This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview on thermal conversion of solid waste. It covers the thermochemical conversion technologies and combustion types; the gasification, flexibility of gasification and pyrolysis thermal degradation of carbonaceous materials; the pyrolyzer - mitsui R21, thermoselect and fulcrum bioenergy MSW to ethanol plant; the plasma arc heating technique using electrical arc; and the advantages and disadvantages of waste incineration.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the carbon, energy considerations and WTE process; the energy/mass balance energy loss (radiation) flue gas waste; the flue gas pollutants particulates acid gases NOx Co; the particulates solid condensable causes control; the metals removed with particulates mercury remains volatilized; the acid gases and nitrogen removal source removal to avoid fuel NOx production; the air pollution control remove certain waste components; the devices electrostatic precipitator baghouses acid gas scrubbers; the role of excess air and ash bottom ash recovered from combustion chamber; the schematic presentation of bottom ash treatment; the ash reuse options construction fill road construction; and the refuse boiler, overhead crane and turbine generator.
