Incinerators.....please!

The flue gases can be managed. Personally I like peat bogs.

5,000-tonnes-a-day incinerator doubles as public park ring — When waste becomes spectacle

A 5,000-tonne-a-day incinerator in Asia turns trash into treasure, doubling as a public park and energy hub that redefines waste and urban beauty.

Flue Gas Scrubber

Flue Gas Scrubber is a true multifunction device that combines near-zero air emission control with versatile heat recovery possibilities.

And the neat thing about using peat moss as a filter is that you can dry it witth waste heat, burn it as a fuel, harvest the heat as energy and the heavy metals they captured from the flue gas are captured in the ash.

Ottawa could really use one of those. Sadly I think city council is just going to opt for another place to bury trash.

A lot of Canadian cities could use one of them.

It will never happen. David Suzuki would mobilize the entire city of Toronto plus Vancouver. No politician could tolerate the heat even if it is the right thing to do

Incineration is political Kryptonite. Even with high-tech, high-temperature 'plasma' burners, people equate them with the backyard burn barrel.

One problem with using peat bogs as a 'filter' is they are nowhere near where the source of most of the waste is.

I agree with you on the kryptonite.

But we now have a generation of folks calling for a nuclear reactor in every backyard. That hasn't been seen since the 1950s.

And we do have lots of incinerating peers to emulate. Education/propaganda works. It is what both killed and resurrected the nukes and killed the urban power plant.

As to the peatbogs, I sold peatbogs.
They were alternatives, and adjuncts, to chemical scrubbers. They were containerized and layered and the peat was replaced at regular intervals. The peat was brought to the plant and treated like any other reagent or input.

There's still a sizable bloc, at least in the GTA, that is against the nukes they have and the ones proposed. 'Wind and solar are the future'.

Perhaps the reason there has been a general quietness about nuclear, at least in the West, is the stagnant nature of the industry. When is the last time one was commissioned?

Man, I think it would take a lot of lipstick to pretty up an incinerator to the general public.

I wasn't aware that there was commercial peat industry beyond gardening. Even within that industry, there is much debate about its continued use because of the ecological impact.

All true. But every course of action attracts detractors. And things do change over time.

My boomers had a strong anti-nuke contingent. I was one of the pro-nuke crowd. Since then, I am told I have survived three more generations: X, Y(Millenials), and Z and am working on four, Alpha.

And I know for a fact they don't think like real people.

Meanwhile on the wet and wacky coast, with it's hate on for domestic NG heating homes and cooking dinner. I actually agree with the stance on crypto mining.
