An eco–sustainable model on energy recovery from municipal solid waste
In the present day situation, the toxicity in municipal solid waste has increased to a very high level leading to various problems. The main purpose of the study is to improve the quality of mixed solid waste by adding locally available biomass. It was observed that the feedstock for refuse derived fuel and biomethanation contains 12% and 20% toxicity, respectively, as a result degrading the ...

What is energy recovery?
Processes like incineration and anaerobic digestion not only provide sources of energy, but they also reduce waste volume The term “energy recovery” often is applied only to a narrow number of methods for converting wastes into energy, when in fact it applies to a broad range of technologies used to create heat, electricity, or fuel. Energy recovery gives governments and businesses ...

Municipal solid waste - waste to energy conversion in India: an overview
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is generated in enormous quantities, in India, causing environmental problems. It is collected primarily by sweeping in India and dumped on the outskirts of urban areas, which pollute the environment. Such MSWs also release methane and carbon dioxide, which are important greenhouse gases. MSW comprises biodegradable material. The MSW disposal methods in India mainly ...

Biomethanation of solid wastes: analysis of case studies
Management of the organic fraction of urban solid waste using anaerobic procedures will contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and using biogas, which is a carbon neutral energy, to generate electrical energy will eventually help in reducing the combustion of fossil fuel. Energy recovery in the form of biogas from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generated in three different ...

Technifying treatment plants to improve the classification of plastic containers
The United Nations has just approved the first international agreement against plastic IN which 175 countries commit to drawing up plans to reduce the impact of plastic throughout its life cycle. A historic and binding resolution to end the pollution of an industry that has multiplied its waste in recent decades, generating 400 million tons annually. This resolution is the most important global ...

Final CISWI rule
On March 21, 2011, in parallel with publication of the Boiler National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) rules and the Non-Hazardous Secondary Material (NHSM) rule, EPA promulgated the final updates to the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and Emission Guidelines (EG) for Existing CISWI Units, collectively referred to as the “2011 CISWI Rules.”1 The 2011 ...

Evaluation of resource recovery through a Waste-to-Energy plant operating with municipal solid waste
On 1 December 1984, an inter-local joint enterprise agreement was entered into between the Alexandria Sanitation Authority and the Arlington Solid Waste Authority (the 'Authorities'). The Joint Enterprise was formed to design, construct, equip, test and operate a solid waste to energy facility having an installed capacity of 975 tons per day of mixed Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). ...

The MEFLO method`s application for the feasibility assessment of energy recovery from municipal solid waste in a small integrated municipal service system
The paper presents the MEFLO ranking method and the Simple Integrated System Management (SISMan) concept for assessing the feasibility of integrated energy and Waste Management System (WMS) alternatives. The MEFLO method is based on dividing the decision-making process into five modules, including mass, energy and financial flows, legislative criteria (e.g., environmental restrictions and target ...

The Future of Secondary Materials as Fuel
Many questions related to the regulatory status of facilities that use secondary materials as alternative fuels are anticipated to be answered in 2010. In simple terms, if a combustion source uses a secondary material that is characterized as solid waste as an alternative fuel, then that source could be subject to a Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 129 standard. If the same source used a secondary ...

EPA proposes updates to CISWI rules
On June 4, 2010, the U.S. EPA proposed updates to the Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (NSPS) for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units (NSPS Subpart CCCC) and Emission Guidelines (EG) for Existing CISWI Units (EG Subpart DDDD), collectively referred to as the "CISWI Rules." In order to describe the proposed updates to the CISWI Rules, it is necessary ...

Unconventional fuels are the future of the waste industry
The concept of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) isn’t a new one – it’s been around for many years – but with an increasing focus on the environmental agenda from the Government and businesses, 2019 has been an important time for innovations in this arena. Our MD, Simon Webb, recently spoke to The Energy-from-Waste Network about the role alternative fuels played in 2019 and their ...
