چکیده
Kenneth A. Smith wTe Corporation Bedford, Massachusetts The SEMASS waste-to-energy facility has employed the straightforward "Shred Burn" approach to Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) production. The relatively trouble-free start-up seems to indicate that the design ers have incorporated the industry learning experience of the past 10 years. In this discussion, questions are raised relative to local press reports of noise and odor problems, and industry rumors of problems in the fuel feed/distribution system. The desirability of providing capital cost, operating cost, and revenue data to facili tate comparisons with other RDF technologies also is

This report presents the results of a study that examined alternatives to landfilling the municipal solid wastes (MSW) of New York City. Detailed characterization of the wastes led to their classification, according to materials properties and inherent value, to “recyclable”, compostable”, “combustible”, and “landfillable”. The results showed that the present rates of recycling (16.6%) and comb...
