Original Abstract

Main aim of this paper is present the approach to the assessment and the design of the up-to-date small capacity waste-to-energy units. Based on a unique computational tool NERUDA aimed at investment planning a unit with small capacity is integrated into a regional system. Tailor-made technology takes into account character of the region, type and amount of wastes, more and more sweeping environmental limits, potential integration into existing heat and power plants etc. The approach in question is illustrated through a case study covering process design, selection and design of key pieces of equipment and economic evaluation of WtE unit with capacity of 20 kt/y in a concrete region. Methodology which is called “Local Integration” consisting in integration of WtE unit into existing heating plant is illustrated using this real case. Then we can achieve a substantial reduction of primary energy sources in terms of fossil fuel consumption. Last but not least an original approach called “Integration of Integration” and/or “Integrated Equipment Design” is applied. It consists in integrating one or more unit operations into one multifunctional equipment.
