Abstract

The article discusses the methods of thermal utilization of municipal solid waste. The environmental burden on landfill disposal sites is reduced by waste incineration. At the same time, the production of heat energy occurs with moderately lower environmental impact. The work of an integrated district heating station was considered in the article. The influence of this installation on the environment and the features of the operation of the integrated district boiler house are considered. The study demonstrates the advantages of utilizing municipal waste at an integrated district heating plant over the method of waste incineration in a regular incineration plant.
