Energy from Waste: A Good Practice Guide 

Special Offer!

Our Regular Price:
£15.00 each

Energy from Waste (EfW) is the application of sound proven combustion engineering principles to a variety of technologies which reduce and sanitise the residual municipal waste fraction, after recycling and composting has taken place, in order to recover energy. This guide embraces 'as received' waste combustion (systems capable of dealing with raw, processed or sorted fractions of municipal solid waste), fluidised-bed combustion systems and processed waste energy recovery options such as refuse-derived fuel (RDF), gasification and pyrolysis. Anaerobic Digestion of waste is the subject of a separate CIWM guide and is also addressed within the CIWM Biological Techniques in Solid Waste Management & Land Remediation publication. Utilisation of landfill gas is also not incorporated within the scope of this publication. The aim of the guide is to introduce waste managers, decision makers, planners and a wider audience, to the EfW technologies that are available, the operational principles, the main plant components, operational requirements, and mandatory and operational emission levels. The post-combustion/gasification residues are also considered: how they may be recycled, in the case of ash, and how the gas cleaning residues may be effectively managed in an environmentally sound fashion. The acquisition of planning permission, utilisation of the thermal energy for district heating and the integration of EfW with other options for waste management are also featured, together with case studies of current practice.
