BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Urban intensity and activities produce a large amount of biodegradable municipal solid waste. Therefore, biodrying processing was adopted to ensure the conversion into Refuse Derived Fuel and greenhouse gases. METHODS: This study was performed at a greenhouse, using six biodrying reactors made from acrylic material, and equipped...

Experiments with refuse-derived fuel (RDF) were performed on a single-stage plasma gasification reactor system. The performance of the process in converting the feedstock to syngas is assessed for different oxidizing agents (H2O, CO2 + H2O and CO2 + O2). The experimental results show that syngas composition varies significantly with gasifying agent(s), while carbon conversion efficiencies vary ...

Sampah sayuran merupakan jenis sampah organik biodegradable yang dapat ditemukan di setiap lokasi Indonesia. Selain itu, timbunan juga mendominasi makanan. Pemanfaatan lebih lanjut salah satunya menggunakan pemulihan energi. Pemulihan energi dilakukan dengan biodrying tergantung waktu dan bioaktivator. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian aktivator pada proses sayura...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology to evaluate the feasibility of using landfill gas (LFG) as a liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel source for heavy-duty refuse trucks operating on landfills. Using LFG as a vehicle fuel can make the landfills more self-sustaining, reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, and reduce emissions and greenhouse gases. Acrion Technologies Inc. in asso...

in the present paper, the idea of braking energy regeneration and reusing that energy during acceleration for a refuse truck is comprehended. according to their driving cycle, the refuse trucks have a good potential for braking energy regeneration. on the other hand, hydraulic hybrid is a powertrain with high power density which is appropriate for energy regeneration. in the primary stage of th...

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 p...
