Incineration technologies for various waste conditions

Waste to Energy is one of the solutions for the waste management widely used in the world. Since the Waste to Energy plant is an important infrastructure for local waste management, it should be reliable. To realize the reliability of the plant, it is necessary to choose and apply appropriate technologies in accordance with waste condition. Waste condition, like mass flow, heat value and compositions, varies widely depending on the local characteristics, waste management system, economical status, population, life style and so on. Waste to Energy technical should adapt to such variation. Steinmüller moving forward grate owned by Steinmüller Babcock Environment GmbH (SBENG) and Nippon Steel & Sumikin Engineering Co., Ltd. (NSENGI) has been developed as high-efficient waste to energy technologies with approximately 500 reference plants and long-time experience. The history had started from Europe, and it has been extended to all over the world including Asia. Nowadays, more opportunities can be seen in Asia. This paper introduces technical measures and application criteria for various waste conditions. Modification of the length and width of grate system can cover various scales of waste flow. For the variation of waste property and compositions, it is corresponded by means of grate cooling system, combustion chamber design, combustion air condition and other related technologies. These technologies can be the solutions for Asian waste conditions. Appropriate combination of these technologies can contribute for the development of waste to energy in Asia.
