TAPM (The Air Pollution Model) was applied to Madeira Island to simulate the behaviour of the plume of a municipal waste incinerator that was constructed in the southern slope of the island at an altitude of 1380 m. TAPM simulates very well the atmospheric flow that occurs around the island and inside the inner valleys under strong synoptic forcing. Validation tools reveal the good agreement ...

Atmospheric impact of a municipal wastes incinerator
This paper presents a case study of an air pollution dispersion model for the atmospheric impact assessment of a new municipal wastes incinerator (MWI). The capacity of the present MWI will increase more than ten times, and a new high-efficiency flue gas treatment system is projected. The environmental impact study has been focused on the long-term aspect of the air pollution (chronic pollution) ...

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 ...

Artificial carbonation for controlling the mobility of critical elements in bottom ash
In municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI), bottom ash, generated at a stoker grate type incinerator, the critical elements were identified in terms of EU regulation. The stabilizing effect of moderate carbonation (pH 8.28 ± 0.03) on critical contaminants was studied through availability and diffusion leaching protocols. Data from the performed tests were evaluated with the goal of reusing MSWI ...

The municipal solid waste incineration sector in Europe: a study of harmonisation and its impact
This article discusses how Sustainable Development and Quality Management meet a common target. Companies that excel in Best Available Technology (BAT) respond to expanding sets of expectation of the client and of the legislator. The paper analyses the link between governance, lobbying, and the emergence of economic and environmental feasibility of current quality management factors. In ...

Effect of drying on leaching testing of treated municipal solid waste incineration APC-residues
Air-pollution-control (APC) residues from waste incinerators are hazardous waste according to European legislation and must be treated prior to landfilling. Batch and column leaching data determine which type of landfill can receive the treated APC-residues. CEN standards are prescribed for the batch and column leaching test; however, these standards do not specify whether or not the residue ...

Improved understanding of the pozzolanic behaviour of MSWI fly ash with Ca(OH)
2solutionThe study aims at investigating pozzolanic behaviour of MSWI fly ash in a saturated Ca(OH)2 solution at various times. The raw and water–washed fly ashes were selected for the pozzolanic solidification experiment to which mass ratios of the solution to ash (ml/g) were adjusted to be 3 and 10, whereas the solidification times were set from 7 to 28 days and from one to three months. From the XRD ...

What factors are influencing waste to energy capacity requirements in the UK and Europe?
What factors are influencing waste to energy capacity requirements in the UK and Europe? How can the EU balance its EFW capacity going forward? As growth in municipal recycling has slowed to a crawl over the last five years, after racing from 11.2% in 2000/01 to 41.5% in 2010/11, the European target of 50% recycling by 2020 is beginning to look increasingly challenging. Let alone the 65% target ...

Waste incineration for urban India: valuable contribution to sustainable MSWM or inappropriate high–tech solution affecting livelihoods and public health?
Urban India is facing huge challenges in terms of population growth and resultant infrastructural needs. Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) still remains a challenge for urban local bodies. Municipal solid waste (management and handling) rules, 2000 was a first step in India towards organising the system, but till date the systems are largely insufficient and/inefficient. Focus on the urban ...

The problem of NOx emissions
The problem of NOx emissions The problem with Nitrogen compounds (NOx) emissions is that they contribute to generating the greenhouse effect. For example, N2O causes 300 times more damage than CO2. In addition, NOx combines with the humidity of the air in the atmosphere and is the cause of acid rain and is therefore very dangerous for the environment. ...

Study Charts a Future for Waste-Derived Fuels
Pointers to possible future EU policy initiatives to give co-incineration facilities burning waste-derived fuels a strategic role in waste management have emerged in a study for the European Commission.1 The report suggests a policy focus on promoting source separation of municipal wastes, active discouragement of mass burn incinerators, and a levelling of the regulatory playing-field for ...

What materials can be incinerated?
What Is Incineration? Incineration is the process of burning waste material at a high temperature as a way of disposal. This process is also known as ‘thermal treatment’. Incineration is now seen as an essential part of any waste reduction plan to minimise waste and the amount of waste that goes to landfill. What materials can I put into an Incinerator? When a material is burnt it ...

Advanced, integrated systems meet the challenges of commercial-scale operation
Technological frontiers in die alternative energy industry continue to widen in countries around the globe. As such, die exploitation of biomass as a source of energy has become die fastest-growing sector among a growing roster of energy solutions. Today, more energy is produced from various forms of biomass dian from all wind, solar and geodicrmal applications combined. Much of die excitement ...
