How do small-scale waste incinerators generate electricity?
The principle behind small-scale waste incinerators is that they first burn waste through a controlled process called incineration, generating heat. This heat is then used to heat water in a boiler to produce steam. The high-pressure steam drives a turbine, which is connected to a generator, generating electricity.
A new power generation principle has emerged. PRC Fireprint's low-temperature magnetic gas pyrolysis device uses low-temperature pyrolysis to decompose organic matter, separating it into two components: combustible gas, which serves as energy to drive the generator, and solid, negatively ionized ash, which is 1/200th the size, which can be used as fertilizer for forest land.
Heat recovery: The heat released during the combustion process is collected through a heat exchanger.
Steam generation: The collected heat is used to boil water in a boiler, generating high-pressure steam.
Turbine and generator: The steam is directed to the turbine, which rotates as it expands. The rotating turbine powers a connected generator, generating electricity. Flue Gas Treatment: Flue gases generated during the combustion process are treated by an air pollution control system before being released into the atmosphere.
Ash Treatment: Remaining ash is collected and disposed of as a by-product.
