There is provided a system for recycling waste heat using a solid refuse fuel incinerator, the system including: a solid refuse fuel incinerator configured to incinerate solid refuse fuel supplied into the solid refuse fuel incinerator, the solid refuse fuel incinerator being configured to discharge exhaust gas produced during the incineration; a harmful material precipitator configured to adsorb and precipitate a harmful material by injecting adsorption water to the discharged exhaust gas; a precipitation water filtering device configured to filter and purify precipitation water in which the harmful material is adsorbed and precipitated; a steam power generator configured to generate electricity using steam produced by heat exchange between waste heat of the incinerator and cooling water supplied to cool the solid refuse fuel incinerator; and a hydroponic cultivator configured to be supplied with clean water purified by the precipitation water filtering device and perform hydroponics using the supplied clean water.

A plant for recovering metals and/or metal oxides from industrial process waste, in particular oil product refining waste, comprises a furnace; a feed line connected to a main inlet of the furnace and configured to feed the furnace with a solid waste containing metals, in particular in oxide form; an outlet line, connected to a solid phase outlet of the furnace and configured to draw a metal-enriched solid phase out of the furnace; the furnace is a belt conveyor furnace having a belt conveyor closed in a loop with a substantially horizontal configuration and having a top face, which receives the waste to treat and conveys it between two longitudinal opposite ends of the belt conveyor furnace respectively provided with the main inlet and the solid phase outlet.

A bale boiler incinerates bales of material, and particularly bales made from waste, garbage and other refuse, in order to provide heat for a steam turbine generator, and includes a conveyor for transporting bales of waste material through a three-stage boiler. The boiler is preferably divided into three stages: 1) the warming stage, 2) the main incineration stage, and 3) the supplemental incineration stage. In the warming stage, the bale is warmed and dried. In the main incineration stage, the bale is burned to create heat that is then used to power a steam turbine electrical generator or the like. In the third, supplemental incineration stage, the remnants of the bale burn down to ash, and the remaining ash and non-combustible waste are then transported out of the boiler by the conveyor and dumped into a receptacle or container for transport and disposal.
