The Pennsylvania Electric Homer City Unit 3 typically consumes approximately 1,600,000 tons of compliance coal per year. The plant purchases approximately 75% of this coal from one supplier and that coal is blended at a coal blending facility owned by the supplier. The remainder of the coal needed for Unit 3 is obtained in the spot market. - https://www.getfilings.com/o0000912057-02-012778.html Subsequent Unit 3 equipment improvements are not modeled and model architecture has been adjusted so fuel combustion operations are closer to Homer City’s original commissioning.

Material and energy balance data for Homer City Unit 3 confirming validity of model predictions of lower emissions combusting engineered fuels.

Industrial fluidized bed boilers can accomodate higher fuel moisture contents than utility boilers and are well suited to burning solid municipal wastes including sewage sludge.

Be sure and ask the EPA and its climate modelers for the model validation data that justifies their global warming predictions before trusting in their conclusions.

Cities Give Waste-to-Energy Plants a Second Look

Converting Waste into Fertilizer and Fuel Globally

In an ordinary landfill, food and other biodegradable wastes can contribute to methane gas and toxic liquids. ARAMARK teams in Asia and Europe are working to convert biodegradable waste into more useful products. Methane from landfills seen as a viable, renewable source of energy

Long Term Waste Management

Our Proposal for solving the country's growing solid waste problem in the United States. Municipal waste can be made into solid fuel cubes at a reasonable cost and burned to make a variety of synthetic fuel products.

Update 10/26/14
There are many salvageble products in municipal waste that can be used to offset the cost of producing an engineered fuel. A typical plant can generate some $6,000,000 in recovered material costs.

Municipal Waste can be made into fuel pellets with combustion performance comparable to coal. 50% municipal waste blended with an equal amount of shredded tires can reduce Utility fuel costs nearly 40%.

Syn-Fuel Model

A computer model facilitates the design of artificial fuel and the feasibility of combustion processes using this technology. Methane gas can be converted to methanol, a solvent and feedstock for manufacturing synthetic gasoline.

The computer model and it's predictive results were published in the July 2012 issue of Chemical Engineering, Vol 119, No. 7

Economic data indicates producing steam and synthetic fuel from solid waste is both viable and profitable.

Millions of Old Tires Spark Recycling Frenzy

As government regulations continue to play an increased role in the nation's economy, new energy sources are needed to sustain growth. There is a vast untapped reservoir of man made waste that may provide the solution to the nation's energy appetite.
