Thermal Processing Technology

Thermal Waste Treatment

Thermal waste treatment refers to the processes that use heat to treat waste materials. Thermal methods for waste management aim at the reduction of the waste volume, the conversion of waste into harmless materials and the utilization of the energy that is hidden within waste as heat, steam, electrical energy or combustible material. They include all processes converting the waste content into gas, liquid and solid products with simultaneous or consequent release of thermal energy. Thermal methods for solid waste management include: Gasification, Pyrolysis, Plasma and Incineration. This Technology Zones offers an insight into the latest innovations in thermal waste processing technology.

Should We Burn or Bury Waste Plastic?

Since China refused last month to accept any more foreign waste for recycling, the UK is facing a challenge. How can it recycle more of its own waste? And should it bury or burn the low-grade waste that it can’t recycle? We’re trying to answer the second question. And it certainly divides opinions. So what are the facts about plastic waste?

Turning Landfill Into Energy

Landfill is both ugly and polluting. But a new breed of technology promises to make it a thing of the past, transforming a huge portion of landfill material into clean gas. It’s thanks to a process called gasification, which involves turning carbon-based materials into gas by heating them to a high temperature but without burning them. The gas can be stored until it is needed for the generation of electricity.

Capturing Mercury Emissions

MOBERLY, MO – Coal-fired power plants emit 772 million pounds of toxic chemicals into the atmosphere every year—more than 2.5 pounds for every person in the United States. As a result, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other organizations around the globe have tightened regulations on emissions of hazardous chemicals, such as mercury.
