Title: Assessment of the technical and economic feasibility of coal sludge slurries

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20012981

A very promising approach to utilizing CWS in an economical and cost effective manner is to use its basic technical advantage over coal, i.e., its behavior as a fluid as a method of introducing other ordinary unusable fuel sources such as sewage sludge or other solid Btu containing wastes. This can provide an economic advantage to CWS via waste disposal fees income as well as solving a vexing disposal problem. The project discussed in this paper is the development of a combined fuel or coal, water, and sewage sludge as a furnace fuel. This work is funded by EPRI and the Upgraded Coal Interest Group (UCIG).
