What lessons can we draw from the refuse-to-energy industry's past. And how can these be applied toward further development. Two distinct periods of development are examined in this article to help one industry's progress and understand what lies ahead. During the mid- to late-Seventies, a great deal of activity took place, resulting in many false starts. These years were marked by early design and development failures caused by consultants and vendors who couldn't necessarily deliver all they promised. The second period, from 1982 - 1987, was critical in terms of both acquiring technical expertise and implementing successful projects. Today, the industry has reached a certain level of maturity resulting, in part, from the development of sophisticated environmental controls and the integration of these controls with a totally automated combustion process. Within the next 10 years, substantial progress will be made in treating products from the ash residue and further improving the design and operation of air quality controls.
