Energy from Thermal Waste Treatment Sample Clauses

Energy from Thermal Waste Treatment. Many larger communities rely on incineration as an effective MSW management option. In this process, combustible components in the waste (primarily paper, wood, and plastic products) are converted into ash, flue gas, and heat, under excess air conditions. The heat generated from the incineration process can be used to produce electricity, and thus this technology is commonly referred to as waste to energy (WTE) in the US. The WTE process reduces the volume of waste requiring landfill disposal. While WTE is a proven technology and is relatively common in Europe, Asia, and some parts of the US, these facilities require a significant capital investment and a highly trained operational staff. As such, WTE plants are typically only feasible in locations where the amount of waste combusted is several hundred tons or more per day. In the US, the smallest plant is rated at a capacity of 175 tons per day (Xxxxxxx 2012). Thus the application of WTE technology or other emerging thermal waste processes (e.g., gasification) for remote, economically challenged communities is likely not feasible. Furthermore, some communities, may prohibit WTE and waste incineration by statute, so local regulatory rules should be consulted as part of an investigation of this technologies feasibility. Opportunities do exist for the use of thermal waste treatment as a disposal method in remote, economically challenged communities (without the recovery of energy). The reasons such technologies are not advisable, since they don’t include energy recovery, are described in the next section for completeness of the report.
