Why combustion of Wastes?
  • Treatment
       – Volume reduction
  • Prevention
       – Decrease green house gas emissions
           • Avoid methane formation
       – Control emissions – leakages
  • Production
       – Energy recovery
  • MSW can be a raw material and not only waste

Notas del editor

  1. The slide shows the relation between the 3 first functions and the three top steps in waste hierarchy. This slide can emphasize the importance of waste source separation for having sustainable waste management.
  2. Why should we perform MSW combustion? It is clear that this is necessary if the amount of landfilling are to decrease in a relatively short period of time. I have chosen three main categories to further describe the benefits with combustion: Treatment, Prevention and Production. With treatment means for example volume reduction (the volume of the solid waste will decrease with 90-95% when combusted). Preventions includes the prevention of more potent green house gases like methane which is formed in the landfills and even with modern techniques, it is difficult to construct a landfill where all produced methane is collected and utilized). But it can also be a mean to prevent water pollution by reducing the leakage (a smaller landfill is more easily controlled). Finally, it is possible to produce a useful product from MSW by combustion. This is when the liberated energy is transferred to an energy carrier (like steam) and hence the bonding energy within the MSW materials can be recovered to a high degree.
  3. Here you can see the schematic of the MSW combustion facility in Borås. It is a fluidized bed boiler which mean that the material has to be pretreated before it enters (the incoming material must not be to large) but this on the other hand opens up for an efficient metal separation. After the combustion the hot flue gases passes through a number of heat exchangers where high pressure steam is produced (59 bar and 410°C). Finally gas cleaning occurs before the flue gases are released.
