A Plot Study of the Potential for Navy Utilization of Solid Waste Derived Fuels to Offset Fossil Fuels Consumption.

摘要

A brief study was made to define problems that would be encountered in estimating potential Navy markets for various forms of waste derived fuels. Fossil fuel consumption estimates for boiler plants at several Navy activities were converted to waste derived fuel (WDF) estimates using a set of assumed rules judged technically feasible regarding boiler conversions and confirming o Fossil Fuels and WDF. The results of this first study are presented indicating Navy boilers might represent a significant market for all the WDF. A region could produce if the WDF were available in liquid as well as solid forms. The economic feasibility of conversions and WDF production are not addressed in this brief paper. (Author)
