  • Publication number: 20110232284
    Abstract: A process is described for obtaining energy from waste, comprising the following phases: a) bio-drying of municipal solid waste (MSW) to transform it into refuse-derived fuel (RDF), a dry, homogeneous material with piece size of around 20-30 cm, known by the name of RDF; h) compacting of the material obtained from phase a) into bales or BIOCUBr and storage of the BIOCUBI® in bioreactors; c) activation by wetting with water of the bioreactors to produce biogas by anaerobic digestion; d) combustion at the start of the material obtained from phase a) (RDF) and subsequently of the residue already digested in the bioreactors, and therefore not biodegradable, in a waste combustor provided with a system of purification of combustion gasses and production of superheated steam at approximately 400° C. and pressure of around 70 bar; e) combustion of the purified biogas in a conventional boiler provided with re-superheaters for raising the temperature of the steam produced by the waste combustor by approximately 100° C.
