AN ALGORITHM TO CALCULATE THE PERFORMANCE DETAILS OF AN RCFB INCINERATOR WITH HEAT-RECOVERY FOR THE TREATMENT OF DISTILLERY SPENT WASH

Incineration has become an acceptable and economically justifiable met hod of waste treatment. In the incineration of distillery spent wash, evaporation of the raw dilute waste to higher concentration to make it autogenous is the most difficult and costly part. A recirculating flu idized-bed incineration system is suggested in this regard which is ex pected to reduce the load on the external evaporators considerably. An algorithm, based on iteration is presented to calculate the performan ce details of the proposed incineration system.
