Integrated Facility for Municipal Solid Waste Disposal, Electrical Generation,and Desalination

摘要

A preliminary design was completed for a facility that uses municipal solid wasteas fuel for generating electricity and cogeneration steam for a seawater desalination unit. An average city of 100,000 population is the basis of the design. The design showed that heat from the combustion of municipal solid waste will provide nearly 2% of per capita electrical power needs and 7% of fresh water requirements. This thesis proposes a new arrangement of known technologies for use in Public Works. (AN).
