Material that would previously have been thought of as waste is increasingly being viewed as an important energy source.
Energy recovery from waste is the conversion of non-recyclable waste materials into usable heat, electricity, or fuel through a variety of processes, including combustion, gasification, pyrolyzation, anaerobic digestion, and landfill gas recovery. This process is often called waste-to-energy and it reduces carbon emission and methane generation from landfills.
SMCE has lenghty experience with projects for combined heat and power plants, but also for boiler units producing steam or heat for industrial purposes. All these plants use Municipal Solid Waste and some also burn Refuse Derived Fuels (RDF) or biomass.
