Mini-CHP on Municipal Solid Waste

Power plants on municipal solid waste (MSW) using the Brayton cycle. Serial production of “NEUTRON-GTES” with an electrical capacity ranging from 1.35 MW to 28 MW.

Today, the challenge of ensuring environmental safety faces the following problems:

• The need for modern waste processing complexes.
• Global waste volume increases by 3% annually.
• About 40% of waste worldwide is openly burned.
• 163 out of 193 countries practice open waste burning.
• Russia produces about 4 billion tons of waste annually, 55-60 million tons of which are municipal solid waste (MSW).

Waste has potential energy, raw material, and economic value. To solve the task of creating equipment that allows for environmentally friendly waste disposal and recycling while using them rationally as resources, “UGK Energetika” offers the following solutions:

1. Synergy of science, technology, and production for the development of innovative technological solutions in MSW processing.
2. Use of the best available technologies for the production and modernization of mobile MSW processing complexes.
3. Active implementation and use of the developed equipment.

Thermal Waste Processing Technologies

Incineration

Organized controlled combustion with access to oxygen. The most applied, energy-efficient method of waste disposal. End products of direct incineration are ash and significant volumes of toxic substances released into the environment.

Pyrolysis

Decomposition of organic matter into lighter molecules or elements under increased temperature without access to oxygen.

Plasma Technologies

High-temperature thermal decomposition of particularly hazardous waste at temperatures ranging from 1300 to 3000°C.

A combination of technologies is necessary for effective and environmentally friendly solutions.

Effective and Environmentally Friendly Disposal

Should be based on deep processing with the sequential neutralization of toxic components.

Plasma Gasification Plants for Environmentally Friendly Waste Disposal

Plasma gasification is a proven advanced technology for the disposal of unsorted waste and is the most environmentally safe method.

Complex Advantages

1. High-temperature destruction reactor zone: equipped with a high-temperature afterburning system.
2. Efficient dry and wet gas purification module: eliminates harmful environmental impacts.
3. Multilevel automation and control system: minimizes human factor influence.
4. Closed-cycle power plant: produces up to 1350 kW of electricity and 2000 kW of heat.

Thanks to its mobility and fuel flexibility, the complex is successfully used:

• For expanding the infrastructure of existing energy facilities of residential and industrial infrastructure, temporary settlements, and construction sites while simultaneously solving the task of neutralizing their municipal solid waste;
• At landfills for neutralizing and utilizing municipal solid waste as the primary source of heat and hot water;
• In places of oil spill accidents to power installations for washing contaminated soil;
• At water utility treatment plants for neutralizing sludge, waste from mechanical grids, while simultaneously heating process water;
• In autonomous complexes for centrifugal separation and utilization of liquid waste as the primary source of thermal energy.

Description of the “NEUTRON-GTES – 1.35 MSW” Power Plant Series

The NEUTRON-GTES power plant operates on the closed Brayton cycle principle. The working fluid of the plant is carbon dioxide (CO2) in a subcritical state. The working fluid heated in the PRT by technological process heat enters the turbine inlet, converting thermal energy into mechanical energy. As a result, torque is generated, driving the turbocompressor and electric generator mounted on a single shaft. After the turbine, the working fluid, through heat exchangers and a two-stage compressor, is fed back into the PRT inlet, and the cycle repeats.
