How a waste-to-energy plant works 

This is the sort of stuff that needs to be on trending

Liberia really needs something like this. We are having serious power crisis not to mention bad sanitation management. This would help curtail the problem for us

I like how simply this process is explained. Nicely done.

To stay away from CO2 exhaust, they can gasify the waste (to make Methane gas) and use it to run the Fuel Cell Generators. Many waste municipal districts in US have done it. Other way, use plasma to burn your blue gas at high temp in turn, less CO2 produce, then make more electricity from Plasma Generator. Just a thought.....

I'm from Australia and had a tour of the London Waste Eco Park back in January 2011 and was extremely impressed with the plant. First of all I couldn't believe the size of the waste to energy plant, it was enormous. I have also been won over by waste incineration, it really is the future, you can only recycle so much, you still have garbage that can't be recycled. If you throw away metal it can be recovered through incineration, however not so in a landfill. Australia really needs these.

Excellent job

I am doing a feasibility study for my module and it will be a great help. I am developing this technique much more wider range.

I was wondering about the fly and bottom ashes as well. You make a good point regarding the size reduction based on the efficiency of the plant (supposedly >90%) but burning all that plastic can't be better than putting it in a landfill. Of course, if everyone became more recycling-conscious, at least that would make the burning process cleaner. That, and more biodegradable plastics.

excellent video

awesome video

well explained

Love this style of video Thanks for posting it... I started to do videos too, but never know if I can measure up to the better stuff out there lol!

It has its downsides, besides the super filters inserted it emits a bit of bad stuff. However with low dmizio4of these, they just disolve in atmosphere and filters need to be cleaned and stored later too. However you get Rid of that in storage you can keep it safe.

this is more efficient and greener than recycling plastics

perfect expression..

The best way of producing electricity.

thank you very much

Good to know.It taught me a lot.We need to increase our renewable electricity generation in India.Which is upto 50,000 MW only.If we increase it by the time power shortage reduce and also the problem of waste management.Of course we are using waste to create roads but it is not good enough and we need to think biologically too.I want to know from the people who created this video.How to tackle with CO2 emission percentage?

Burning is better than a land fill. Because in the U.S. the EPA has strict regulations in place to ensure environmental impact is limited and these companies almost always exceeds those. At Covanta Energy does and that is why they set the industry standard. But recycling is still an even better step added to the process!

Wait, if it's burning plastic, and plastic is made from oil, is it really renewable?

Ash is often used as a fertilizer. I never said that burning garbage makes aluminum and/or steel,however I was addressing what bosebucks375 had said which was often when burning garbage food or drink cans (steel and aluminum respectively) are left in the garbage and when subjected to heat can release some vaporized metal due to the reaction of heat and oxygen.

The process is very interesting and I would like to be a guest in that plant as an observant and withness

Hope to have a good and efficient one in my home city of Calabar. Still vacant and open to INVESTORS. ARE YOU READY?

What about the dioxin produced in the procedure? and dioxin is hazardous to human health

NOICE

I want to see one of these in NZ. We are a small country producing a massive load of rubbish every day. The Govt can reduce it by bringing in more recycling schemes (some towns & cities have none at all) but most cities have curb side recycling, but not everything (only 1 &2 plastics, glass & paper/cardboard and tins & alloy) . We need more opportunities to recycle more plastics & organic waste (without having to pay!) So much more NZ Govt could do, but seem ignorant (we are far behind some other countries!) And then whatevers left, a plant like this would be ideal to burn off and then make power.

The best way would be use for heating and electricity or heating only. Because you loose when spinning turbines, we have solar energy for that.... Heating is efficient in northern European countries. Summer it could be used for electricity, winter heating. Also These filters need to be kept in pristine condition. Because some people still do dump batteries and dvds in the rubbish bin.

You missed out one of the most important thing to tell. I.e, filtering poising air

Eer question,where the energy to burn all waste came from??🤔🤔

Where are new videos ??

are we convert all type of waste into energy?

And you can use the Sun. Its called solar power! Still costs big money. I was quoted $10K! to have a solar power system installed on my roof, would power my house all day & night and what I don't used gets sent to the power co but in winter/overcast days when not much UV gets thru it used power co power. So anybody can use the Sun, but will always cost no matter what you do. Also never get free power, cos someone has to pay to make the power & distribute it & contain it.

Minute 1:36, How can you say that the residue called bottom ash is non hazardous?????? Try applying those ashes to the land..... This should not be defined as a renewable energy. Renewable Waste to Energy technologies are for more environmentally friendly.

those pollutants created by incineration could be buried underneath a forest this would remove the chance of CO2 getting into the atmosphere, along with vaporized aluminum, steel, and other biohazards

how much does this plant coast ?

wat is the start up cost for a plante like dis

How many mWe are generated from 1tonne

roughly around 500 million dollars and not included the land.

It is impressive! But I need your support If you are responsible, I am going to ask you one maintenance question please. I am junior maintenance engineer in a "Waste to Energy Plant" and I am faced a problem of miss- alignment(jump) of the chain from the pulley in a long(about 100m) of the ash conveyor; however we can't retain back the chain to its original position even by pulling with heavy duty loader. What do you think the best option to get retained to its normal position? I will be pleased If you have any suggestion to the problem from experience or else

Until we can found more advance technology in the future.

It requires water. Hence it's somewhat costly..

I don’t know why I ended up here while reading Six of Crows 😅

Biggest garbage power plant now build in indonesia

can you make it a little louder pleeez

So we need to burn trash

it does eliminate the problem of household waste becoming more difficult to get rid of and creates electric from a potentially unlimited source...i see this as the lesser of two evils......

No they wouldn't first Co2 is a needed part of photosynthesis (this is kindergarten level knowledge here) and second aluminum and steel do nothing to plants the only issue with vaporized steel and aluminum is a health risk to things that have lungs or gills.

How does that make any sense... There is a cost when you dispose, to the environment... The collection of you're refuse and converting it into usable energy is a cost itself... The only way your argument is valid is if you don't accumulate waste.

Why this is not in india

This does not solve the energy return on energy invested problem if you consider the total system of waste creation. it adds burdensome over complexity and financial debt. Society requires 10:1 ratio of energy extracted to energy consumed in order to stave off the negative effects of the thermodynamic laws.

if we use more biodegradable material like bamboo instead of wood, cotton & many plastics , use less pesticides & toxic chemicals, this technology will be even better !!!!

If they sell the electricity created back to us, than why do i pay for garbage removal? shouldnt they pay me for my garbage?

I did it quickly and efficiently with instructions from Avasva webpage.

;\ they are called pollutants for a reason, they would kill the forest.

Made for toddlers.

And doesn't it emit carbon dioxide

q

Coronavirus 💯

skip the 2020 part go to 2021 , 2020 `s been cancled

the worse is the one comes up with this rubbish idea

theyre must be a more efficent way to produce enrggey. This whole thing seems like a really bad idea. And i feel like alot of lies are being told

Scam. Scam.
