Economic and engineering analysis of a selected full-scale trommel screen operation

Description: The trommel screen located at the Baltimore County municipal solid waste processing plant operated by Teledyne National was evaluated for a 1-year period. This trommel is used to remove noncombustibles from refuse derived fuel (RDF) and thereby reduce ash content and increase heating value of the RDF. The trommel is 8 m in length, 3.7 m in diameter, has 32-mm holes, and can be operated at 6 to 12 rpm. Economic operating and maintenance data were collected for the period November 1980 through Oc… more

Analysis of the financial impacts to the industrial energy user of using coal or municipal solid waste in a new process-steam-generating plant

Description: An analysis is presented of the financial impacts to the industrial energy user of using either coal or MSW in a new process-steam-generating plant. The results of the analysis indicate that the use of coal or solid waste, rather than oil, in a new energy production plant represents an attractive investment. The financial analysis is based on replacing an existing oil-fired plant with a new plant financed via 100-percent debt. The analysis was structured to cover a range of steam demands, diffe… more

Waste-incineration resource-recovery system for Dayco Corporation and Colleton County, South Carolina: feasibility study

Description: The development of an alternative fuel brought about by the chemical changes of solid waste materials in the presence of heat is addressed. The pyrolyzates predominantly will be carbon monoxide (low-Btu gas) and carbon particles, with carbon monoxide representing about 75 to 80% of the total. The low-Btu gas will be used to replace and/or as a substitute for such fossil fuels as natural gas and fuel oil. From a technical and economical viewpoint, it is suggested that the low-Btu gas be used as … more

Feasibility study for utilization of landfill gas at the Royalton Road Landfill, Broadview Heights, Ohio. Final report

Description: The technical viability of landfill gas recovery has been previously demonstrated at numerous sites. However, the economics of a full scale utilization system are dependent on proper market conditions, appropriate technologies, landfill gas quantity and quality, and public/purchaser acceptance. The specific objectives of this feasibility study were to determine: The available markets which might purchase landfill gas or landfill gas derived energy products; An extraction system concept design a… more

Treatment of biomass gasification wastewater using a combined wet air oxidation/activated sludge process

Description: A lab-scale treatability study for using thermal and biological oxidation to treat a biomass gasification wastewater (BGW) having a chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 46,000 mg/l is described. Wet air oxidation (WA0) at 300/sup 0/C and 13.8 MPa (2000 psi) was used to initially treat the BGW and resulted in a COD reduction of 74%. This was followed by conventional activated sludge treatment using operating conditions typical of municipal sewage treatment plants. This resulted in an additional 95% C… more

Pulsed-flow air classification for waste to energy production. Final report

Description: The development and testing of pulsed-flow air classification for waste-to-energy production are discussed. Standard designs generally permit large amounts of combustible material to escape as reject while producing a fuel that is high in metal and glass contaminants. Pulsed-flow classification is presented as a concept which can avoid both pitfalls. Each aspect of theory and laboratory testing is summarized: particle characteristics, theory of pulsed-flow classification, laboratory testing, an… more
