Abstract
The management of municipal solid waste is a growing problem that waste-to-energy technologies attempt to solve. However, there is a lack of studies approaching large-scales projects as the situation requires. Thereby, this work presents a commercial scale gasification power plant for refuse-derived fuel processing and energy generation. The circulating fluidized-bed gasification system was designed to produce 72 ton day-1 of syngas, with lower heating value of 4.6 MJ kg-1 , from 30 ton day-1 of refuse-derived fuel. A steam power cycle consumes the combustible gas to generate 1.5 MWh of electrical energy. Characterization of the syngas produced demonstrate good thermal proprieties and its use for generation of electrical energy indicates low levels of pollutants emissions, such as NOx, SOx and dioxins & furans, which demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed technology as a renewable energy source.
