Waste to Energy
Waste to Energy
Waste-based power generation solutions that utilize e.g. municipal solid waste (MSW) wastewater sludge, industrial, commercial & institutional waste (ICI)and agricultural waste (AW) as well as engineered waste fuels like REF ,or SRF
The process of generating electricity in a mass-burn waste-to-energy plant has seven stages:
1. Waste is dumped from garbage trucks into a large pit.
2. A giant claw on a crane grabs waste and dumps it in a combustion chamber.
3. The waste (fuel) is burned, releasing heat.
4. The heat turns water into steam in a boiler.
5. The high-pressure steam turns the blades of a turbine generator to produce electricity.
6. An air-pollution control system removes pollutants from the combustion gas before it is released through a smoke stack.
7. Ash is collected from the boiler and the air pollution control system.
