Municipal Solid Waste
• EPA 2008 report on MSW generation– Approximately 250 million tons of MSW
generated by Americans in 2008• ~33.2% is recycled and composited (83 million tons)
– Approximately 4.5 pounds of MSW generated per person per day• 1.5 pounds of the 4.5 is recycled and composited.

Why MSW?
• Renewable Energy Source• Helps the Environment (CH4 emissions)
• Cost effective• Transportation Reduction• Located near cities and existing
infrastructure

Disadvantages of MSW
• Preparation of feedstock• A lower heating value than conventional
feedstocks • Higher Ash content than conventional
feedstocks

Design Basis
•Commercial Scale Production• 2500 metric tonnes per day MSW • 1800 metric tonnes per day Syngas
•Landfill choice• Location• Proximity to City• Water Sources• Size and expansion

Design Basis
• River Bend Prairie Landfill– 88 Acres– 20 Acres of expansion– Access to MSW of
Chicago– Rail and River access– Residential– Limited Expansion
![Page 8: “Garbage to Gas”](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814c81550346895db99ed3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Design Basis
• Newton County Landfill– 265 Acres– Room for expansion– Access to MSW of South
Chicago– Transportation– No river access
![Page 9: “Garbage to Gas”](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814c81550346895db99ed3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Design Basis
• Environmental ReviewPositives• Removal of MSW from local landfill (75% of 2500 metric
tonnes per day low end value enter gasification processing)• Gasification by-products are captured and properly stored
(no venting into atmospheres)– Negatives• 400 million lbs of hazardous waste per year (mostly ash)• 100,000 lbs will need relocation (cannot be further utilized)

Design Basis
Industrial Standard Review• Clean Syngas produced in 2.05 ratio H2/CO for use by
chemical production
Clear Statement of Feedstock• MSW from landfills• Return to landfill includes: glass, appliances, paints or
oils• Metal will be recycled

MSW to RDF
• MSW – municipal solid waste in• Sorting – removal of recycle metals and
other rejects• Screening procedures• Shredding and drying • RDF – Refuse Derived Fuel out

Gasification Reactions
• C is a carbon containing compound
• Char reacts with CO2 and steam (gasifier)
C + H2O CO + H2 + 131 MJ/kmol
C + CO2 CO + 172 MJ/kmol
• Combustion reactor heats sand (olivine)C + ½ O2 CO - 111 MJ/kmol
CO + ½ O2 CO2 - 238 MJ/kmol
H2 + ½ O2 H2O - 242 MJ/kmol Che 397 - Team Bravo

Water-Gas Shift and Methane Rxns
CO + H2O CO2 + H2 - 41 MJ/kmol
• Slightly exothermic• Required to achieve Syn Gas ratio of 2.05• Great opportunity for methane reforming
• CH4 + H2O CO + 3H2 + 206 MJ/kmol

TBE Gasification Process
![Page 17: “Garbage to Gas”](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814c81550346895db99ed3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Disadvantages of Other Processes
• High pressure/Energy intensive• Lower quality raw syngas• Air or oxygen requirements• Poor scale up• Unproven technology
![Page 18: “Garbage to Gas”](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814c81550346895db99ed3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Advantages of TBE Process
• Low pressure• Relatively low temperature• Efficient ash removal• Indirect gasification• Residence time less than one second
