Feasibility study report of energy recovery of municipal waste for Gainesville-Hall County

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5324634
The City of Gainesville and Hall County, Georgia instituted a feasibility study to determine if the solid waste disposal system could be integrated into a Resource Recovery Project. The objectives of the feasibility study were to obtain information regarding the solid waste generated in the demonstration area, to identify energy markets, and to identify those energy recovery technologies that would support the requirements of the identified energy markets. The quantity of wastes being delivered to the landfill were established and measurements and observations were made to establish the data with respect to the composition and heating values of the waste delivered to the existing landfill. An evaluation of the collection and routing systems was made. Collection costs were examined and the collection and routing systems were surveyed to determine the most efficient method or methods of servicing the sites identified for the ultimate development of a Resource Recovery Center.
