4 FAQs about Risk control requirements for waste-to-energy projects

Do waste-to-energy plants need hazard assessment?

Waste-to-energy plants are becoming increasingly complex, employing sophisticated technol-ogy; this means that rigorous hazard assessment processes and techniques are required to ensure plant safety. Examples of risk reduction measures and good practice are given. The paper covers: .

Are process safety practices relevant to waste-to-energy plants?

Well publicised incidents such as Texas City, Buncefield and Deepwater Horizon act as reminders of the importance of a commitment to process safety management. This paper con-siders the relevance and application of established process safety practices from the process indus-tries to waste-to-energy plants.

What are the risks of planning and permitting?

Planning and Permitting Risk: Planning and permitting decisions for waste management facilities are often highly controversial in light of the associated environmental and health concerns (such as emissions, smell, noise and traffic movement).

What are the risks of gasification in waste-to-energy plants?

Critical process safety issues are highlighted, focussing on gasification type waste-to-energy plants There is fire and explosion risk potential, due to the presence of highly flammable gases (hydrogen and carbon monoxide). Toxic gas release has potentially serious consequences due to the presence of large quan-tities of carbon monoxide. .
