Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6800895
The feasibility of waterborne trash recycling and energy recovery facilities was investigated for combinations of three locations and four processes. The three locations were Seattle, Washington (sheltered bay site); San Diego, California (open ocean); and St. Louis, Missouri (pierside). The four processes were production of coarse refuse-derived fuel (RDF); compressed fluff RDF; low Btu gas via the PUROX pyrolysis process; and electric power. Ferrous metal was also recovered from the waste.
