Energy Recovery from Automotive Shredder Residue through Co-combustion with Municipal Solid Waste
نویسندگان
چکیده
This project was commissioned by the Association of Plastics Manufacturers in Europe (APME) and the American Plastics Council (APC) to evaluate the operational and environmental impacts associated with the co-combustion of automotive shredder residue (ASR) with municipal solid waste (MSW) in a modem, commercial waste-to-energy plant. This paper describes the shredding and combustion facilities utilized for the program, discusses study protocols and test results, and presents analytical results of ASR characterizations, raw and clean boiler gas sampling and solid residues sampling. The study concludes that co combustion of ASR and MSW improved burnout, did not adversely impact boiler performance, stack emissions or disposal of the combustion residues (ash) and is, therefore, an environmentally sound method of recovering the energy value in ASR.

Mass balance for POPs in hazardous and municipal solid waste incinerators.
The amount of different persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the input of waste incinerators was compared to that in the output. Three cases were considered: a rotary kiln incinerating hazardous waste, a grate furnace incinerating municipal solid waste (MSW) and the same grate furnace co-incinerating plastics of waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and automotive shredder resi...

BACKGROUND Biomass and municipal solid waste offer sustainable sources of energy; for example to meet heat and electricity demand in the form of combined cooling, heat and power. Combustion of biomass has a lesser impact than solid fossil fuels (e.g. coal) upon gas pollutant emissions, whilst energy recovery from municipal solid waste is a beneficial component of an integrated, sustainable wast...
متن کاملMass balance for POPs in a real scale fluidized bed combustor co-incinerating automotive shredder residue.
The European directive 2000/53/EC implies a "reuse and recovery" rate for end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) of 95% to be reached by the year 2015. One of the options to increase the actual average European "reuse and recovery" rate of approximately 78% (EU 15, 2008) is incineration of automotive shredder residue (ASR) with energy-recovery. The mass balance and the congener fingerprints for PCDD/Fs, d...
متن کاملSuitability assessment for handling methods of municipal solid waste
Solid waste management is challenging in Phnom Penh city, Capital of Cambodia. The only one formal treatment taken is the final disposal of mixed waste into an open dumpsite. The current study analyses the physical and chemical characteristics of municipal solid waste disposed of in the dumpsite to assess their suitable handling methods. The current study found that the major compositions of wa...
