What is Waste to Energy?
Waste to energy is a process of making electricity from waste materials without causing any damage to the environment. It involves conversion of feedstock into gases by reacting the feedstock at high temperatures without combustion.
Advantage of Gasification ∗ Low-cost electricity supply is the biggest advantage of gasification process. ∗ Energy generated at a 10MWe facility is sufficient to light more than 25,000 homes.
Waste to Energy Conversion Process
∗Feedstock undergoes off-site preparation by specialist suppliers ∗The feedstock now a prepared fuel is further screened and stored on site
Waste to Energy Conversion Process
∗ The prepared fuel is then stored and fed into one of Gasifiers where it is heated under carefully controlled conditions to form a fuel gas ∗ This gas is then passed into a boiler for energy conversion with the resultant steam being sent to a turbine for energy recovery
