In this paper, the application and product analysis results of the hydrothermal technology on
local MSW for coal co-firing fuel will be presented. The experimental results such as physical
characteristics and elementary combustion characteristics of the treated MSW, along with its
blends with coal, will also be described. As for the chlorine removal process, the beneficial
effects of hydrothermal treatment on organic chlorine compound conversion to inorganic (water
soluble) chlorine in treated MSW, which can be removed later by water washing, will also be
presented.
