Abstract
Waste quantities and characteristics in the U.S. are reviewed and waste-to-energy conversion technology evaluated. All waste materials, exclusive of those from mining operations, are considered. The technology is reviewed under the categories of mechanical processing, biological conversion systems, thermal/chemical systems, and combustion. Important features of many operating facilities are described and detailed engineering and economic analyses of seven specific systems are presented. An analysis is also made of the technology and costs for conversion of pyrolytic off-gas to methane, methanol, and ammonia. Environmental pollution data are presented where available and the current control technology briefly reviewed. Conclusions on the conversion technology are made and research needs considered in a series of recommendations. (Portions of this document are not fully legible)
