1. Feedstock availability: The availability and quality of waste feedstock is a primary concern when designing a waste-to-energy facility.
2. Safety: Industrial waste-to-energy facilities should be designed to ensure the safety of workers, nearby residents, and the environment.
3. Environmental impact: The design of waste-to-energy facilities should take into account the environmental impact of the facility, particularly in terms of air emissions, water quality, and land use.
4. Energy conversion efficiency: High energy conversion efficiency is essential to maximize the amount of electricity generated from waste feedstock.
5. Waste Processing: The waste processing system should be optimized to ensure maximum recovery of energy and other valuable resources.
6. Regulatory compliance: Compliance with local, state, and federal regulations and permit requirements is critical to the success of a waste-to-energy facility.
7. Community engagement: Community engagement is essential to ensuring the success of a waste-to-energy facility, particularly in terms of addressing community concerns and building support for the project.
8. Operations and maintenance: The design should take into account the long-term operational and maintenance requirements of the facility to maximize efficiency and minimize downtime.
