Energy recovery from Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) generated in New Delhi is studied. The two options available viz., recovery of Biogas and energy due to the firing of MSW as fuel are reviewed. Continuous recovery of energy from the city’s MSW through Biogas needs a lot of planning with respect to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of landfills. The yield of Biogas with respect...

This paper assesses the technical and economic feasibility of a novel idea: Reducing the emission of carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas contributing to global warming, by combusting solid wastes with industrial oxygen mixed with recirculated flue gas. The process gas, consisting mosdy of carbon dioxide, would be compressed and used in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects. By using municipal and...

Electric Power Generation Potential of Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) in Abuja, the capital city Nigeria has been studied this work. A pilot study on waste generation activities Galadimawa District Abuja was carried out and results were applied to metropolis as a whole due observed similarities demographics other Districts metropolis. The presently an annual MSW rate 973,557 tons with per capita ...

Working at thermophilic conditions instead of mesophilic, and also the addition of a co-substrate, are both the ways to intend to improve the anaerobic digestion of the source-collected organic fraction of municipal solid wastes (SC-OFMSW). Addition of sewage treatment plant fat, oil and grease wastes (STP-FOGW), that are nowadays sent to landfill, would represent an opportunity to recover a wa...

The management of waste with minimum cost and the environmental burden has recently gained importance in circular economy. In this study, alternatives for transportation wastes by rail road were compared terms cost, environment personnel requirement benchmarks using multi-criteria decision-making software - Right Choice (2.0). is shown Alternative 1, while represented 2 (by loading waste-carryi...

dental offices produce a variety of dangerous wastes during normal business day. most of these waste are non-hazardous that can be managed as household wastes; however, some component are hazardous and can pose a risk to human and the environment if discarded to municipal solid wastes. these types of wastes must be managed separately. therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the component...

This work reports some reflections about the European and Italian regulation on sewage sludge. In Europe, the progressive augment of the production of sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plants has recently led to a growing attention about management of this type of solid matrix. European Directives and Italian guidelines stimulated reuse of sewage sludge on agricultural soils or in comp...
