Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the result of a project between the United States and Japan called Stardust 80 that sought to develop more efficient ways to convert waste to energy. The project's goal was to provide potential solutions for problems such as increasing waste, landfills reaching capacity, and over-reliance on fossil fuels. The book presents the findings of a waste gasification experiment involving refuse-derived fuel (RDF) from Baltimore, Maryland, that was performed at a pilot-scale resource recovery facility in Yokohama, Japan. The primary focus of the study was to assess the viability of a paired fluidized bed pyrolysis unit in gasifying RDF to recover resources and energy. The results of the experiment, including data on gas and energy recovery rates, operating conditions, emissions, and residue characterization, are meticulously documented. The author delves into the implications of scaling up the process to a commercial level, providing valuable insights on plant design, energy requirements, and potential environmental impacts. Moreover, the author discusses the economic feasibility of the paired fluidized bed pyrolysis unit, presenting cost estimates and exploring strategies for optimizing operational efficiency. This book contributes to the ongoing effort to find sustainable waste management solutions. The detailed examination of the gasification process and the comprehensive analysis of the experimental data provide a solid foundation for further research and development in the field of waste-to-energy conversion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780260661111_0
