Technical Evaluation Study:Energy-Recovery Solid Waste Incineration to Naval Station Mayport,Florida.

摘要

This study was undertaken to assess the feasibility of energy-recovery incineration of solid waste at Naval Station Mayport, Florida. It was found that use of solid waste as a fuel for steam generation at Naval Station Mayport is technically and economically feasible and environmentally compatible. The recommended system employs a clean-fuel fired, basket-grate incinerator in series with an energy-recovery train consisting of an afterburner and boiler. The afterburner fires fuel reclaimed at an on-station bilge and fuel tank waste oil treatment facility. Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) is fired one shift, five days per week, with the auxiliary burner assuming the load during nights and weekends. Production of 22,700 pounds of steam/hour can be achieved. The benefit-to-cost ratio of this system is 8:1. Through implementation of this system a net fuel savings of 345,800 gallons/yr can be achieved, excluding the amount of the reclaimed oil used. Design criteria are provided.
