Municipal waste is converted into energy by trommel screen for power plants

With the acceleration of urbanization, the problem of garbage disposal is becoming increasingly serious. Traditional landfill and incineration methods not only occupy a large amount of land resources, but may also cause pollution to the environment. Therefore, converting municipal waste into energy becomes a feasible and environmentally friendly solution. In this process, the drum screen is one of the key equipments, and its importance cannot be ignored.

How does the trommel screen work?

The trommel screen is an important mechanical equipment that uses rotational motion to classify, dehydrate or remove impurities from materials. When the mixed organic waste enters the drum, materials with different particle sizes and properties will be effectively separated through constant turning and friction. This process increases the efficiency of subsequent energy recovery stages, such as anaerobic digestion or pyrolysis, thereby maximizing the extraction of energy contained within it.

Application in waste-to-energy generation

In municipal waste-to-energy power plants, trommel screens are mainly used in the preliminary sorting and pre-treatment stages. By crushing and drying domestic waste and then using a drum screen, large foreign objects such as plastic bags and large pieces of furniture can be quickly and efficiently removed, which are all negative factors that affect the subsequent processing process. At the same time, it can also further subdivide the remaining solid waste according to different particle sizes, providing better and more uniform small particle substrates for the next step of biodegradation or combustion, and improving the overall system operation efficiency.

Pay equal attention to environmental protection and economic benefits

The high-performance trommel screen manufactured by Zhongcheng Equipment fully considers wear resistance, high strength and ease of maintenance in its structural design, allowing it to maintain good working condition even under long-term operation. In addition, the equipment can significantly reduce operating costs because it reduces the need for manual operations and increases the level of automation. In the long term, realizing resource recycling will help reduce the government's financial burden, and it is also in line with the country's policy guidance on green development. It is a path to achieve a win-win situation for social and economic development.

The flow of urban domestic sludge and other types of solid waste into the market has become an irreversible trend, and how to scientifically and rationally dispose of these "intangible assets" has become an urgent task. With the help of advanced technological equipment, such as Zhongcheng's roller screen, we can not only optimize the entire garbage circulation chain, but also promote the development of clean energy to meet the more complex and ever-changing challenges of the human settlements in the future. This is not only a new opportunity brought by technological innovation, but also a new goal that each of us should work together to pursue.
