MWC unit capacity definition
MWC unit capacity means the maximum design charging rate of an MWC unit expressed in megagrams per day or tons per day of MSW combusted, calculated according to the procedures under sub. (9)(j). Municipal waste combustor unit capacity is calculated using a design heating value of
MWC unit capacity means the maximum design charg- ing rate of an MWC unit expressed in megagrams per day or tons per day of MSW combusted, calculated according to the proce- dures under sub. (9) (j). Municipal waste combustor unit capac- ity is calculated using a design heating value of 10,500 kilo- joules per kilogram (4,500 British thermal units per pound) for MSW and 19,800 kilojoules per kilogram (8,500 British thermal units per pound) for medical waste. The calculational proce- dures under sub. (9) (j) include procedures for determining MWC unit capacity for batch MWCs and cofired combustors and combustors firing mixtures of medical waste and other MSW.
