<p>Urban waste is compressed into briquettes that can subsequently be gasified to produce fuel gas, which can subsequently be used to produce electricity and steam. Combustible refuse is fed into a briquetting machine. High compression is used in forming the briquettes to drive out much of the attendant water and produce a briquette that is resistant to decomposition. These briquettes can be used immediately or can be stored for relatively long periods of time before use. When the briquettes are gasified, the resulting fuel gases are of sufficiently high quality that they can be ignited and used to drive a jet turbine for producing electricity and subsequently to create steam. The steam so created can itself be used to drive electricity-generating turbines, or can be used as process steam in whatever capacity necessary.</p> |
