This invention relates to an energy conversion system (1) of the type used in small scale installations producing no more than 0.5Mw electric, 3Mw thermal energy output. The energy conversion system comprises a fluidized bed unit, a by-product fuel feed system, a heat exchanger, an exhaust filter and a negative pressure system. In combination, these provide a compact system capable of use with small amounts of by-product fuel that will adequately treat the by-product fuel so that it does not pose an environmental hazard. The energy conversion system thermally treats by-product and harnesses the heat generated by thermally treating the by-product. The harnessed heat may be used to produce steam or electricity and the heat, steam or electricity can be used in the operation of the installation thereby reducing the overhead operation costs of the small scale installation. <Figure 1> |
