Waste Biorefineries: Advanced Design Concepts for Integrated Waste to Energy Processes

Waste Biorefineries: Advanced Design Concepts for Integrated Waste to Energy Processes presents a detailed guide to the design of energy-efficient and cost-effective waste-integrated biorefineries. Integrating thermochemical processing of waste with existing waste-to-energy technologies, the book provides a framework to create a waste related economy, incorporating the latest developments and technologies.Divided into three parts, Section 1 introduces current waste valorization techniques and examines the reasons to modify existing waste-to-energy systems through the integration of new processes. Section 2 explains the design of novel biorefineries, and methods to assess these processes alongside detailed results, including the integration of waste-based CHP plants with waste gasification and the integration of pyrolysis technologies and biogas plants with waste thermochemical processing. Modelling and simulation procedures are described followed by detailed techno-economic analysis. Section 3 discusses the issues and challenges of commercializing waste-to-energy technologies, including uncertainty in waste thermochemical process designs, environmental impact of waste-integrated biorefineries, and the role of integrated waste-to-energy management in smart cities and urban energy systems.Waste Biorefineries: Advanced Design Concepts for Integrated Waste to Energy Processes is an invaluable reference for students, researchers, and industry interested in the design and implementation of waste-to-energy systems, waste biomass-based combined heat and power plants, biogas plants, and forest-based industries, and will be of interest to multidisciplinary teams working across Renewable Energy, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Science, and Sustainability Science. Presents advanced and novel waste conversion processes and provides the tools, data, and models for waste-to-energy processes and waste biorefineries availability Provides comprehensive uncertainty analysis of waste-to-energy designs and modelling processes Examines the replicability potential of methods for the design of waste biorefineries for different regions and markets with different sets of products INDICE: Part I: Introduction1.
