The three-part course begins next Tuesday, October 15.
The 1970s saw the emergence of the incineration systems that started the waste-to-energy movement. Remarkable, these systems still dominate the world marketplace today, and there’s reason to think there’s a lot more to come as we embrace EPA’s sustainability-based waste management hierarchy. With this in mind, we’re offering a series on the subject you won’t want to miss.
Join Walter Niessen next Tuesday for the first session in our three-part incineration series exploring the current options in mass-burn incineration systems, their design and operating components, their relationship to the basic characteristics of domestic solid waste, and the special characteristics of combustion systems based on refuse-derived fuel (RDF).
In this webinar we’ll take a step beyond our combustion series to delve into the details of the current waste combustion and waste-to-energy systems dominating the marketplace. We’ll start our discussion with the fundamental characteristics of solid waste and their impact on combustion systems and air emissions. We’ll discuss the key handling properties of combustion systems and each system’s characteristics (maximum continuous rating) and how these define incinerator operations. We’ll explore the details of current mass-market waste combustion systems, their designs, their operating features, and applications, as well as mass-burn incineration, RDF, and densified RDF. Within this discussion, we’ll discuss the elements, applications, and alternatives for incinerator components and sub-systems, including waste receipt, storage, and feeding systems, combustion alternatives (grates, hearths, and fluidizing beds); enclosures, ash and ash processing systems, air-pollution control systems, RDF-type incineration systems, and modular-type incineration systems. And, finally, we’ll end our discussion with an overview of municipal waste combustion where it is today, and preview our next session discussing where it is going tomorrow.
* Learn the basic pattern and elements in bringing a new waste-to-energy system into being
* Learn the key characteristics of domestic solid waste
* Learn the significant chemical, thermal, and environmental properties of mixed waste and waste components as they affect combustion systems and air emissions
* Review the key materials handling properties of waste (MSW, RDF, and densified RDF)
* Understand the overall system characteristics (maximum continuous rating) defining incinerator operations
* Understand the firing diagram that summarizes the performance envelope of incinerator operations
* Understand the elements of selection of plant sites
* Understand the alternatives and characteristics of waste receipt, storage, and feeding systems, incinerator combustion alternatives (grates, hearths and fluidized beds), enclosures, ash and ash processing systems, and air-pollution control systems
* Understand the alternatives and characteristics of RDF-type and modular-type incineration systems
Thermal Processing of Municipal Solid Waste
Explore the current options in mass-burn incineration systems, their design and operating components, their relationship to the basic characteristics of domestic solid waste, and the special characteristics of RDF-based combustion systems.
Conversion Technologies for Municipal Solid Waste
Explore the key characteristics and differences between emerging conversion technologies and conventional mass-burn and refuse-driven fuel, the associated process streams and side streams, and the options in conversion system designs now appearing in the marketplace and their applications.
This Master Class Series includes a series of three 1–1.5 hour live and on-demand online presentations and Q&A sessions (3 PDH / 0.3 CEU total) focusing on the following advanced topics.
Air Pollution Control for Incineration Systems
Explore the air pollution challenges, issues, and solutions relating to thermal waste processing systems. In this course we’ll explore the relationships between the quantity and characteristics of air pollutant emissions, the chemical and physical characteristics of wastes to burn, combustor design features and operating conditions, and the control affected by air pollution control devices. Finally, we'll explore the incineration equipment pollutant abatement technologies with special consideration of the control of NOx, mercury, and other air toxics and dioxins.
