Research abstract
The need for a cost effective and cleaner method for MSW disposal hardly needs emphasizing. With EnerTech's slurry carbonization technology, liquid fuels, with a extremely low chlorine content, can be produced from RDF and are suitable for clean combustion in pulverized coal boilers. Objective of Phase I and II research is to accumulate necessary engineering data, from continuous pilot plants, to construct an integrated demonstration facility in Phase III research. In Phase II, pilot plant experiments will be continued to accumulate remaining design data and further characterize environmental emissions.
