Waste Gasification to handle municipal solid waste and produce electric power

The project is focus to realize a combined waste recycling and recovery plant producing electric power from Municipal Solid Waste – MSW – using a new ZERO WASTE technolgy cleaner and more environmetally friendly than traditional thermal plants. In particular, the project integrates three technologies consisting of an upfront materials recycling facility using mechanical and electrical sorting technologies to produce inert materials (rubble, glass, grit…), recycled materials (plastics, metal, paper and cartons) and fibre and biomass; a Refused Derived Fuel (RDF) production system; and a gasification plant for the RDF energy recovery in the integrated facility.



The Syngas, characterized by simple molecules, is absolutely free of those chlorinated organic compounds which can be the precursors to the creation of dioxins and furans, and, before its combustion, the synthesis gas crosses a purification system that easily dejected the first cause of the macro-pollution. Cleaned synthesis gas coming from electrostatic precipitation unity is pressurised and then stored into a gasometer; successively it is pressurised once again by a turbo-compressor and delivered to engines for power production. The engines run at low speed (1000 rpm) so due maintenance is lower. The engines are designed to utilized natural gas at 100%.
