Download Mini PIN (64 Kb PDF) May-2007

Earliest project start date: By 2007
Expected first year of CER delivery: 2009
Project lifetime: 20 years

The Municipality#1 is the public organization which has the legal responsibilities to collect, handle, transport and dispose of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) which is generated within the municipal area. At present, MSW generated in the Municipality#1 area, approximately 150 ton per day, is disposed by open-dump method, which causes uncontrolled methane (CH₄) gas emission to the atmosphere.

To avoid the GHG emission, and to promote waste recycling with the utilization of waste to energy, Municipality#1 shall construct and operate the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Treatment Plant, 150-200 ton/day capacity. Approximately 150 ton/day of MSW shall be fed to the plant, which uses heat treatment process together with sorting & recycling process for producing high biomass content Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF with more than 95% biomass content).

RDF produced from MSW treatment process shall be used to generate electricity using a thermal-steam power plant, which is expected to generate 1.5 MW-net of power or 12,000 MWh-net per year of energy to be exported to the grid under the Very Small Power Producer (VSPP) scheme.

Due to the heat treatment process used, the selected treatment system is suitable to handle the MSW which contains high content of organic matters, and is also able to treat solid sludge waste from the municipal wastewater treatment plant and from hospital waste.
