Feasibility Study for Waste to Energy System
North America
October 22, 2020K&M was engaged by US DOE to conduct a technical and commercial feasibility assessment of gasifying municipal solid waste (MSW) to generate low/medium Btu product gas for turbine combustion at the proposed 800 ton per day waste-to-energy facility and landfill to be located at DOE’s Savannah River Site in South Carolina. K&M assessed the feasibility of constructing an integrated facility(s) combining municipal solid waste processing, a pulse enhanced steam reforming island, a landfill, and any one of the following options: combined cycle plant for the production of electricity, boiler and steam turbine for the production of electricity, methanol production plant, or generation of hot water for industrial use.
