Benefit/cost analysis of RDF process in Taiwan
- National Cheng-Kung Univ., Tainan (Taiwan, Province of China)
Reducing the waste stream through incineration is very important to minimize the use of landfills and to maximize the recovery of energy. The technology of mass burn waterwall incineration was widely used in the past two decades for solving the problems of solid waste disposal. In recent years, the sorting process is considered as an essential pretreatment unit prior to the incineration process. However, many engineering and economic disciplines are involved in the integration of refuse-derived fuel and waste-to-energy processes. This paper illustrates the related benefit/cost analysis issues during selecting an appropriate sorting process for Pa-Li municipal incinerator in Taipei metropolitan region of Taiwan.
