The boilers in waste-to-energy plants are subjected to a much more hostile operating environment than most other types of boilers. In this article, the authors describe design features and operating practices that will enhance operation and prolong service life. The systems they compare are the four boilers at the WTE plant in Pigeon Point, Delaware, and two in the facility at Claremont, New Hampshire. Both styles use natural circulation, operate in conjunction with mass burning incinerators, and were fabricated under the supervision of American Schack. Specifications for each system are given. The paper discusses the superheater, the economizer, cleaning the unit, and expected fouling versus actual results.
