The document discusses challenges and opportunities related to solid waste management. Global solid waste is projected to double by 2025, with India generating 100,000 metric tons per day. This waste can be used to generate energy. Plasma gasification is highlighted as a unique opportunity to mitigate waste challenges by converting waste into syngas and vitrified slag at very high temperatures without greenhouse gas emissions. It produces more electricity per ton of waste than other waste-to-energy methods like incineration and gasification. The document then provides details on the plasma gasification process and its advantages over other waste treatment options.
World Bank estimated, in 2025 the production of municipal solid waste will be 2.2 billion tones worldwide. With this amount, we are more and more polluting our own environment. Seven to eight percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions arise from continued landfilling. EfW (WtE) does not only decrease the volume of waste, it also protects natural resources like land and water. There is no additional need for landfills, where leakage can occur and pollute our tap water. It also protects air and climate because the regulations by law for EfW are more stringent than for coal fired power plants or any other industry. EfW plants decrease the greenhouse gases which come from landfill.

As rapidly increasing demand for electricity day by day Refuse Derived Fuel acts as an alternative source for the production of energy. As well as it also help to reduse landfill area where the municipal solid waste is dumped. Only the non-recycleable material goes to the landfill. Refuse derived fuel can also be used as the secondary fuel for the thermal power plant when with with the pulverized coal.
This PPT will give the information about what is incenaration and what is the process that will happen in the incenaration and how it is applied for civil Engineering.
Waste-to-energy (WtE) or energy-from-waste (EfW) is the process of generating energy in the form of electricity and/or heat from the primary treatment of waste. WtE is a form of energy recovery. Most WtE processes produce electricity and/or heat directly through combustion, or produce a combustible fuel commodity, such as methane, methanol, ethanol or synthetic fuels.
Waste-to-energy technologies convert waste matter into various forms of fuel that can be used to supply energy. Waste feed stocks can include municipal solid waste (MSW); construction and demolition (C&D) debris; agricultural waste, such as crop silage and livestock manure; industrial waste from coal mining, lumber mills, or other facilities; and even the gases that are naturally produced within landfills.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

India is 30 million tonnes per year.
1,00,000 MT SW generation every day in India.
Opportunities
SW is the only alternative waste to energy generation. SW
supplies 10% of global power.
The high heating value of SW indicates the need of waste to

of atoms and turns it into plasma.
• Natural plasma can be seen in lightning, sun stars, comet
etc.
• Firstly used by metal industry in 1800 in metallurgical,
mechanical operations and in 1900 chemical industry made
acetylene from natural gas.
• Plasma technology used by NASA in 1960 and become
popular.
7. •Plasma consists high electrical conductivity, more
independently acting species, high velocity particles and
particles interact at long range through electric or magnetic
forces.
•Man made plasma produced by plasma torches using
electricity as a heating source and air as ionized gas.
•The plasma torches create the flow of plasma by using a
650V DC or AC and generate the temperature of about
2000-20,000°C.

Editor's Notes
Per capita waste generation in major cities ranges
from 0.20 Kg to 0.6 Kg. Generally the collection efficiency ranges between 70 to
90% in major metro cities whereas in several smaller cities the collection
efficiency is below 50%.
In old times, the land filling is the least sustainable and most popular method for disposing of trash.
The waste disposed is digested anaerobically also called a biochemical conversion and produce biogas used as a source of heating.
It has drawbacks such as producing harmful gases like CO2 and methane and large surface area is needed for disposal.
Pyrolysis is a thermo chemical degradation of organic material in the absence of oxygen.
The products obtained are pyrolysis gas called syngas, pyrolysis liquid and solid cake richer in carbon content.
Indirect heating is done in different reactors like fluidized bed, rotary kiln, moving bed, fixed bed etc. The temperature maintained at 450-550°C.
Due to its low temperature produces less pollutants.
Pyrolysis process has some drawbacks like solid residue disposed to landfill, a major environmental disposing.
It is a mass burn technology.
It is oxidation of combustible material contained in the waste. Excess O2 is added to attain burning at low temperature. It converts the waste into flue gas, ash and heat.
The flue gases obtained are CO2 and H2O with emission of harmful gases like NOx, SOx, VOC etc.
This process has drawbacks such as high level of green house gases and large amount of ash sent to a landfill for disposal.

Plasma consists of a collection of free moving electrons and ions. Energy is needed to strip electrons from atoms to make plasma. The energy can be thermal, electrical or light . DC torches are better than AC torches due to less flicker generation, less noise, better control, lower electrode consumption and lower power consumption. The transferred torches or non transferred torches classification depends on whether arc is electrically transferre to work piece or not. The transferred torch operate with low gas flows and high operate voltages. But in non transferred torch needs high operating currents and have lower efficiencies. Thermal-plasmas are atmospheric-pressure plasmas characterized by high enthalpy content
and temperatures around 2000–20,000 degrees. Non-equilibrium plasmas are low-pressure plasmas charac-terized by high electron temperatures and low ion and
neutral temperatures. This paper focuses on thermal-plasma, which is a source of concentrated energy, posi-tive and negative ions, highly active radicals and intense
radiation. Thermal-plasma devices operate from a few
tens of watts to a few MW.
It is important to note that although they are unbound, these particles are not ‘free’. When the charges move they generate electrical currents with magnetic fields, and as a result, they are affected by each other’s fields. This governs their collective behavior with many degrees of freedom.
Products are syngas which has calorific value of about 320Btu/cubic foot and used as an alternative for fuel and vitrified slag used in construction aggregates.
Other products hydrogen sulfide, hydrochloric acid etc. depends on the formation of feedstock and are separated in cleaning system from syngas
Steam is also added to promote syngas reactions. The production of other products other than syngas depends on waste stream. It is sealed with stainless steel. The plasma gasifier is a refractory lined vessel and sealed with stainless steel. The reactors are large and operate at a slightly negative pressure, meaning that the feed system is simplified because the gas does not want to escape. The gas has to be pulled from the reactor by the suction of the compressor. Each reactor can process 20 tons per hour (tph) compared to 3 tph for typical gasifiers. Because of the size and the negative pressure, the feed system can handle bundles of material up to 1 meter in size. This means that whole drums or bags of waste can be fed directly into the reactor making the system ideal for large scale production.
Exit Gas, 1700 C
Coke Bed, 1800 – 4000 C
Torch Plume, > 5000 C
Slag Pool, 1700 – 1800 C
First, it is a convenient way to provide thermal energy in a gasification process.
Second, controlling the amount of heat input to the process by means of the plasma torches allows
controlling the composition of the syngas. Third, the hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratio can be modified
easily to suit the needs of the end use.
