Abstract
In the present paper, the modelling of a dual-purpose plant for the production of electrical and thermal energy from the heat treatment of wastes is presented. Particularly, the model has been developed with the aim of performing a study about the simulation of a solid waste incineration process, which involves complex gas-solid reactions, in a fluidized bed combustor. The incineration plant is made of three sections, and namely a RDF combustion section, a flue gas treatment section and a thermal recovery section. This paper is mainly focused on the combustion section. Model results have been compared with the experimental data obtained derived from literature, showing a very good agreement. The proposed model may represent a useful and a reliable instrument to be used in both design and planning of new plants and in control and retrofit of existing plants.
