PLANT FOR WASTE DISPOSAL AND ASSOCIATED METHOD

Abstract

Described herein is a plant for the disposal of wastes including: a supercritical water oxidation reactor (SCWO), a supercritical water gassification reactor (SCWG), a feeding system configured for feeding at least two organic currents of wastes to said SCWO and SCWG and configured for feeding at least one aqueous flow within said plant, wherein said feeding system is configured for feeding said at least one aqueous current with a series flow throw said SCWO and SCWG and wherein said feeding system is furthermore configured for feeding said at least two organic currents of wastes with a parallel flow through said SCWO and SCWG and so as to selectively feed each of said organic currents of wastes to said SCWO or to said SCWG. Moreover described is a corresponding method for waste disposal. Finally, an extensive description is providedregarding the possibilities of thermal and energy integration in genereal between the two sections of the plant (gasification and oxidation).
