Solid waste Testing- ETP Sludge/STP Sludge/MSW

The energy from waste can be directly derived. Waste can be converted into biogas, syngas or heat. The innovative techniques in changing heat and energy from waste can be physical, thermal or biological. The energy created from waste, consolidated heat and power is a decent alternative for expanding overall energy efficiency in developed country like United States and United Kingdom. A common technique for management of waste is waste to energy recovery. One of alternative way of energy generation from waste which is the change of non-recyclable waste materials into useable heat power or fuel through different techniques including gasification, pyrolization, anaerobic digestion, combustion and landfill gas (LFG) recovery

Proximate analysis is important in evaluating the combustion properties of waste or waste derived fuel. The fractions of greatest interest are: moisture content, ash, volatile matter and fixed carbon

Moisture adds weight to the waste fuel without increasing its heating value and the evaporation of water reduces the heat released from the fuel. Ash also adds weight without releasing any heat during combustion.

Volatile matter is that portion of the waste that is converted to gas before and during combustion and fixed carbon represents the carbon remaining on the surface of grates as char. High proportion of fixed carbon requires longer retention time to achieve complete combustion.
