Abstract
A technical and economic evaluation of a process to convert municipal solid waste to a pipeline quality gas has been carried out, based upon a previously reported conceptual design for a 907 metric ton/day (1000 tpd) facility. The process design is shown to be technically within the state of the art, although economically acceptable operating parameters are at the upper limit of today's technology. The calculated baseline gas cost of $0.074/m 3 ($2.09/mcf) is economically acceptable when compared with projected costs of synthetic gas or alternative fuels. Experimental priorities to demonstrate the commercial feasibility of the process are established.
