.docxTitle: Efficient Waste Disposal
Introduction
Waste management is a critical issue worldwide since current removal methods often lead to environmental problems. Incineration is a method that can efficiency reduce the volume of waste
Incineration involves burning waste at high temperatures to convert it into ash, gases, and heat.
The process goes the following steps:
1. Waste Delivery: Garbage trucks deliver waste to the incineration factory, where it is unloaded in spesial area.
2. Waste Handling: Before incineration, the waste undergoes sorting to remove any recyclable materials
3. Incineration: The waste is fed into the incinerator, where it is burned at temperatures ranging from 800°C to 1,200°C. This high heat destroys harmful pathogens in wastes.
4. Energy Recovery: The heat generated during incineration is used to produce electricity.
5. Ash Handling: After incineration, ash is collected and disposed of in landfills.
Efficiency and Benefits of Incineration
• Volume Reduction: Incineration can reduce the volume of waste by up to 90%
that significantly reducing the amount of waste that needs to be landfilled.
• Waste Incinerated: Incineration can handle a wide range of waste types, including municipal solid waste, medical waste, and hazardous waste.
• Energy Recovery: Incineration can generate electricity and heat from waste offsetting the need for fossil fuels and reducing gas emissions.
• Energy Output: On average, incineration can produce 500-600 kilowatt-hours of electricity per ton of waste incinerated.
The calorific value coincide to the indicators of low-grade fuels (for example, brown coal).
Moscow, like most other cities around the world, has problems with landfills. In 2019, Moscow planned to export over 15 million tons of garbage to the Kaluga Region and about 9 million tons to the Vladimir Region over ten years. This attitude of the Moscow administration towards other regions has caused massive indignation among residents of both the Moscow region and the regions
The transportation of Moscow garbage to the Kaluga and Vladimir regions is a serious concern. This shifts the environmental problems of the capital to neighboring regions, but does not solve the problem globally. Therefore, incinerators would be a good solution to clean up landfills.
Conclusion
Incineration is a viable method for waste disposal, offering benefits such as volume reduction, energy recovery, and waste-to-energy conversion. By implementing efficient waste disposal practices, incineration facilities can minimize environmental impact and contribute to sustainable waste management.
