Feasibility study for resource recovery: southwest Brooklyn incinerator. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6598121
The primary purpose of this investigation was to examine both the technical and economic feasibility of exploiting the heating value of the refuse and the material value of the incinerator ash processed at the Southwest Brooklyn Incinerator. Based on the results of field testing, the combustion of municipal refuse at Southwest Brooklyn would be capable of generating 2.2 trillion Btu of energy annually. A detailed review of potential corrosion problems, and mitigating measures, as well as the expected waste heat boiler operational life, was undertaken to determine process modifications and equipment requirements to minimize the impact of corrosion on heat recovery operation. A market survey of potential energy users within a three-quarter mile radius of the incinerator was implemented to determine the available steam market.
