1. 1. NET SOCIAL COSTS OF INCINERATION AND LANDFILLING : A CBA study on the economic effects on Sweden under two contrasting trade policy scenarios

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

   Author : Sef Meens Eriksson; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Every year English waste is exported to Sweden for treatment, the waste type is called Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). Instead of being landfilled in England, the exported RDF is used as an input fuel in Swedish incineration plants to generate heat and electricity. READ MORE

3. 2. NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY FOR REFUSE DERIVED FUEL : Classification of waste material components using hyperspectral imaging and feasibility study of inorganic chlorine content quantification

   University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

   Author : Martin Ševčík; [2019]
   Keywords : near-infrared spectroscopy; NIR; municipal solid waste; MSW; refuse derived fuel; RDF; classification; chemometrics; machine learning; artificial neural network; radial basis neural network; high-temperature corrosion; chlorine; waste to energy;

   Abstract : This degree project focused on examining new possible application of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for quantitative and qualitative characterization of refuse derived fuel (RDF). Particularly, two possible applications were examined as part of the project. READ MORE

4. 3. Detection of glass in RDF using NIR spectroscopy

   University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

   Author : Philip Hedlund; [2018]
   Keywords : NIR; spectroscopy; RDF; glass; CFB; boiler; performance; losses; NIR; spektroskopi; RDF; glas; CFB; panna; prestanda; förluster;

   Abstract : Purpose of this study was to investigate the possibilities of using Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to detect glass in refuse derived fuel (RDF) as well as what on-line data of glass content could be used for in terms of boiler operation and performance determination. Sample configurations were done with dried RDF (to prevent mass loss due to moisture and spectroscopic disturbance) and increasing concentrations of colored soda-lime glass, total of 100 samples.

5. 4. Near-Infrared Spectral Measurements and Multivariate Analysis for Predicting Glass Contamination of Boiler Fuel

   University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

   Author : Olivia Winn; Kiran Thekkemadathil Sivaram; [2017]
   Keywords : NIRS; glass detection; food waste; biomass; PLS; SNV; Savitzky-Golay;

   Abstract : This degree project investigates how glass contamination in refuse-derived fuel for a fluidised bed boiler can be detected using near-infrared spectroscopy. It is motivated by the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil fuels with refuse-derived fuel. READ MORE

6. 5. A comparison between the two different combustion methods of Grate-firing and Fluidized bed, applied to a CHP-plant with MSW as fuel

   University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

   Author : Belkiz Hasan; Aidin Ahsant; [2015]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In this study, the two most frequently used incineration systems, fluidized bed and grate-firing have been compared and analyzed. The performance of Mälarenergi’s combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Västerås, which consists of a fluidized bed incinerator, has been used as benchmark to elaborate the different calculations made in this study.
