MSW pyrolysis plant main components
MSW waste-to-energy pyrolysis plant consists of several functional units implementing pyrolysis process with coupled conventional steam-cycle with no supplementary fuel or oxygen supply under normal operating conditions. The pyrolysis process converts municipal solid waste into quality fuels namely pyrolysis gas and char.
MSW pre-treatment
Shredding, drying as required
Pyrolysis Kiln
Indirect heated rotary kiln with inlet and outlet housing
Combustion Chamber
Combustion of pyrolysis gas and gas recovered from char
Char Treatment
Energy recovery from char
Heat Recovery Steam Generation
Waste heat boiler to generate steam
Turbine-Generator Set
Steam turbine for electricity generation and condencer
Flue Gas Treatment
Efficient dry gas cleaning, ID-fan and stack
MSW types treated by pyrolysis
Fresh unsorted MSW
Fresh MSW collected by waste management company
Sorted MSW
High calorific MSW - Waste Derived Fuels (RDF/SRF) - after pre-sorting of fresh MSW
MSW from landfills
Old (depleted) MSW with soil from dump sites
