ENERGY FROM WASTE IN CHINA AND US – ITS STATUS AND ITS FUTURE
As a result of the recent rapid economic growth in China, there has been an increase in the generation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) which has prompted Energy-from-Waste (EfW) to be viewed as a key technological component of a comprehensive solid waste disposal and energy policy. The beneficial reuse of waste to generate clean, safe “renewable electrical or thermal energy in EfW systems has been Covanta Energy Corporation’s core business for the past 25 years in North America. Covanta has successfully established its EfW global leadership position by operating 45 facilities worldwide including 2 in China through its partnership. This paper will present the technologies employed by Covanta to combust approximately 18 million tonnes MSW per year worldwide as well as a comparison of the typical basis of design of EfW facilities in the US and China. The similarities, differences and challenges that Covanta has experienced will be discussed. The main topics that will be presented will include the municipal solid waste composition and its calorific value; facility design concepts and the types of stoker technologies used; construction and commissioning approach as well as typical performance and acceptance testing criteria. The purpose of this paper is to provide some of the insight Covanta has gained in designing, constructing and operating EfW facilities worldwide.
