The Study of Waste-to-Energy Plant Combustion Characteristics Based on Computational Fluid Dynamics

Abstract:

The combustion process for using municipal solid waste as a fuel within a waste to energy plant calls for a detailed understanding of the following phenomena. Firstly, this process depends on many input parameters such as proximate and ultimate analyses, the season of the year, primary and secondary inlet air velocities and, secondly, on output parameters such as the temperatures or mass fraction of the combustible products. The variability and mutual dependence of these parameters can be difficult to manage in practice. Another problem is how these parameters can be tuned to achieving optimal combustible conditions with minimal pollutant emissions, during the plant-design phase. In order to meet these goals, a waste-to-energy plant with bed combustion was investigated by using computational fluid-dynamics approach.
