dc.description.abstract | This work evaluates and selects the best
sequence of operations for the pretreatment of greenhouse
agricultural wastes (GAW) derived from the main greenhouse
crops of the west of Almeria (Spain), such as tomatoes,
peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, zucchinis, watermelons and
melons, before recovering its potential energy in a cement
plant located in this province. In this research, a set of
operations are proposed to reduce the chlorine percentage
and the moisture content presented in this kind of waste, for
its use as an alternative fuel in this production facilities. A
washing of the waste under optimal conditions may reduce
the chlorine content by approximately 50.0% of the original
value and increase the lower calorific value by 8.0%. Drying the waste with a hot gas stream could produce a recoverable waste
with a moisture content lower than 3.0%, which enables its temporary storage while avoiding its degradation. The use of an
adequate amount of conditioned GAW can provide a substitute up to 51% of the conventional fossil fuel currently employed in
the daily operation of the facility evaluated, leading to a reduction of the CO2 emissions associated with the decrease in the fossil
fuel consumption. | es |
