3.2. Advantages and the Application Strength Waste Flexibility - Co-gasification of various waste (clinical, sludge, etc) - landfill reclamation is one of the options Recyclables (Slag and Metal) - minimizing final landfill amount, reducing landfill cost - recycling valuables from waste without any post-treatment Changing Boundary Conditions 1. Higher Gate Fee 2. Reduce landfill Cost Operation know-how - long-term operating experiences (36 years) Weakness CAPEX - Approx.10% more expensive than conventional OPEX ( 10-15 EUR/t) - Additional utilities - Oxygen consumption (parasitic load) Capacity 14 t/h is the maximum in our references. In the same boundary condition, it is not so economically competitive. Other Factors 14
3.3.1. Conventional Boundary Condition Conventional Boundary Condition : Feedstock : Power : Residues : Recyclables APC Residues MSW RDF C&I Waste Landfill Site Residues WtE Plant Power Industries Bottom ash Recycling Facility (Aging / Maturing) Bottom ash Recycled in the market Grid 15
3.3.2. Application of DMS Gasification Expanded Boundary Condition Recycled Zero Waste Clinical Waste APC Residues MSW Conventional Boundary Condition RDF C&I Waste : Feedstock : Power : Residues : Recyclables Landfill Site Landfill Waste DMS Plant Hazardous waste Industries Power Sludge Recycled in the market Slag / Metal Grid WWTP 16
3.3.2. Application of DMS Gasification 1. Higher Gate Fee Recycled Zero Waste Clinical Waste MSW RDF C&I Waste : Feedstock : Power : Residues : Recyclables APC Residues Landfill Site Landfill Waste DMS Plant Hazardous waste Industries 2. Reduce landfill Cost Power Sludge Recycled in the market 1. Higher Gate Fee Slag / Metal Grid WWTP 17
3.4.1. Higher Gate Fee -Clinical Waste / Sewage Sludge- 1. Higher Gate Fee Clinical Waste DMS Plant 500 EUR/t x 1% approx. 5 EUR/t Gate fee up Sludge 1. Higher Gate Fee WWTP 18
3.4.1. Higher Gate Fee -Landfill Waste Reclamation- 1. Higher Gate Fee Excavation Transportation Landfill Site Landfill Waste DMS Plant Oversized Landfill waste <200mm Waste 19
3.4.2. Reduce Landfill Cost - material recycle- Construction of New Landfill Site should also be avoided metal Materials of Iron industries Counterweight for construction machine Landfill Site No Waste DMS Plant 2. Reduce landfill Cost Interlocking block Asphalt paving Recycled in the market Slag Slag / Metal Slag Concrete block Soil Natural sand 20
3.5.1. Application Example - Narumi Plant - Location / Purchaser Nagoya City, Japan Fuel Municipal solid waste Bottom ash Incombustibles Combustibles Capacity 2 x 11 t/h 6 500 kj/kg Year of Start Up 2009 NSENGI Scope of Supply Full Turn key BOT Operation & Maintenance Bottom ash recycling is not allowed The municipality has no landfill site Need solutions. Co-Gasification and recycling 87% reduction of final landfill amount 21
(1) PlantPAD 3.5.2. Application Example - Operating Support - Monitored operating condition remotely Inspection data is recorded Checking operating data - ITV - Historical trend data - On-time operating condition easier maintenance management (2) Predictive Operation System Many operating records can predict the operating conditions. Several parameters are picked up for predictive operation. These supporting system lead easier O&M of gasification technology 22
4. Summary and Conclusion NIPPON STEEL & SUMIKIN ENGINEERING (NSENGI) has the largest and longest references of Waste Gasification and Melting Technology. This Direct Melting System has been already adapted to European Standard. High temperature gasification process Direct Melting System leads waste flexibility and production of Recyclables (high quality slag and metal). Waste Flexibility and Recycling materials from waste have possibility to expand the boundary conditions of waste management scheme. Especially, 1) Gate fee increase by other waste processing, and 2) Reducing landfill amount (furthermore considering new landfill site ) are important factors to consider this type of gasification. Direct Melting System can be an alternative thermal treatment for material and energy recovery from waste. 23
