A process for solid waste management is described. The approach combines materials recovery, recycling, and using refuse-derived fuel for cogeneration. A fluidized bed system is used for combustion. An example of the use of this system is briefly cited; it has extended landfill life up to 100 years for one county and allowed three counties to close municipal landfills. Over 50,000 tons of material are recycled each year, saving more than $100 million on waste disposal. Energy generation saves a chemical company over 3 million gallons of oil annually and allows the local utility company to save 75,000 tons of coal. Air emissions at the chemical company will also be reduced by over 50%.
