“…• The energy balance is linearized with two inequalities setting upper and lower bounds for the energy input as a function of the incinerated residues, as successfully introduced in previous studies. 12 • The composition of each waste class w is assumed to be constant in time. Changes concerning waste residues are expressed as variations of the amounts for each class.…”

“…The investigated waste-to-energy system is modeled as a mixed-integer linear problem (MILP) with discrete time representation, as successfully introduced in previous studies on the optimization of industrial waste incineration. , The developed multiperiod model is written with a modular formulation, such that it can be applied to both single-site systems and multisite networks. Moreover, it is easily adaptable to different time resolutions by changing the affected parameters accordingly, in order to achieve the desired result precision.…”

“…Auxiliary fuels, such as natural gas and water are used in case of energy shortage and excess, respectively. In this sense, recent studies have shown that an optimized planning and scheduling of hazardous waste incineration can be an efficient tool to reduce the consumption of such auxiliary fuels, with important economic and environmental benefits. , The model proposed by Abaecherli et al , optimizes waste flows between different storage and treatment units, while imposing relevant operational constraints on waste mixing, treated capacity and combustion temperature under an auxiliary fuel minimization objective.…”

This work proposes a novel methodology for the optimization of industrial waste-to-energy networks, combining logistic, site management, and process elements into a single mixed-integer linear problem (MILP) formulation. The developed model is validated with real information stemming from industrial and institutional partners and consequently applied to a multisite case study covering the whole Swiss industrial waste-to-energy network. Due to the sparse nature of its chemical and pharmaceutical industry, and to centralized incineration facilities, this can be considered as an ideal case for testing the application of developed methodology to complex systems. A set of objective functions is used to investigate the implications of diverging goals on economic, environmental, and safety aspects, with particular focus on investments and possible synergies. Results indicate the importance of investments in oxy-combustion that, together with a more cooperative management of the network including the cement industry, enable a more local waste treatment with a consequent reduction of shipments.

The decrease and unreasonable utilization of petroleum derivatives and the effect of greenhouse gases on nature are driving exploration into sustainable power source development from natural assets and waste. The worldwide vitality request is high, and a large portion of this energy is developed from fossil fuels. Recent investigations report that Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is a proficient option innovation that joins bio-fuel yield with reasonable waste administration; and, different mechanical patterns exist in the biogas business which upgrades the generation and nature of biogas. Profound interests in AD are relied upon to meet with the expanding accomplishments because of the minimal effort of accessible nourish stocks and the extensive variety of employments for biogas (i.e., for warming, power and fuel). Biogas formation is urged in numerous countries to build up the commercial market and offers a conservative option for bio-energy generation. In India, many States are empowering their kin and supporting them financially to build bio plants. The goal of this paper is to give a review of biogas plants, sorts of waste used to deliver biogas, approaches to produce biogas and issues in the biogas generation.

“…Currently, the incineration of hazardous waste, due to the decomposition of harmful substances into simpler inorganic compounds, is the most effective method of disposal. However, combustion processes require extensive investments in infrastructure [4,5]. The costs of construction and operation of incineration plants are by far the highest among all disposal methods.…”

Industrial waste deposited in landfills poses a threat to the environment and can cause its deterioration. The physical and chemical processes that result in the formation of a number of harmful substances occur in the mass of stored waste. When released to the environment these compounds can be dangerous to all its elements, especially to groundwater. The monitoring of landfill impact plays an important role in assessing the state of the environment. It allows us to follow what changes take place in the waste bed itself, and in particular elements of the environment. On the basis of long-term monitoring studies (conducted in the years 1995-2016), the quality of groundwater around the industrial waste landfill in Zgierz was determined and its impact on the environment was characterized. The quality of conducted monitoring was assessed in relation to the current regulations. Analysis of the results of groundwater quality tests confirms that the industrial landfill in the operational phase due to a number of applied security measures has not contributed to the deterioration of groundwater quality. In the post-operational phase, groundwater contamination is observed, and consequently irreversible changes occur in the environment. The negative impact of the landfill can be due to the disruption of sealing layers and elution of pollutants from the waste by rainwater. The landfill site monitoring plays a key role in assessing causal relationships occurring between the state of the landfill and elements of the environment in its vicinity.
