Research on MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) Gasification by CFB (Circulating Flue Bed)

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper proposes application of municipal solid waste CFB gasification as well as of the possible plant configurations and the environmental performances of the main commercially available gasifiers for municipal solid wastes. The case indicates that gasification is a technically viable option for the solid waste conversion, including residual waste from separate collection of municipal solid waste. It is able to meet existing emission limits and can have a remarkable effect on reduction of landfill disposal option. However, the operational difficulties experienced at several pilot and demonstration plants indicate that long-term operating results from a large industrial plant are needed before gasification can be considered a reliable alternative to combustion.
