Alternative fuel sources being studied
Environment Ontario's Cent-
re for Resource Recovery re-
cently released two reports,
one dealing with the uses of
solid waste for industrial fuel
and the other giving an energy
analysis of resource recovery
options..
The reports were prepared
jointly for the Ministries of
Environment and Energy as
part of Ontario's Energy Man-
agement Program. Environ-
ment Ontario is conducting a
long-term waste management/
resource recovery program
which includes construction of
an experimental plant in North
York and establishment of
resource recovery plants in
conjunction with municipalities
in key regions.
As prices of prime petroleum
fuels, natural gas and fuel
oil escalate and domestic petro-
leum reserves diminish, altern-
nate sources of fuel and enery
conservation are -being sought.
FUEL:
The environmental advan-
tages of using solid waste for
industrial fuel are established.
Most notably the necessity for
landfill would be substantially
diminished and petroleum and
other conventional fuel sources
conserved. The technological
and economical future of refuse -
derived fuel is promising
according to the fuel study.
Envirocon Ltd. prepared this
report on solid waste which
deals primarily with the tech-
nology of pyrolysis/gasification
systems capable of converting
mixed waste materials to fuel
gas and non-combustible resi-
due. Other more conventional
approaches including incinera-
tion methods and combustion
of refuse -derived fuel (RDF) are
also assessed.
Detailed comments are pro-
vided on five pyrolysis/gasifi-
cation systems which involve
distilling combustible gases on
oils from garbage. These and
other methods of solid waste
conversion and the advantages
and disadvantages of using
solid waste or fuel are care-
fully considered. The report
concludes that these new fuel
sources are technically, eco-
nomically and environmentally
feasible as an alternative to
conventional fossil fuels, with
the substantial consideration
that landfill will be signifi-
cantly diminished. Four practi-
cal recommendations to aid in
establishing solid waste pro-
cessing plants, conclude the
report:
1. Identify industrial plants
by region which meet criteria

favoring use of solid waste as
fuel.
2. Select one or more pro-
mising situations for site-
specific feasibility analysis,
which should cover incinera-
tion/steam generation and py-
rolysis/gasification.
3. Regionally identify in-
dustrial boilers suitable for
utilization of refuse -derived
fuel (RDF).
4. Examine feasibility of
production of RDF and trans-
port to industrial plants.
ENERGY;
The Ontario Research Found-
ation prepared the report on
Energy Analysis of Resource
Recovery Options, which estab-
Iishes the potential energy
savings in recovering material
from' municipal garbage and
assesses the costs and energy
efficiencies of several recov-
ery methods.
The report is divided into
five sections, the first dealing
with the assessment of energy
costs of several resource re-
covery methods for municipal
refuse. The second and sub-
sequent sections deal with
procedures for energy analysis
and the processing of specific
materials, with potential energy
savings shown for recycling
newspapers, glass containers,
steel and aluminum.
The study focuses more on
the establishment of a de-
finite energy analysis methodo-
logy and attempts to encompass
many of the conditions which
do not follow any set pattern,
as with the analysis of second -
ary and primary aluminum.
It does not endeavor to make
any specific recommendations
as to how to constrain con-
ventional fuel sources or con-
siderations for implementing
methods of using solid waste
for fuel.
Both reports are available
