Introduction
MSW generated
from human being daily activities. It was keep increasing resulted from the
increase of population, wealth and changing of lifestyle. This is a side effect
of Urbanization or something that we have scarified in pursuing “DEVELOPMENT”.
Currently,
Malaysia is adopting Landfill method in treating MSW. All the MSW was gathered
at a specific dedicated location and landfilled. As per the guidelines,
landfill area shall be properly selected which mean far from underground water
stream to minimize the possibility of polluting our water source. Further to
that, it shall be constructed with proper liner to avoid leakage of Leachate
Water (water generated from waste) into surrounding soil or water stream.
Since MSW
keep increasing every day, accumulated landfill area will also keep expanding.
Despite the environmental issue, the scarcity of land had becoming a challenge
to many local authorities whereas new waste is increasing but existing landfill
was full. Overloading the landfill may cause additional pressure to the liner
and puncture it allowing leachate water to seep into underground soil. Too much
overloading of landfill may cause landslide as well. This has been happen in
some country but fortunately, it had yet to happen in Malaysia.
Due to the
above landfill issue, most of the developed countries had adopted MSW WtE technology
in treating increasing MSW. With this technology, the landfill lifespan can be
extended more than 6 times which mean if landfill was designed for 5 years
originally can last for at least 30years after adopting WtE technology.
WtE is one of
the thermal decomposition methods in treating municipal solid waste. At 850 – 1000oC,
waste gone through chemical reaction and oxidized at the same time releasing
heat while left unburned residual as ashes. Heat released was then used for
power generation.
The objective
of this talk is to provide some in sight view of Waste to Energy and discuss
about its Pros.& Cons. from technical aspect.
