Abstract

Solid waste biomass contains a significant amount of carbohydrates and other combustible chemical compounds that have potential as an alternative energy source. In this paper, the synthesis of biomass energy potential assessment from solid waste and the development of a model equation was presented, in order to utilize as assessment tools for the Philippine local government units, most especially the established sanitary landfills and waste-to-energy technologies and facilities that are soon-to-be installed. Data for the said model equation was obtained from various Philippine government agencies, such as the Department of Energy, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and others. In order to accumulate those in the model, numerous concepts are applied, such as parameterization and others. Furthermore, a time-series study is subjected to analysis, in order to forecast of the biomass energy. Moreover, the biomass energy potential from the rest of the Philippine archipelago may be further evaluated with the use of the proposed model equation.

Highlights

Solid municipal waste is a growing problem in the United States and the rest of the world
From the data gathered from various Philippine government agencies, like the population data (Region 1) from Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) [17] and the WACS Data from Environmental Management Bureau-Department of Environment and Natural Resources (EMB-DENR) [16] and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) [18] and others, they are carefully executed, analyzed, and evaluation to the Equation (3)
The solid waste-to-energy potential from the rest of the local government unit (LGU) found in the Philippine archipelago may be further evaluated with the use of the Co Equation

Summary

Introduction

Solid municipal waste is a growing problem in the United States and the rest of the world. The generation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in large countries, the United States, grew very rapidly from almost one and half times. Much of this increase was due to population growth, but the rate of solid waste generation per person. The waste incinerators must be designed to dry the waste as well to burn it. This is accomplished by injecting enough air into the firebox for complete burnout. The incinerators are designed differently depending on whether they are intended for mass burning of the normal mix of municipal wastes, or for incinerating wastes that are separated prior to burning [2]
