Analysis to intensify the energy utilization in incineration plant

presentation

English

Thermal processing of waste represents not only waste disposal including reducing its volume but also waste to energy (WTE) process. Most up to date municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators are delivering WTE. Results of energy utilization analysis in one of the type of MSW incinerator are presented in this paper. The aim of the analysis was to identify the potential energy saving within the plant. Plant efficiency factor and Energy utilization rate are considered as the criteria used for assessment of plant performance from the view of energy utilization. Simulations based on industrial data acquired by monitoring system were carried out and obtained results are analyzed. It was found out that the potential energy savings are available in the area of low-potential heat. The possible improvements were proposed and consulted with the plant operators.
