Campbell, J

The data are presented from five tests of a fullscale trommel processing unsegregated municipal solid waste at throughputs ranging from 58% to 175% of design capacity, or 32 to 98 Mg/h (36 to 109 tph). The tests were conducted between December 1980 and March 1981 at the Recovery 1 solid waste processing facility in New Orleans, Louisiana. Included are a description of the equipment, discussion of the test procedures and primary summaries and analysis of data on the trommel and mass and volumetric flowrates, separation efficiency, and size reduction (on both weight and number count basis). Heat content and ash analysis of the trommel oversize, recovery results on surrogate aluminum cans and flakes and residence time measurement results are also reported.
