[B][COLOR="Red"]ENERGY RECOVERY AND ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION FROM MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE[/COLOR][/B]

ABSTRACT
The enormous increase in the quantum and diversity of waste materials generated by anthropogenic human activity and their potentially harmful effects on the general environment and public health, have led to an increasing awareness, world-wide. Therefore, and urgent need to adopt scientific methods for safe disposal of waste and recovered valuable energy from it. There is and obvious need to minimize the generation of wastes and to reuse and recycle them, the technologies for recovery of energy from wastes can play a vital role in mitigating the problems.
Besides recovery of substantial energy, these technologies can led to a substantial reduction in the overall waste quantities requiring final disposal, which can be better managed for safe disposal in a controlled manner while meeting the pollution control standards.
This paper gives some basic information about Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and its utilization for Energy Recovery, besides a method for enough estimation of power generation potential from MSW through the main conversion process. It is also shown that, in general, 100 tones of MSW can generate about 1.0-1.5 MW power.
