Understanding the difference between incineration and gasification is crucial for anyone interested in waste-to-energy solutions.
5 Key Points to Understand the Difference Between Incineration and Gasification
1. Process of Waste Treatment
Incineration involves direct combustion of waste at high temperatures, typically around 800-1000 degrees Celsius, over a short period of time.
2. Energy Production
The heat generated during incineration is used to produce electricity.
3. Byproducts of Incineration
In this process, the waste is completely combusted, and the resulting ash is usually disposed of in landfills.
4. Gasification Process
Gasification does not involve direct combustion. Waste, along with steam and oxygen, is fed into a gasifier where heat and pressure break down the chemical bonds of the waste.
5. Syngas Formation
This process results in the formation of synthesis gas (syngas), which is composed of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane. The syngas can be used as a fuel for electricity generation or further processed into other valuable products.
