Combination of refuse incineration with electric power generation
Abstract
Four techniques of combining solid-waste incineration with electric power plants are described. These are: (1) the combination of a vapor-generating incineration facility with an existing power plant, (2) the construction of an incineration setup into the combustion chamber of an existing power plant (e.g., the Essen-Karnap variant), (3) the combination of incineration and power-plant combustion chambers, (e.g., the Stuttgart-Muenster variant), and (4) a process that combines the combustion of refuse, coal and natural gas (e.g., the Babcock Bensonkessel variant). Detailed schematics illustrating the various processes are presented.
