Sumner County Solid-Waste Energy Recovery Facility. Volume 1. Feasibility studies, design, and construction. Final report
Operation history of the 200 ton per day municipal solid waste energy recovery cogeneration facility located at Gallatin, Tennessee is presented. Milestones and feasibility studies that led to the development, design, and construction of this cogeneration facility are reviewed. An equipment description of the mass burn system is given which includes the water-cooled rotary combustor and an electrostatically assisted baghouse. A ''fast track'' design and construction method provided initial startup just 18 months after ground breaking. Initial construction and engineering costs were $9.8 million, but additional funding was required to retrofit original equipment. The project received grants of $250,000 from DOE, $1.5 million from EDA, and a loan of $2 million from TVA in addition to the $12 million tax exempt revenue bonds issued by the Resource Authority. The facility has processed all municipal solid wastes collected in Sumner County since March 1982, and additional waste from nearby counties is being accepted.
