Palm Beach County, Florida, recently completed the design and construction of a renewable energy facility. This presentation will focus on the technological, as well as financial, considerations of this project. The discussion will include these factors: how to compare waste-to-energy technology to other popular waste management options including landfilling, aerobic digestion, and others; how the county was able to overcome the typical obstacles for this type of facility, including site selection, financing, and permitting; and how design elements were incorporated into the project to allow it to better co-exist with the natural environment and meet stringent water resources and air pollution limits. Learning Objectives: Evaluate solid waste disposal options. Manage the site selection, permitting, and financing associated with development of a new waste to energy facility. Design a waste to energy facility to coexist with nature and the community.
