Solid Waste Incinerator

Sludge disposal is becoming an issue at the municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI), especially for environmental and economic reasons. This paper describes a case study of the optimization of the sludge management (SM) system at the MSWI in the Czech Republic. The original concept of SM at MSWI was designed as waste-free. However, the present operation indicates that there is a need to carry out regular extraction and disposal of sludge settling at the bottom ash tank and the bottom of the retention basin. The current status of SM causes problems not only in terms of operation but it also entails significant financial costs given the necessary regular cleaning of tanks. The aim of the applied research presented in this paper is SM optimization by a mobile sludge dewatering (DW) press unit with optimal polymer combination for DW.

Solid Waste Incinerator

Take the Shenzhen Nanshan Municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) as the object, in total 18 ambient air samples were got. The study analyzed the distribution characteristics of ambient air heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Pb, Cr) and As in the surroundings of the MSWI. The EPA Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund (RAGS) was used to assess the exposure risk. The results demonstrated that the Pb and Cd value in the surroundings of the MSWI were in the accept level according to the Ambient Air Quality Standards (GB3095-2012); The risk assessment showed that the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks via inhalation exposure in the sorrounding of the MSWI were in the accessible levels.
