Trends in the Development of Municipal Incineration Plants

Abstract

Initially, plans for municipal incineration plants simply meant developing hygienic facilities where waste processing could take place. In light of what we know from the viewpoint of global warming or what we have learned most recently from our experience of the Great Eastern Earthquake, there are now many reasons for developing municipal incineration plants that can also be used as energy recovery facilities and regional disaster prevention centers based on high-efficiency power generation.
　This paper introduces such new trends in the development of incineration plants for municipalities.
