Municipal Solid Waste to Energy Conversion Processes: Economic, Technical, and Renewable Comparisons
Municipal Solid Waste to Energy Conversion
Processes: Economic, Technical, and Renewable Comparisons: A technical and economic review of
emerging waste disposal technologies, this book is Intended for a wide audience ranging from engineers and
academics to decision-makers in both the public and private sectors. The author reviews the current state of
the solid waste disposal industry, and details how the proven plasma gasification technology can be used to
manage Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and to generate energy and revenues for local communities in an
environmentally safe manner with essentially no waste.
Beginning with an introduction to pyrolysis/gasification and combustion technologies, the book provides many
case studies on various waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies and creates an economic and technical baseline from
which all current and emerging WTE technologies could be compared and evaluated.
Topics include:
- Pyrolysis/gasification technology, the most suitable and economically viable approach for the management of
wastes
- Combustion technology
- Other renewable energy resources including wind and hydroelectric energy
- Plasma economics
- Cash flows as a revenue source for waste solids-to-energy management
- Plant operations, with an independent case study of Eco-Valley plant in Utashinai, Japan
Extensive case studies of garbage to liquid fuels, wastes to electricity, and wastes to power ethanol plants
illustrate how currently generated MSW and past wastes in landfills can be processed with proven plasma
gasification technology to eliminate air and water pollution from landfills.
