2.Incineration :
Newer technology entrants delivering residual MSW treatment can be split into three main categories:
Mechanical and Biological Treatment (MBT)
Mechanical Heat Treatment (MHT)
Advanced Thermal Treatment (ATT) – principally gasification and pyrolysis
In addition to these, incineration offers a further option for the treatment of residual MSW and is an already proven and bankable technology in the UK
3. Advantages
Energy recovered from waste can be used in the following ways:
3.1Generation of Power (electricity),from 10mw to 60MW.
3.2Generation of Heat,
3.3Generation of Heat and Power
3.4Incineration providesthe best way to eliminate methane gas emissions fromwaste management processes. 3.5Furthermore, energyfrom waste projects provides a substitute for fossil fuel combustion.
