The value of energy released as shown in table 2 shows that the value obtained is about 12MJ/Kg.
The energy value was obtained using
the bomb calorimeter
this is the energy containing in municipal solid waste in dry basis.
In this case the energy of 1kg municipal solid waste is equivalent to energy of 1.60 kg of net municipal solid waste.
This is because 60% of moisture is taken out during bomb calorimetry.
The moisture of 0.60 kg requires 1.411MJ/kg to dry municipal solid waste.
This energy ultimately should be obtained from 12MJ/kg.
The balance of 10.6 MJ/kg is the energy that one would recover per kg of dry municipal solid waste from the municipal solid waste energy conversion.
For the case studied, the total waste generated is about 43772 tons of waste per year.
This is equivalent to energy equivalent to 128.9 GWh.
