Waste to Energy Processes

Module
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Susanne Rotter, M.Sc. Daniela Moloeznik 
Lecture Waste to Energy
Course 0333 L 540
2 SWS VL

course language: english

Content:

  • Status of Waste to Energy in Waste Management 
  • Physicochemical principles of incineration, drying, pyrolysis, and gasification 
  • Process and operational units description of thermal waste treatment. 
  • Emissions Control, flue gas cleaning and residues treatment. 
  • Secondary recovered fuel production from waste 
  • Energy use and co-incineration in industry
Exercise Waste energy utilization 
Lehrveranstaltung 0333 L541
2 SWS UE

course language: english

Content:

By using the energy stored in waste, waste management in Germany contributes to climate and resource protection. Waste-to-Energy also includes energy recovery of substitute fuels as biogas and biomass. In this exercise, basic principles are laid down for the interpretation and evaluation of energetic exploitation measures::
  • Incineration calculations (process parameters calculations as air amount, temperature, energy recovered, efficiency)
  • Water-vapor cycles (Rankine cycle)
  • Energy Balances for different treatments drying, incineration, biogas  
  • CO2-Balances for the assessment of climate change (CO2 calculations and comparisons)
  • Profitability analysis for waste-to-energy projects
Course material and schedule are available on ISIS

Content:

  • Quantification and characterization of organic waste, biological and geochemical conversion processes
  • Process technologies for composting and anaerobic digestion facilities, and also landfills and mechanical-biological-treatment plants
  • Design and dimensioning of composting and biogas plants or landfills
  • emission prevention by leachate and exhaust air treatment biological treatment plants
  • Final storage criteria for landfill management
  • Prognosis and utilization of landfill and biogas

Waste practical analytical lab

Supplementary module 
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Susanne Rotter, M.Sc. Daniela Moloeznik 
Course 0333 L 403
2 x 2 SWS PR = 4 SWS (2 x 3 ECTS = 6 ECTS)
ATTENTION: from WiSe 2017/2018 and on the first and second part are done together and they take place one after another in the lapse of two weeks.. The laboratory course will take place from 02.03.2020 to the 14.03.2020. Deadline for registration is on the 01.02.2020 Seminars already take place one week earlier!


Content:
Part 1 - Fuel characterization

In Part 1 from the practical waste lab an overview of waste analysis is given, specially for important terms in the area of thermal waste treatment.
 Main topics include:
  • Sample taking and representativity
  • Waste, refuse derived fuels and biomass as fuel characterization  
  • Quality assurance of refuse derived fuels
  • Statistical analysis and interpretation

Part 2 - Disposal criteria and compost quality assurance

  • Evaluate the parameters to landfill or recycle pre-treated waste
  • Compost quality criteria
Course materials and dates are available in ISIS2
Just one part can be also chosen (each one 3 ECTS).

The two laboratory practical works are optimal supplementary modules for Waste to energy and Biological processes and landfill technology.
The current description of the module is available in Moses.

Specialization modules at the Chair of Circular Economy and Recycling Technology (SoSe 2018)

Lupe
© FG Kreislaufwirtschaft

The following specialization modules can be chosen at the Chair of Circular Economy and Recycling Technology. The current valid specializations and its descriptions can be found in the module transfer system (MTS) Moses. They replace respectively update the list of specializations stated in the valid study and examinations regulations. In case of questions regarding module content or modalities please contact the responsible person of each module. 

When registering for the examination, the main modules must be registered as such. Subsequent approval of specialization modules, by the examination board, is generally not possible.

Warning (!): the course of Grundlagen der Kreislaufwirtschaft cannot be anymore part of any specialization.

Specialization 1: "Solid waste process technologies"

Specialization 2: "Advanced recycling technologies"

Specialization 3: "Biomass utilization and valorization"
