Abstract |
The report presents a detailed overview of the operating and maintenance learning experiences of each of the 11 mass burning waterwall resource recovery plants currently operating in North America. Since 5 of the 11 plants are of European design, a comparison of U.S. versus European operational experience is made. Also, in order to assist municipal planners and facility designers considering new mass burning resource recovery projects, a summary of the learning experiences (including recommendations) is provided. Finally, a brief status overview of the mass burning waterwall systems in various stages of planning, design, and/or construction is discussed. |
