Researchers have demonstrated in a pilot-scale test a new technology for co-combusting sewage sludge with MSW in existing WTE combustors. The technology offers municipalities a cost-competitive alternative to land disposal and ocean-dumping of sludge. The key to the new technology is the selective enrichment of the combustion air with oxygen. Oxygen-enrichment enables the combustion of a higher ratio of sludge to MSW than is possible using conventional co-combustion methods. The sludge co-combustion process can be implemented without reducing the unit's MSW processing capacity, and it can provide an opportunity for an additional facility revenue stream.
