Municipal solid waste to energy conversion processes: economic, technical, and renewable comparisons
Young, Gary C.
This book provides a technical and economic review of competing waste-to-energy technologies. Topics include pyrolysis/gasification technology which is viewed as the best suitable and economically viable approach for the management of wastes such as: Residential Waste (RW), Commercial Waste (CW), Industrial Waste (IW) and Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), which can be a mixture of these wastes. Other topics include combustion technology, plasma economics, and case studies of garbage to liquid fuels, wastes to electricity, and wastes to power Ethanol plants. The book is also a very important resource for the production ofrenewable energy and documents the technical and economical issues relating to the many emerging waste disposal technologies that are currently under development. Finally the book outlines the creation of an infrastructure design of sustainable MSW processes that can turn waste into useful green energy
