Heat Recovery Incinerator-Equipment Selection and Plant Layout for Safety, Human Engineering and Maintainability

摘要

The Naval Civil Engineering Lab. Solid Waste Advanced Development Project includes formulation of design requirements and guidance for small scale Heat Recovery Incinerators (HRI) to be constructed at various naval shore activities. HRI technology for conversion of the heat value of solid waste to usable energy through production of industrial and domestic steam is applicable to a number of Navy and Marine Corps activities. Most of these activities require facilities with a capacity in the range of 50 tons per day, the designs of which would use predesigned, prefabricated modular units. While a number of this type of facility has been constructed in the private sector, and a few in the Navy, plants with maintainability problems and less than optimum safety features are common. This task was to develop generic equipment choices, instrumentation requirements and locations, and general plant layouts giving equipment arrangements and spacing. Emphasis was given to safety and human engineering considerations. Plus equipment maintenance requirements. Specific recommendations on design features and a basic equipment layout are given.
