Water Injection into Waste to Energy Plant
AVE runs two lines of waste to energy plants with a capacity of 300,000 tons of municipal waste per year nearby the community of Wels and it is also allowed to burn 10 % of sewage sludge. Increasing the sewage sludge input into the waste to energy plants is one of the most critical adjustments running WAV II. The content of organic carbon is rising proportionally with the amount of sewage sludge. To reduce this effect, a system to change the water of the wet slag extractor was installed. The reference value is the total organic carbon (TOC), which is limited by the "threshold in the landfill ordinance". The extracted water will be injected into the burning chamber of line II.
Slag, produced by WAV I and WAV II will be deposited into the landfill area called "Schießstätte" in Wels, nearby the plants. TOC content of the slag is characterized of contamination of water in the wet slag extractors from sewage sludge and is limiting the injection into line II.
Sewage sludge, stabilized by polymers, will be pumped out from storage vessel combined with a piston pump system and is dosing portions of sludge into the chute. It moves via the moving grate to the descending grate. Municipal waste is normally reduced to ash and slag at the end of the grate. Compact portions of sludge are still carrying organic carbon. Especially this phenomenon is documented in line II.
Heat and the slag itself cause lack of water in the wet slag extractor. So water has to be replaced. On the other side surplus water is passes the overflow. Now the water will be changed by flow control continuously and pumped to a 30 m² storage tank, which collects water from line I and II. The tank is equipped with a circulation pump and also strainers. Two redundant discharge pumps bring the sewage water to the 8 secondary air injection nozzles, which are modified with some water injectors. The water injectors can be used separately and each of them has a flow control system. For start up and shut down, the water injectors can be blown dry. Experiences since 2009 shows, that the optimized injection is directed to the center of the grate not to cause any damages at the burning chamber. Effects of the injection are increased amount of flue gas and also increasing temperature of the scrubbers.
But the summary effects of the injection-projects can be seen at the draught fan (increasing amount of flue gas) and the higher flexibility of input material.

Mobilisierung der Biomassenutzung aus sekundären Rohstoffquellen in
Thüringen - ThIWertBioMobil
© Lehrstuhl für Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2022)
Im Projekt ThIWertBioMobil wurde die Erhöhung der werkstofflichen und rohstofflichen Verwertung von biogenen Reststoffen erfolgreich untersucht. Ein Ziel der Aktivitäten war es, den enthaltenen Kohlenstoff möglichst für eine lange Nutzungsperiode in einem neuen Produkt zu speichern. Hierbei ist es mit Hilfe des Gleitfunkenspektrometers gelungen, Althölzer der Klasse I sicher von behandelten Althölzern zu unterscheiden und damit ein optimiertes, werkstoffliches Recycling zu ermöglich. Siebüberläufe konnten sowohl störstoffentfrachtet als auch mit beinhaltenden Störstoffen in eine hochwertige Pyrolysekohle rohstofflich umgewandelt werden.
Exploring techno-environmental pathways how urban biorefineries for
organic waste valorization potentially contribute to the design of future
urban bioeconomy systems with net-positive impact

When striving to understand the complexity of driving forces on energy and material flows within cities and of cities in interrelation with their surroundings the multidisciplinary approach of framing, describing and specifying the regionalized urban metabolism is the state-of-the art tool which is currently further gaining in significance and scientific and political attention (Sanches and Bento 2020). There is for example the household metabolism for heating fuels which constitutes a major fraction of urban energy flows from the input side, which has to be reduced in the future to decouple from import dependency and from greenhouse gas intensive energy systems.

The Added Value of the Balance Method for Waste-to-Energy Operators and National Authorities
© Thomé-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (9/2016)
Different directives of the European Union may require operators of Waste to Energy WTE plants to monitor the composition of their waste feed with respect to the Content of biomass and fossil organic matter. The mass fractions of both materials are not only of relevance for the amount of fossil and thus climate relevant CO2 emissions of the plant, but also for the ratio of renewable energy generated, as biomass in wastes is considered as renewable energy source.
Infrasound Solution for Fouled SCR and the Economizer in World’s Largest Waste-to-Energy Boiler
© Thomé-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (9/2016)
Infrafone, with headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden, is using infrasound as a soot cleaning method and has plenty of experiences from various fuels and applications. The technical development has resulted in a product with much higher acoustic power than any other similar products on the market and acoustic modelling software that is unique. Infrasound cleaning increases the efficiency, the availability and the lifetime of industrial and marine boilers. In this text we start by describing the properties of infrasound and the product, while finishing by looking deeper into a couple of recent results obtained on waste to energy boilers.
