This paper presents an experimental study of the heating value of medical waste using an input-output method. The study was carried out at the Oncological Hospital in Bydgoszcz, Poland, over a period of three months. The installation for thermal treatment consisted of a loading unit, a combustion chamber, and a discharge chamber (thermoreactor). The medical waste constituted the primary fuel, a...

In this work, a model of gasification process that enables all, material and energy balance, calculation of gas composition, gas heating value and reactor temperature is presented. The model parameters were estimated by laboratory experiments. A fraction of MSW generally separated from inorganic materials and biodegradable components, so called Refuse-derived fuel (RDF), was studied by material...

An annual mean heating value of 4,112 Btu/lb "as received" has been developed for municipal solid waste in the Spring Creek area of New York City. This is the lowest annual figure that I have seen published for a large metropolitan area in the United States. In view of the unusual value ob­ tained in this study, the authors should clearly explain why the heating value developed in this study is...

Supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) is used to monitor the operating data of heating network. But it can do data acquisition and some simple operations only. So in this paper with the data collected by SCADA a leakage monitoring system of pipeline in heating network is designed by the Matble graphical user interface program (GUI). The theoretical basis of this monitoring is ...
