Three municipal solid waste gasification technologies analysis for electrical energy generation in Brazil.

In Brazil, in 2016, 196,050 tonnes day of municipal solid waste (MSW) were collected, which means a waste generation of 1.035 kg per capita per day. Only 59.

Evaluation of two different alternatives of energy recovery from municipal solid waste in Brazil.

Brazil has a large population with a high waste generation. The municipal solid waste (MSW) generated is deposited mainly in landfills. However, a considerable fraction of the waste is still improperly disposed of in dumpsters.

Electricity production from municipal solid waste in Brazil.

Brazil has an increasing production of municipal solid waste that, allied to the current waste management system, makes the search for alternatives of energy recovery essential. Thus, this work aims to study the incineration of municipal solid waste and the electricity production through steam cycles evaluating the influence of municipal solid waste composition. Several scenarios were studied, in which it was assumed that some fractions of municipal solid waste were removed previously.
