3rd Edition
by Marc J. Rogoff, Francois Screve
Waste-to-Energy: Technologies and Project Implementation, Third Edition
covers the programs and technologies that are available for converting
traditionally landfilled solid wastes into energy through
waste-to-energy projects. It includes coverage of the latest
technologies and practical engineering challenges, along with an
exploration of the economic and regulatory context for the development
of WTE. In addition to technology itself, the book explores
implementation concepts, waste feedstock characterization and flow
control. It also delves into some of the key issues surrounding the
implementation of waste-to-energy systems, such as site selection,
regulatory aspects, and financial and economic implications.
Professionals
working on planning and implementing waste-to-energy systems will find
the book’s practical approach and strong coverage of technical aspects a
big help to their initiatives. This is a must-have reference for
engineers and energy researchers developing and implementing
waste-to-energy conversion systems.
- Explores the most currently available technology for waste-to-energy conversion from municipal solid wastes
- Includes
recent case studies from around the world that provide insights into
the different approaches to planning and implementation of WTE
- Completely updated with the latest technology
- Expanded to include information on thermochemical and biochemical conversion systems
