What is a modern municipal solid waste incineration plant?

A modern municipal solid waste incineration plant, also known as a waste-to-energy plant, is a facility that incinerates municipal solid waste (MSW) at high temperatures, significantly reducing waste volume (up to 95%) and mass (up to 85%) while recovering energy in the form of heat and electricity.

In China, an advanced small-scale power plant equipped with a low-temperature magnetic pyrolysis boiler and a gas-fired generator system, with a daily processing capacity of 1.5-30 tons, has attracted significant attention worldwide.

Fireprint technology reduces waste volume by 1/200-400, produces no flame, requires no fuel, and produces low exhaust emissions, making it environmentally friendly.

 

Key Components and Processes

Waste is collected, sorted, and shredded on-site. It is transported to the pyrolysis unit via a closed spiral pipeline. Under the influence of magnetic gas, the waste is carbonized at 50-380°C, mimicking a natural environment.

The pyrolysis of the charcoal produces 1/200th the amount of negatively charged ash and combustible gas. The combustible gas powers the generator, generating electricity. Negative ion ash can be used as an agricultural and forestry soil additive to achieve zero waste emissions.
