Abstract
Waste-to-energy, gasification of Waste is attaining a lot of interest in the
recent years. Whilst Korea recycles 60% of its Waste, there is still a portion
of the waste entering the landfill sector. Most landfills in Korea have already
attained their lifespan or at the urge of cease, also due to scarcity of land
and not in my back yard syndrome (NIMBY), there are few possibilities for the
construction of newer landfill sites. Therefore, such wastes can be directed
from landfilling to a form of renewable energy through gasification technology.
This study focuses on the gasification of Waste, specifically on the combustion
characteristics of the waste synthetic gas when blended with LNG flame in an industrial
LNG combustor, burning effeciency (oxygen intake), and combustion performances.
This study was conducted using reference equation and models from the literature.
The characteristics of the flame were studies using various blended mixture
(blend of syngas and LNG). Our results depict that, the blend of 70% of
synthetic gas and 30% of LNG seemed desirable, in addition, the air distribution
rate and swirl intensity confirmed stable flame shape. Thus, resulting in an
established and better combustion performance than any other conventional combustors.
This study facilitates in increasing the burning effeciency of a desired waste.
