Engineering for Profit from Waste VI

Engineering for Profit from Waste VI brings together a collection of reviewed papers that highlight opportunities for new products, technologies, systems and operating techniques, and their implementation. This volume provides examples of current technologies, on-going research and development, and feedback from case studies.

Topics covered include:

• Incineration
• Pyrolysis
• Alternatives
• Materials recovery
• Organic processes

This book provides an update in new legislation and regulations, alternative methods of waste management with emphasis on energy recovery, and current and competitive technologies.
