Waste to energy conversion technology (Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy)

From Teru's Bookshelf

Waste to energy conversion technology (Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy) provides an integrated, comprehensive reference on waste to energy (WTE) conversion technology. Introductory chapters review the waste hierarchy and WTE systems options along with the corresponding environmental, regulatory and techno-economic issues facing this technology. This coverage is extended with reviews of the development of WTE systems, from initial processing and pretreatment of wastes onto the range of combustion and advanced conversion and energy recovery technologies, including anaerobic digestion routes that can also utilize landfill gas. The final section reviews the highly developed pollution controls applicable to these systems, as well as routes to optimize overall systems performance and approaches to integrate WTE technology into local power and heat networks.

Authors: Naomi B. Klinghoffer is currently a PhD student at Columbia University, USA under the direction of Professor Castaldi. Marco J. Castaldi is Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at City University of New York. He has been involved in research and development in waste to energy and gasification technology for the last decade.
