book chapter
The thermal processing of waste (incineration) often involves not only waste disposal, including reduction in volume, but also a waste-to-energy (WTE) process, with the majority of modern municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators now able to deliver this technology. This chapter discusses a complex approach to the use of this technology, beginning with a brief introduction to incineration and incineration plants, followed by discussion of energy effi ciency analysis and the effectiveness of energy utilisation, with specifi c reference to one type of MSW incinerator. The aim of the analysis was to determine the performance of the plant in terms of energy utilisation and to identify potential energy savings within the plant. Simulations were carried out based on industrial data acquired from the monitoring systems of a modern MSW incinerator were carried out, with the results showing that potential energy savings are available in the area of low-potential heat. Finally, the chapter outlines the potential for the use of Heat Integration to achieve improvements in energy effi ciency, although this is somewhat limited in practical application.

A review of up-to-date waste to energy technologies, their advances and improvements are presented in this paper. The focus is on waste incinerators under conditions of the European Union. Legislation overview, key equipment, ways of dealing with different process streams and tools for evaluating energy efficiency analysis are presented. The principles for maximum energy utilization are also formulated. A comparison of conventional and up-to-date performances of high efficiency flue gas cleaning systems illustrates the development of waste to energy technologies over the past decades.

The present contribution shows certain practical aspects of selection and design of heat exchangers for industrial applications where polluted flue gas (off-gas) represents one process fluid.
One of the key factors in designing heat exchangers for these applications is the primary selection of a suitable type. The presently available possibilities and methodologies of efficient heat exchanging device selection and supporting software do not allow covering all the needs of related industries. A concrete example of an industrial process furnace is used to demonstrate the issues of "compactness and enhancement vs. reliability" for various temperature levels of high temperature applications. Attention is also given to the specific area of fouling of the heat exchanging surfaces by flue gas.

This paper presents a number of recent advances in technologies and improvements in units for the thermal processing of municipal solid waste (MSW) and various other types of waste. The focus is on the 'waste-to-energy' approach; various criteria for this approach are discussed, as well as the inconsistent attitudes about waste management approaches that are present in various countries in the European Union. The presented achievements include low-NOx burners, improved efficiency, heat exchangers, waste heat recovery systems, newly developed equipment for wet scrubbing, dioxin filters and system for the treatment of sewage sludge.

Efficient waste processing and waste to energy: challenge for the future,

Waste processing has become one of the most serious issues connected with environmental protection during
recent period. Various types of waste coming both from municipal and industrial spheres have to be processed.
First, it is necessary to consider recycling, then material utilization, and only then energy utilization (or both). In
some cases there is no other choice than to use just waste disposal, e.g. in case of treatment of hazardous wastes.
