“…A 54 total of 33 standards and reports were published to cover all the different aspects involved in SRF 55 quality assurance, such as determination of calorific value and moisture contents, and methods for 56 sampling (British Standards Institution, 2011a, 2011b, 2011c). The main indicators used by the 57 Waste from commercial and industrial, or from construction and demolition sources do not usually 114 have a biodegradable fraction (Nasrullah et al, 2014a(Nasrullah et al, , 2014b, therefore biological processes are not 115 required (Velis et al, 2010). There are two main types of biological processes used in MBT systems,116 biodrying and anaerobic digestion.…”

Waste management processes generally represent a significant loss of material, energy and economic resources, so legislation and financial incentives are being implemented to improve the recovery of these valuable resources whilst reducing contamination levels. Material recovery and waste derived fuels are potentially valuable options being pursued by industry, using mechanical and biological processes incorporating sensor and sorting technologies developed and optimised for recycling plants. In its current state, waste management presents similarities to other industries that could improve their efficiencies using process analytical technology tools. Existing sensor technologies could be used to measure critical waste characteristics, providing data required by existing legislation, potentially aiding waste treatment processes and assisting stakeholders in decision making. Optical technologies offer the most flexible solution to gather real-time information applicable to each of the waste mechanical and biological treatment processes used by industry. In particular, combinations of optical sensors in the visible and the near-infrared range from 800nm to 2500nm of the spectrum, and different mathematical techniques, are able to provide material information and fuel properties with typical performance levels between 80% and 90%. These sensors not only could be used to aid waste processes, but to provide most waste quality indicators required by existing legislation, whilst offering better tools to the stakeholders.

“…Thus, most industries need detailed analysis of their waste at all stages of management activities. Many economic and environmental benefits have resulted for the industries that have evaluated and altered their own waste management system (Nasrullah et al, 2014).…”

“…Further, fractions of non-hazardous industrial wastes can be harnessed to produce energy as Solid Refuse Fuel [8] and this has been attempted in Uganda [9]. Industries are constantly in need of details of the wastes they generate and it has been reported that some industries implementing good waste management practices realized large economic and environmental benefits [10]. Several published information on industrial wastes from industries around the world focused on waste characterization and management activities [11] [12] [13].…”

Kampala Industrial and Business Park (KIBP) features as the premier and the best planned industrial complex in Uganda's history that impacts the inner Murchison Bay of Lake Victoria. The number of operational establishments in the park has raised environmental concerns; air, land and water pollution are significantly magnified by the close proximity of industries. Furthermore, industrial trucks have created unprecedented traffic congestion on Kampala-Jinja highway because the highway design cannot accommodate the traffic. Industries are producing volumetric wastes, and rendering the surrounding areas unacceptable for residential, shopping and recreational purposes as previously proposed in the construction design. This cross-sectional study characterized the wastes being generated in the park and prospected the future generation trend of the wastes. Results indicate that 39 assorted types of wastes are being produced in KIBP. Annually, 3214.8 metric tons of wastes are produced in KIBP and this is prognosticated to triple in the next 5 years with new industries being set up. Chemical analysis revealed that 3% of the wastes currently generated are hazardous; 16% are non-biodegradable; 18% are metallic whereas the residual 63% are putrescible. Recycling of wastes should be encouraged to reduce the volume of wastes generated in KIBP.
