Almost 500 municipal solid waste incineration plants in the EU, Norway and Switzerland generate about 17.6 Mt/a of incinerator bottom ash (IBA). IBA contains minerals metals. Metals are mostly separated sold to scrap market either disposed landfills or utilised construction sector. Since there is no uniform regulation for utilisation at EU level, countries developed own rules with varying requirements utilisation. As a result from cooperation network between European experts an up-to-date...
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is increasingly considered a source of energy and materials rather than an environmental socioeconomic problem. Incineration using the grate-firing technique one best available technologies for thermal treatment non-recyclable MSW with recovery. The transition to circular economy brings new challenge Waste Energy (WtE) industry. Due advanced management schemes, calorific value input likely decrease. Nevertheless, WtE plant designers operators have aimed increase...
As a result of the increased penetration intermittent renewable energy sources, Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units are being looked upon as one sources that might provide for ever growing need electrical flexibility. However, CHP often considered must-run on grid their main purpose is generally to cover heat demand an adjoining District Heating Network (DHN). This paper demonstrates how CHP–DHN system may be used frequency reserve without excessively compromising lifetime CHP, using either...
Transitioning to Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) is essential for achieving carbon neutrality in urban areas by 2050. This study presents a multi-objective optimization framework that balances energy, environmental, and economic performance, addressing the diverse priorities of multiple stakeholders. The enhances PED design systematically evaluating technical solutions, including renewable-based electrification, demand-side management (DSM), energy storage, retrofitting. applied Usquare...
This study is to our knowledge the first present results of on-line measurements residual nanoparticle numbers downstream flue gas treatment systems a wide variety medium- and large-scale industrial installations. Where available, semi-quantitative elemental composition sampled particles carried out using Scanning Electron Microscope coupled with an Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (SEM-EDS). The as function particle size presented. EU's Best Available Technology documents (BAT) show removal...
Computational Fluid Dynamics has become a very powerful tool for developing engineering combustion devices, such as burners and furnaces. However, there are wide variety of turbulence models, some them have proven to be more effective turbulent flow configurations than others. A reacting jet is common configuration found in devices like burners. The present work assesses Reynolds-Average Navier-Stokes being tested on CH4/H2/N2-Air jet. Eight two-equation eddy-viscosity three five-equation...
Abstract Aromatic molecules are excited into vibronic levels of the first singlet state by irradiation with light narrow bandwidth (2–4 Å). If vapor pressure is low enough (≤ 0,1 Torr) resonance fluorescence observed which originates from primarily levels. Resonance could be detected in case toluene, p, m, and o‐xylene, naphthalene aniline. Most vibrational bands assigned. In opposition to results obtained benzene it found that correlated higher superimposed on a non‐resolved background high...
