Abstract
Before the year 2000, more than one quarter of U.S.
businesses will be firing Alternate Fuels in their boiler
systems. And, the trend toward using Process Gases,
Flammable Liquids, and Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOC's), to supplement fossil fuels, will be considered a
key element of the management strategy for industrial
power plants.
The increase in interest in Alternate Fuels and demand for
proven Alternate Fuel technology is being driven by three
factors -*
The requirement of U.S. firms to compete in a global
market.
* The improvements in Alternate Fuel technologies.
* The increasing federal regulations encompassing
more types of waste streams.
This paper will provide an overview of the types of waste
utilized as fuel sources in packaged boilers and the
technology available to successfully handle these waste
streams.
