Infrared Camera-based Detection and Analysis of Barrels in Rotary Kilns for Waste Incineration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rotary kilns are widely used for the thermal treatment of highly toxic waste. The waste (mostly organic compounds) is packed in barrels before it is fed in the kiln. Depending on the compound the heating inside the kiln leads to deflagrations of the barrels associated with an incomplete burnout. In this paper we present a new method to detect and track waste barrels in infrared image sequences of rotary kilns for waste incineration online. Besides a better insight in the process behaviour this method provides the possibility of fast interventions of the process control e.g. in order to circumvent carbon monoxide peaks in the exhaust emission.

Modelling of the Fuel Stream and Combustion in a Rotary-kiln Hazardous Waste Incinerator
Hazardous wastes from various industrial processes are normally incinerated with rotary kilns in order to comply with current environmental regulations. They have often very complicated chemical compositions in a variety of physical forms and difficult to characterise. The complex transport phenomena within the incinerator are not well understood, and the incineration process expects large unce...

In this article we discuss the development of hazardous waste co-incineration in cement kilns in Brazil as well as its impacts on health and the environment. Information was gathered through an extensive review on social and environmental impacts of co-incineration, and case studies, chosen after discussion with social movement representatives concerned with the co-incineration issue and relate...

Segmentation of the Solid Bed in Infrared Image Sequences of Rotary Kilns
This paper presents two novel methods for segmenting the solid bed in infrared image sequences of metalrecycling rotary kilns. Exploiting the different dynamics and temperatures of gas phase, solid bed and kiln wall, we developed filter chains for an image segmentation of the solid bed. For the image acquisition we employed infrared cameras with a spectral filter. Two image processing algorithm...
متن کاملCompetition of different methods for recovering energy from waste.
Waste-to-energy (WtE) facilities have been established worldwide as a sustainable method for the disposal of residual waste. In the present study the following competing WtE systems were compared: (1) municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs) with energy recovery; (2) co-incineration of waste in old lignite or coal-fired power plants; (3) substitute [refuse-derived fuel (RDF)] incinerators wit...
