COMBUSTION CONJUNTA DE IODOS DE DESECHOS EN CAMARAS MUNICIPALES DE COMBUSTION DE DESECHOS Y OTROS HORNOS

Se refiere a cámaras de combustión de desechos municipales (MWCs) y por ampliación a todas las calderas de generación de energía con vapor y otros hornos. Incluye el manejo y la disposición por medio de descomposición térmica de lodos de desecho con un contenido sólido variable incluyendo lodos de alcantarillado municipal, lodos de fábricas de papel y otros lodos induatriales. A system and method for treating, injecting and co-combusting sludge in a municipal waste or other combustor is disclosed. The system includes a sludge receiving and treatment module and a sludge injection and combustion module. The sludge is received and stored in one or more storage hoppers where it is first diluted with a liquid and subsequently mixed to a desired homogeneous consistency suitable for pumping. The high liquid content sludge is then pumped to a furnace injection nozzle where it is preferably atomized with steam and sprayed into the combustion zone of the furnace. The disclosed system and method increases sludge moisture content and controls the solids content of the sludge to control furnace temperature.
