Electricity From Solid Waste At Lakeland, Florida

The City of Lakeland, Florida, Department of Electric and Water Utilities owns and operates a municipal electric utility system to generate and distribute electric power. The Utility serves over 60,000 customers in a 260 square mile service area. It is one of the first pioneers of burning municipal solid waste (MSW) as a supplemental fuel to generate electric power in the U.S.A. A 364 MW steam turbine generating unit was designed to fire eastern bituminous coal and a combination of pulverized coal and 10% processed MSW. This paper describes the solid waste processing facility, the problems encountered during the first year of operation and the economics of burning MSW in a large electric utility boiler.
