Energy from municipal refuse: a waste utilization system for New York City
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7324948
The objective of this research project is to design a pollution-free system for the economic utilization of municipal solid waste with emphasis on the conditions and requirements of New York City. In Phase I of this study a critical assessment was made of the leading advanced technology systems in terms of engineering estimates of capital requirements, operating costs, and by-product credits to select the process of greatest ecological and economic merit for the New York metropolitan area. Phase II of the Project addressed the larger question of designing a fully integrated waste utilization system for New York City, including the sizing and siting of the optimum mix of refuse conversion plants, and the disposition of the recovered energy and materials. The conclusions of this study and the recommended design, termed the Columbia Plan, are presented in this report. (GRA)
