Waste-to-Energy: Technologies and Project Implementation

Waste-to-Energy: Technologies and Project Implementation, Third Edition covers in detail programs and technologies for converting traditionally landfilled solid wastes into energy through waste-to-energy projects. It includes coverage of the latest technologies and practical engineering challenges as well as an exploration of the economic and regulatory context for the development of WTE. In addition to technology itself, the book explores implementation concepts, as well as waste feedstock characterization and flow control. It also delves into some of the key issues surrounding the implementation of waste-to-energy systems, such as site selection and regulatory aspects. The financial and economic implications of implementing and operating WTE systems are also discussed, including costs and financing options. Professionals working on planning and implementing waste-to-energy systems have in this third edition updated information on all the practical issues involved in these efforts. The book's practical approach and strong coverage of technical aspects make it a must-have reference for engineers and energy researchers developing and implementing waste-to-energy conversion systems. Those entering the field will benefit from the broad overview the book provides, which will also be useful for municipalities, policy makers, government officials and industry managers interested in sustainable pathways for solid waste management. Explores the most current available technology for waste-to-energy conversion from municipal solid wastes, as well as all practical aspects involved in project implementation and management, including site selection, financing, procurement, ownership, and permissionsIncludes recent case studies from around the world that provide an insight into the different approaches to planning and implementation of WTEThis new edition has been updated with the latest technology and expanded to include information on thermochemical and biochemical conversion systems INDICE: 1.
