Many European refuse incinerators utilize the heat derived from refuse incineration for steam or hot water supply to district-heating systems or to certain industries for generation of electricity, for sludge drying, etc. The design of five typical incinerators with heat recovery is outlined and the value of recovered energy in terms of fuel oil savings is tabulated.
