Original Abstract

Possible ways leading to reduction of energy requirements for carrying on processes of thermal treatment of high heat value waste by utilising gasification technology were assessed. The results of gasification tests with specially prepared waste carried out in an experimental fluidised bed reactor operating at atmospheric pressure served as incipient information. The waste was mostly a mixture of shredded textiles and rubber, with a heat value of 33 MJ/kg, and dosed at the rate of 15 to 22 kg/h into reactor. The gasification was carried out within the temperature range 800 to 860C and in the presence of air entering at stoichiometric ratios between 0.15 and 0.25. Based on the results of the waste gasification testing, heat and mass balances of the incineration plant with capacity of 10 kt/yr of industrial waste were evaluated and the results compared with conditions required in an incineration plant operating under an oxidation regime. It was concluded that by utilising the gasification process for thermal decomposition of waste, it was possible to achieve a significant reduction of investment and operating costs due to a lower consumption of high-value auxiliary fuel as well as due to a reduced volume of flue gas produced.
