Edison-Coordinated Joint Regional Solid Waste Energy Recovery Project, feasibility investigation. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6352569
Three different systems for recovering energy from municipal solid waste by pyrolytic conversion were investigated and costs estimated. The three systems produce a final energy output of electricity, gas and oil. The approved candidate recovery processes considered were: A pyrolytic gas produced by the PUROX process with no upgrading; A pyrolytic oil produced by the FLASH PYROLYSIS process with no upgrading; Electrical energy generated by steam from the ANDCOTORRAX pyrolysis gas.
