Abstract

The increase in global waste levels and the decrease in fossil energy sources are major concerns around the world. Waste-to-Energy (WtE) technologies have been used to transform Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) into energy and minimize concerns about global waste levels and fossil energy. However, MSW presents a number of challenges when used as a feedstock for energy production due to its heterogeneous composition, low energy content, and high moisture. To design waste incineration power plants, it is necessary to measure the Higher Heating Value (HHV) and the composition characteristics of MSW. Therefore, this paper proposes a most suitable correlations based on ultimate analysis to accurately estimate the HHV of MSW. The correlations consider all parameters that influence the HHV of MSW. MSW was collected from both urban and rural areas. Ultimate analysis was performed to characterize the chemical composition of MSW from both areas, and the HHV was also determined to compare the differences in the chemical properties of MSW from different areas. This work helps save experimentation costs and assists in the design and management of waste incineration plants.
