From Power Plant to Incinerator: A Steam Turbine’s Story

Inside a garbage incinerator steam plant in a small town in Minnesota, up to 200 tons of waste are burned each day to produce steam for industrial use. In this video, we go behind the scenes to explore how a waste-to-energy facility operates — from trash processing and incinerators to boilers, pumps, fans, and emissions control systems. Hidden inside the plant is something unexpected: a 4.5-megawatt steam turbine generator built by the British company Peter Brotherhood. Although it has not operated in years, this turbine once generated electricity using steam produced from waste heat in a combined-cycle power system. Today, the plant supplies steam to nearby food processing facilities instead of producing power. We’ll take a detailed look at: Garbage incinerators and refractory-lined furnaces Boiler systems, economizers, and superheaters Feedwater, condensate, and steam turbine pumps Forced draft and induced draft fans Baghouse filters and emissions control equipment Deaerator and water treatment systems The historic steam turbo-generator and control room At the end of the tour, we connect this industrial turbine to the next video in the series — a deep dive into the engine room of the Edmund Fitzgerald, using original construction documents and a scale model to explain how Great Lakes steamships were powered.
