Present day Resource Recovery Facilities (RRF) are designed to generate electricity, much as a power plant does. The primary purpose of a Resource Recovery Facility is to dispose of refuse (usually municipal garbage); however, the primary purpose of a power plant is to generate electricity. For an RRF to be profitable, the refuse must be burned efficiently and the steam generated must be sold or used to generate electricity for sale to the local electrical utility. This paper discusses the control of Mass Burn RRFs designed by Ogden Martin, using the proprietary Martin GmbH technologic.
