Waste Age 1987 Refuse Incineration ~. ~-

and Waste-to-Energy . . Listings . - .~ . ... .

- . . -. . -

This list includes refuse-burning plants old and new, some agmg realities and some municipal dreams.

Listed here are operating incinerators, at least one of which is more than two decades old, and refuse-to-energy plants planned to meet local needs by politicians and waste service professionals.

If all operating plants listed here mmain in operation and all those planned (those with sizes in tons per day) are built, the nation would, when the last plant comes on-line, have 225,110 tons per day of refuse-burrung capacity on-line.

What does that mean? Assuming that capacity is 85% available on any given day, that’s 191,343 tons bemg burned every day in the future. Let’s assume for a moment that the nation’s refuse production rate stays static at today’s estimated 220 million tons annually of res- idential and commerciaVindustrial refuse-or 602,700 tons per day.

The bottom line: with all of these realities kept running and the dreams made real, the nation would still need non-burning disposal means for 68.2% of its raw refuse every day. And that doesn’t take ash disposal into account.

annually; if it recycled 25% of that, it still will need to find a home for 8,250,000 tons.

Our report says the state’s municipal entities plan ld‘refuse-to- energy plants, with 20,974 tons of capacity. At an 85% availability rate, those facilities would burn 6.5 million tons over 365 days.

at least 1,600,000 tons of ash residue to put somewhere . . . about 167,000 trader loads annually. Using a six-day work week, that’s 10,800 tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) and ash m o w each day.

Consider New Jersey. The state generates 11 million tons of refuse

That still leaves New Jersey with 1,750,000 tons of raw refuse and

Optimism & caution There is reason for optimism for the future of refuse-to-energy. For one thing, consider the capacity, in tons per day, of plants opening in the next four years (from Index One):

1988: 13,950. 1989: 24,758. 1990: 26,664. 1991 : 17,800. That adds up to 83,172 tons per day of new incineration capacity

added over a 48-month period. Using the same 85% availability as- sumption, the capacity that developers and municipal officials believe will come on-line in those four years would be enough to handle vol- ume reduction needs for a city of 25.8 million people!

Why the drop in I991? A quick look at ihe four-year summary above would lead anyone to wonder-why the 1991 figure is so much lower. There are two possible answers: -~ - -

0 Developers and city officials are reluctant-to project plant opening dates more than two or three years into the future. It is much more likely than an additional 5,000 tons of daily capacity may be added to the 1991 figure than to the 1988 or 1989figures.

0 The 1991 drop also rmght reflect a.refuse-&nergy plant development decline in recent ye-. This drop can be directly attributed to uncertainties caused by:

~.

0 the prospect (and then the reahty-) of tax reform, which put at least a temporary crimp in the pr_eviously burgeoning growth of privately owned facilities; an&-: ” -

0 potential c h q e s in environmental regulations governing plant air pollution controls and, more.recently, ash disposal I

Omitted: plants that have been closed for a sgniIicant period of time. Materials recovered by various plants are not detailed. Plants built by military units of the U.S. government and by private industrial concerns for disposal only of on-site waste are not included.

Indexes: four Indexes to the Guide’s contents are included as part of the guide. These list plants by year of opening (1988-1991), plants by size (in five categories), RDF facilities opened and planned, and a state-by-state listing of plant numbers and capacities.

Waste Age tries to have the most up-todate information on every page. We acknowledge, however, that the constant changes in t h s segment of the waste industry may make some listings of this Guide out-of-date.
