Abstract:In this paper, a model for a single stage plasma gasification system for marine vessels characterized by significant waste production is proposed. The main objective of the model is to investigate the effects of different feedstock compositions on key parameters, such as electrical power produced and heat recovered. The different types of waste generated onboard are described along with their environmental impacts. Specific attention is given to solid wastes, sewage sludge and plastic wastes as potential feeds… Show more
