Description

This study aims at evaluating whether it is possible to combine together the use of a Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) plant for energy recovery and a sea water desalination unit in order to produce both electricity and potable water at competitive costs.

Abstract (Italian)

L'accoppiamento di un impianto di recupero energetico da frazioni combustibili derivate da rifiuti urbani (CDR) con un impianto di dissalazione di acqua di mare, consente di realizzare una significativa produzione sia di energia elettrica, sia di acqua potabile con costi competitivi.
