Energy Utilization of Solid Waste at Small Naval Bases - An Economic Decision Model and Comparison of Two Types of Systems

Abstract

The decision model presented allows a quick estimate of savings-to- investment ratio that may be achieved by burning solid waste to generate utility steam at military bases having 10 to 50 tons per day (9 to 45 Mg/da) of waste fuel. The two types of systems compared use either a rotary grate or a controlled-air furnace for burning the waste fuel.
