Gaseous emissions during concurrent combustion of biomass and non-recyclable municipal solid waste
Abstract Background: Biomass and municipal solid waste offer sustainable sources of energy; for example to meet heat and electricity demand in the form of combined cooling, heat and power. Combustion of biomass has a lesser impact than solid fossil fuels (e.g. coal) upon gas pollutant emissions, whilst energy recovery from municipal solid waste is a beneficial component of an integrated, ...

The environmental impact of people-oriented MSW management
The author's research and practical experience with municipal solid waste management have shown the urgent need for new thinking models. Present paradigms are stalemate. They do not allow for flexible approaches to solving an extremely dynamic problem. This paper discusses the basic flaws in present thinking models of residents, municipal administrators and even scholars. Fundamental arguments ...

Extraction of fuel from municipality solid wastes using an updraft gasifier
In Bangladesh, cities are confronted with the problem of how to dispose large quantities of municipal solid waste (MSW). Gasification is a process that uses heat, pressure and steam to convert materials (MSW) directly into a gas composed primarily of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The main objectives of this paper are: 1) to study gasification processes; 2) to design, fabrication and performance ...

Project Waste 2 Go - Upgrading Municipal Waste - Case Study
Waste2Go is a research and technological development (RTD) project, co-funded under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), the "Environment" Theme. The objective is to transform the biogenic fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (over 55%) into chemicals with an economic value greater than if it was used as an energy source. The project hopes to reduce pressure on primary raw ...

Forecasting of solid waste quantity and composition: a multilinear regression and system dynamics approach
In the present study, a multiple linear regression model and system dynamics model have been proposed for forecasting municipal solid waste quantity and composition respectively. The system dynamics model is based on the comparison of results obtained using logistics, sigmoidal and growth kinetics functions. These models were applied for the case study of Delhi, the capital of India. From the ...

Environmental audit of Municipal Solid Waste Management
The management of municipal solid waste has become an acute problem due to enhanced economic activities and rapid urbanisation. Increased attention has been given by the government in recent years to handle this problem in a safe and hygienic manner. In this regard, Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) environmental audit has been carried out for Bangalore city through the collection of ...

Environmental assessment of some non–biodegradable solid wastes along Vasai Creek of Mumbai
The pollution problem due to non–biodegradable solid waste (NBDSW) along the Vasai Creek of Mumbai is one of the major issues which have remained totally neglected over past many years. The results of the present investigation indicates that plastics carry bags, milk/oil bags, plastic bottles, footwear and automobile tyres/tubes are some of the prominent NBDSW materials responsible for solid ...

RDF Shredder for MSW
Another source of energy besides gas or coal is refuse derived fuel, or RDF. This valuable energy source can be obtained from shredding certain combustible materials, such as paper and plastic. In fact, a wide variety of general waste and municipal solid waste (MSW) can be used to create RDF as long as it meets BTU requirements. These solid waste materials can be converted into RDF, but the ...

Enhancing the hydrolysis step in anaerobic digestion of municipal solid waste using rumen fluid
Bench scale reactors were operated to optimise the hydrolysis rate of municipal solid waste (MSW) using daily and alternate day addition of 3%, 5% and 10% V/V of rumen fluid. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of leachate were practised daily. Cumulative pollution leaching, i.e. COD, TS, VFA and Amm-N, was comparatively higher with the daily addition of rumen fluid than the alternate addition ...

Estimating evolution of δ13CH4 during methanization of municipal solid waste based on chemical reactions, isotope accumulation in products and microbial ecology
Natural isotopic composition in substrate may be used to reveal the metabolic pathways of substrate transformation by microbial community. In this paper, a change in δ13CH4 during methanization of reconstituted municipal solid waste was described using a mathematical model based on stoichiometric chemical reactions, equation for the 13C isotope accumulation in products at the low natural C13/C12 ...

Management of organic content in municipal solid waste - a case study of Lahore
Poor solid waste management (SWM) is one of the leading obstacles for absolute clean and healthy environment. Growing economy of Lahore has rapidly increased growth rate which in turn has flared solid waste generation. Municipal solid waste is contributing heavily to air, water and land pollution and a major portion of municipal waste is organic. Generally considered unfruitful, this organic ...

Municipal Solid Waste Shredding
Solid waste shredding and municipal solid waste (MSW) size reduction requires processing of many different materials, from filled drums to household waste. And, as the amount of solid waste increases and the cost of landfill management increases, it is becoming more critical that waste management become more effective, economic and efficient. Shredded and compacted waste is easier and cheaper to ...

The mathematical modelling of biomethane production and the growth of methanogenic bacteria in batch reactor systems fed with organic municipal solid waste
A mathematical model was developed and validated for an anaerobic digestion system of the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Wastes (OFMSWs) by using a laboratory-scale system of two Packed Bed Reactors (PBRs). The equations were obtained by the mass balances of methanogenic bacteria of affluent and effluent lixiviated, as well as the interior in each reactor. The methane rate was obtained by ...

Application of FCE?AHP method for multi-criteria decision-making of municipal solid waste management alternatives: a case study in the Dalian Development Zone of China
Because of rapid economic and population growth as well as change in consumption patterns in last decades, municipal solid waste management (MSWM) has become an important strategic decision so that the evaluation and assessment process is attached a prime concern. Avoiding the injustice which may be caused by subjective factors, this paper sets up a hybrid model of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation ...

Prioritising municipal solid waste management factors in India using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process
Studies have shown that even elaborate Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) schemes turn futile. Hence, people involved in MSWM should design the schemes carefully by taking in account the correct factors and giving them due weightage. Consequently, identifying the MSWM factors and their significance becomes an essential and crucial process for a waste management scheme to be environmentally ...
