How China's Waste-to-Energy Plants Work

 

A new type of low-temperature waste-to-energy plant burns rural solid waste (MSW), commonly referred to as garbage or trash, in a Fireprint equipment boiler at low temperatures to produce combustible gases, which are then ignited and used to drive an engine to generate electricity.

 

Municipal and rural solid waste is a mixture of energy-rich materials such as paper, plastics, yard waste, and wood products.

 

In China, approximately 80 pounds of every 100 pounds of municipal solid waste can be burned as fuel to generate electricity. A Fireprint technology waste-to-energy plant can incinerate 2,000 pounds of waste into ash weighing 20 to 60 pounds, reducing the waste volume by approximately 95% or more.
