The present invention provides integrated bunker storage systems for waste streams based on the composition and characteristics of waste streams. In particular, the present invention provides a process for generating individual waste streams based on a set of material characteristics. According to the system and method of the present invention, individual waste streams from wastes stored in bunkers are mixed in a given feed ratio to generate a feed stock that will produce a desired output from a chemical conversion process, e.g., gasification. Optionally, composition data regarding the feed stock can be certified to a third party.

1. A system, comprising: a separation system for separating waste constituents of a solid waste stream including separating plastics from fiber materials and forming a first type comprising predominately plastics and forming a second type comprising predominately fiber materials;a first bunker for storing the first type comprising predominately plastic materials;a second bunker for storing the second type comprising predominately paper materials;wherein the waste constituents of the first type are differentiated from the waste constituents of the second type based on moisture content and based on how a blended feed stock comprising a combination of the waste constituents from the first and second bunkers affects a total quantity of heat released by a combustion process when said blended feed stock is converted in said combustion process; anda control unit configured to control a rate of withdrawal of a first amount of the waste constituents of the first type from the first bunker based on information associated with a moisture content of the waste constituents of the first type, the control unit configured to control a rate of withdrawal of a first amount of the waste constituents of the second type from the second bunker based on information associated with a moisture content of the waste constituents of the second type, the first amount of the waste constituents of the first type and the first amount of the waste constituents of the second type for combining into the blended feed stock. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the solid waste stream comprises mixed municipal solid waste. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the solid waste stream comprises a source segregated stream. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the source segregated stream comprises recyclable materials. 5. The system of claim 3, wherein the source segregated stream comprises recycling residue. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the waste constituents of the first type comprise materials including one of high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, and polyethylene terephthalate. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the waste constituents of the second type differ from that of the first type and comprise materials including one of fibers, paper, newsprint, and wood. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the waste constituents of the first type are differentiated from the waste constituents of the second type based on at least one of the carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, chlorine, and ash content of the waste constituents. 9. The system of claim 1, the separation system including an optical sorter for collecting data pertaining to at least one of a volume and a weight of at least one of the waste constituents of the first type and the waste constituents of the second type. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the data is certified for use by a third party. 11. The system of claim 1, further comprising a blending system for combining at least the waste constituents of the first type and the waste constituents of the second type into said blended feed stock. 12. The system of claim 11, the blending system including an optical sorter for collecting data pertaining to at least one of a volume and a weight of at least one of the waste constituents of the first type and the waste constituents of the second type combined into said blended feed stock. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the data is certified for use by a third party. 14. A method, comprising: providing a first bunker;providing a second bunker;separating waste constituents of a solid waste stream including separating plastics from fiber materials and forming a first type comprising predominately plastics and forming a second type comprising predominately fiber materials;differentiating between mixed solid waste constituents of the first type and the second type from the solid waste stream based on a moisture content of the waste constituents and based on how the waste constituents affect a total quantity of heat released by a combustion process when the waste constituents of the first and second types are combined into a blended feed stock for conversion in the combustion process;placing the waste constituents of the first type comprising predominately plastic materials from the solid waste stream into the first bunker;placing the waste constituents of the second type comprising predominately paper materials from the solid waste stream into the second bunker;withdrawing a first amount of the waste constituents of the first type from the first bunker at a rate based on a moisture content of the waste constituents of the first type; andwithdrawing a first amount of the waste constituents of the second type from the second bunker at a rate based on a moisture content of the waste constituents of the second type for blending with the first amount of the waste constituents of the first type into the blended feed stock. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the mixed solid waste stream comprises municipal solid waste. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the solid waste stream comprises a source segregated stream. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the source segregated stream comprises recyclable materials. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein the source segregated stream comprises recycling residue. 19. The method of claim 14, further comprising collecting data pertaining to at least one of a volume and weight of at least one of the waste constituents placed into the first bunker and the waste constituents placed into the second bunker. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the data is certified for use by a third party. 21. The method of claim 14, wherein the waste constituents of the first type comprise materials including one of high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, and polyethylene terephthalate. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein the waste constituents of the second type differ from that of the first type and comprise materials including one of fibers, paper, and newsprint. 23. The method of claim 14, wherein the waste constituents of the first type are differentiated from the waste constituents of the second type based on at least one of the carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, chlorine, and ash content of the waste constituents. 24. The method of claim 14, further comprising blending waste constituents of the first type with waste constituents of the second type to form the blended feed stock. 25. The method of claim 24, further comprising collecting data pertaining to a chemical composition of the blended waste constituents of the first type and the second type. 26. The method of claim 25, wherein the data is certified for use by a third party. 27. The method of claim 24, further comprising densifying the blended feed stock.
