Fuel gas production from solid waste. Seminar paper

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7177160
; ;
Processes developed and demonstrated to utilize the organic portion of refuse as a supplemental fuel are reviewed. Pyrolysis, the combustion of material in an oxygen deficient environment, is a potential waste disposal technique which produces one or more usable fuels. The development of a computer model to describe in quantitative terms the functioning of an anaerobic digestion process for producing methane gas from municipal solid wastes is noted, and process optimization is discussed.
