Energy recovery from mass burning of refuse in waterwalled incinerators

Abstract

There are currently ten waterwalled incinerators in the U.S. which recover energy from the mass burning of municipal waste. The plants range in size from a 160 ton (145 t) per day (metric units are shown parenthetically; metric tons are denoted by the symbol t) system at Portsmouth, Virginia to a 2000 ton (1820 t) per day plant at Pinellas County, Florida. Some of the refuse-to-energy plants are reliable and performing well. The performance of several plants, however, is poor, and two were closed in the 1982–1983 period; one of these is back in operation. The operation of the ten plants is described, with emphasis on recent and projected performance.
