1. Introduction
Waste-to-energy (WTE) is a form of energy recovery, which uses trash as a fuel for generating power. Swedens WTE is the worlds best example.

2. Material Process 7. Advantages

Waste is mixed into a mass
before the waste is fed into
the incineration boiler.
Large grippers transfer the
waste to feed hopper.
The feed hopper pushes the
waste to the grate.
3. Combustion
Waste is burnt at 1000 C.
Release hot flue gases
Undergoes NOX Dioxins
Treatment/ Furans

(Stringfellow, 2017).
4. Power Generation
Superheated steam enters
steam turbine generator.
Cooled stream is reheated in
the economizer and super
heater (Thomas,2014).
Reduce landfills
