Process Technology in Waste Incineration Plants

Note: Lecture will take place in the winter semester from 2024.

In addition to the main components of power plants, such as combustion systems and steam generators, this course also handles aspects such as gas fume purification, mode of operation and general systems.

Contents

• Main components of thermal power plants, therefore of systems with the intermediate step of heat in the energy conversion process
• Steam generators: concepts and optimization (natural circulation, forced circulation, forced bursting)
• Types of Combustion: fluidized-bed, dust and rust combustion
• Evaporation process (flow patterns, heat transfer)
• Thermal design and efficiency
• Operation and control (fixed pressure and sliding pressure)
• Gasification technologies
• Flue gas purification and CO₂-free power plant concepts
