The bulk density of the waste is approximately 405±10 kg/m3
with available 50±0.2% of moisture and 10±0.8% of ash contents.
Dueto very high available moisture content and high biodegradable
components the calorific value of the waste is measured as low as
6±0.1 MJ/kg. Since, the expected range should be between 13 and
18.5 MJ/kg, theMSWfrom On-Nuch station cannot be burnt directly
for energy recovery through incineration facilities.
