This course covers all aspects of waste to energy systems, from the types of waste (garbage, refuse, industrial and agro wastes, etc) to the entire set of technologies to convert waste into valuable energy and then used for self-supply of heat and electricity or selling it through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

Waste is disregarded by most people. However, almost all types of waste are combustible and are therefore available at low cost or free of cost.

The training provides a comprehensive overview of best practice and advanced power generation technology through conditioning of waste materials and direct combustion, gasification, production, and utilisation of biogas, state-of-the-art dumping grounds with landfill gas collection and electricity generation, and conversion of biomass wastes from agro-industries like palm oil, sugar or rice mills into combined heat and power (CHP). The course also covers municipal waste incineration plants (WIP) with all its elements such as high tech grate and combustion chamber, flue gas cleaning system with filters, DeNOx and washer, and details of how to meet with the strongest environment protection standards.

The comparison of waste dumping vs. waste incineration and the evaluation under economic and environmental aspects are also discussed in detail, as well as the profitability of converting industrial wastes into valuable energy.

Project developers, governmental decision-makers, non-technical professionals, support professionals, or new engineering entrants into the waste-based power industry have to and will grasp the language and technology in order to proactively understand the key business activities. A confident understanding of the technical jargon used and a visual understanding of the various aspects of technology, facilities, and equipment provides an overall appreciation and serves as an excellent foundation for smooth communication and increased efficiency in inter-department project teamwork and negotiations with deliverers of components/equipment as well as customers purchasing generated heat and electricity.
