PROCEDIMENTO PER IL RECUPERO DI ENERGIA DA MATERIALE SCIOLTO CONTENENTE SOSTANZE ORGANICHE

摘要

Anaerobic fermentation is ensured by fitting an air-tight cover over the rubbish. Combustible gas, partic. methane is drawn off and used for heating etc. The rubbish dump is now used as a controllable source of power by arranging to regulate the heat input or output of and the water supply to the dump. Pref. a heat exchanger primary circuit is buried in the dump and communicates with a secondary circuit which can extract heat from and inject heat into the dump. Infiltrated water drained from the dump is pref. recycled to maintain the moisture content of the dump. This recycled water can be cooled to extract heat from the dump. The material in the dump can be inoculated with agents to retard or accelerate bacterial activity as required. Deriving energy from a rubbish dump containing rotting organic waste.
