GASIFICATION OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE FOR ENERGY RECOVERY | Journal of Global Ecology and Environme

In today's world, the demand for renewable energy sources is a major reason in the rebirth of gasification technology. Gasification technology has been used to produce energy from biomass with great success. Starting with chemical characterization of wastes, this study provides a critical appraisal of municipal solid waste gasification today. The environmental performance of a feasible combined cycle power plant architecture is examined, together with basic characteristics of the process (process types and phases, operating and performance parameters). Variations in the topping cycle pressure ratio (10-26) and turbine inlet air temperatures (900, 1000, and 1100°C) are used to evaluate the proposed plant's energy performance. Overall energy efficiency, specific energy output per unit mass of entering waste, gasifier efficiency, syngas quality, and emission characteristics are among the performance measures provided. The overall efficiency of the proposed facility ranges from 37 percent to 43 percent, according to the results. It was also discovered that the proposed plant's efficiency is highest at certain topping cycle pressure ratios, which are influenced by the gas turbine inlet temperature.
