Waste to Energy Management for Sustainable Development

Abstract

"The difficulty of managing the proper treatment of the city concrete waste or municipal solid waste (MSW) is one that affects urbanized environment on a regular basis. As more goods and services are used for a high-life standard, the volume of MSW often rises. Less than 35% of the MSW in the United States gets recycled, while the majority is landfilled. New energy technologies offer the opportunity to minimize the rising MSW burden. Waste-to-energy (WTE) methods including gasification, plasma arc gasification, incineration, and pyrolysis can be used to transform MSW into a significant source of energy. Sources can be produced by various WTE technologies and can be used in place of fossil fuels energy resources. It is expected that the aspects of the stability related to different energy and waste treatments can be improved. The work introduces the creation of a model of WTE plant which is based on one the WTE technology, pyrolysis. This work initially needed to remove energy from the waste for which the study of various waste processing technologies has been done and appropriate waste processing technology is selected. The construction process started by selecting the necessary equipment and some challenges were made and changes were made to fix issues that were born during the construction and testing of the power plant model. The result of this work is the production of fuel from waste, which is stored in both gaseous and liquid form by condensation.
