Comprehensive Evaluation of Repowering Systems for Utilizing Waste Heat from Small Scale Garbage Incineration Plants

Small Scale Biogas plants for the treatment of Food Waste

Waste Incineration:

This study examines the development of Energy from Waste incineration within the waste strategies of local authorities in England. With the development of Waste Strategy 2000 for England, produced by DEFRA, (then DETR) and the inclusion of statutory recovery targets for the recovery of energy from waste, along with the implementation of the Landfill Directive (99/31/EC), there created a need fo...

Comprehensive Parametric Study for Design Improvement of a Low-Speed AFPMSG for Small Scale Wind-Turbines

In this paper, a comprehensive parametric analysis for an axial-flux permanent magnet synchronous generator (AFPMSG), designed to operate in a small-scale wind-power applications, is presented, and the condition for maximum efficiency, minimum weight and minimum cost is deduced. Then a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) procedure based on the results of parametric study is proposed. Matching between t...

incineration of nuclear waste

Since the end of 1989, ECN renewed its interest in incineration of transuranium elements and fission products. With respect to the transmutation of minor actinides ECN was requested by the clutch government to start a study of a scenario based upon thermal reactors and to work on incineration by means of new fast reactor designs. There are also plans for a study on the possible use of accelerat...

An Improved System for Utilizing Low-Temperature Waste Heat of Flue Gas from Coal-Fired Power Plants

In this paper, an improved system to efficiently utilize the low-temperature waste heat from the flue gas of coal-fired power plants is proposed based on heat cascade theory. The essence of the proposed system is that the waste heat of exhausted flue gas is not only used to preheat air for assisting coal combustion as usual but also to heat up feedwater and for low-pressure steam extraction. Ai...
