Putting forward an up-to-date waste-to-energy approach that combines experience sophisticated
modeling and technical-economic analysis this book examines the current need for the maximum
utilization of energy from waste and the associated environmental impacts. It outlines
step-by-step procedures for a complex and original waste-to-energy approach from the idea to
its industrial application. With waste incinerators and industrial plants producing large
amounts of pollutants municipalities as well as smaller decentralized operations are beginning
to focus on waste research. The principal advantage of utilizing research findings is the
ability to apply a complex approach from idea to industrial implementation with respect to the
needs of the market established by thorough market analysis. This book builds on this concept
with an original approach that takes into consideration geographical aspects the specifics of
regions micro-regions and technological units and or equipment. Key areas discussed and
analyzed in the text include: strategic planning of energy-source locations according to the
nature of the respective region or microregion types and amounts of wastes logistics etc.
using original mathematical models consideration of on-site processing of various types of
waste taking into account the character of the region (agricultural industrial etc.)
tailor-made technologies for energy recovery from various types of wastes implementation of
individual technologies with original elements and support for environmental protection based
on advanced flue gas (i.e. off-gas in the case of incineration) cleaning methods.
