Systems' description of UOP solid waste resource recovery facilities

Technical Report ·

OSTI ID:5072734

UOP Inc. proposes to design, construct, test and place in operation Solid Waste Resource Recovery Facilities. At the option of the users, UOP will also operate, manage and arrange financing for the Facilities. Each UOP Facility will have the dual functions of solid waste disposal and resource recovery. It will recover energy in the form of steam, which will be sold or used to generate electric power or chilled water. It will also automatically separate ferrous and nonferrous metals and collect other recovered materials, residue and fly ash. It will handle residential, commercial and non-problem industrial solid waste, process oversized bulky waste and reduce the volume of all solid waste by more than 92%. The types of plants recommended include: (1) steam generating plant, selling steam, high-temperature water or hot water; (2) electric power generating plant, converting steam to electricity for sale; (3) electric power generating plant, selling both electricity and steam; and (4) air conditioning plant, converting steam to chilled water for sale, which could also sell steam or hot water.
