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 compressio n is used in forming the briquettes to drive out much of the attendant water a nd 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 o f sufficiently high quality that they can be ignited and used to drive a jet turbine for producing electricity and subsequently to create steam. The stea m so created can itself be used to drive electricity-generating turbines, or c an be used as process steam in whatever capacity necessary. |
