Municipal Solid Waste Management and Waste to

Energy Plant

Municipal solid waste can be utilized to generate electricity. It can

be produced by burning "municipal solid waste" (MSW) as a fuel.

MSW power plants, also called waste to energy (WTE) plants, are

designed to dispose of MSW and to produce electricity as a

byproduct of the incinerator operation. The term MSW describes

the garbage generated by households and apartments, commercial

establishments, industries and institutions. MSW consists of everyday

items such as product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing,

bottles, food scraps, newspapers, appliances, paint and batteries. It

does not include medical, commercial and industrial hazardous or

radioactive wastes, which must be treated separately.

Burning MSW can generate energy while reducing the volume of

waste by up to 90 percent, an environmental benefit. Ash disposal

and the air polluting emissions from plant combustion operations

are the primary environmental impact control issues.
