Abstract
Waste-to-energy (WtE) or energy-from-waste (EfW) is the process of generating electricity and/or heat from the treatment of waste. Most WtE processes generate electricity and/or heat directly through waste combustion. According to the waste management hierarchy this method is better than disposal but worse than recycling. Many large cities use this method because it reduces the waste problems. In this paper, a cost-effectiveness model for Mixed Municipal Waste Incinerators is developed for a town, dealing with waste management methods problems for decades. Model development begins with the development of a cause-and-effect model, better known as the Ishikawa diagram. The paper develops mathematical dependences for: the dependence of specific investments on the capacity; the dependence of investment price on the capacity; the dependence of investment price on the capacity; the dependence of operating and maintenance costs on the capacity and the dependence of total plant efficiency on the capacity.
