Method for gaining calorific energy from waste material, especially garbage

摘要

The process comprises spreading the waste on a grate (5) which is then passed through a firing space (12) and has a gaseous oxidiser supplied to it. The oxidiser is passed over the waste (11) on the grate into the firing space, forming flames from the combustible volatile components of the waste. The flames supply the radiant heat to release the combustible volatile materials. The residue of the waste forms a coke. The unburnt volatile material can be used as a combustible gas. The oxidiser may be supplied to the firing space via several locally separated elements (15).
