Reza Alayi, H. Rouhi
Abstract
Due to the growing population of urban waste production and pollution has increased. On the other hand, have also been considered due to the excessive consumption of fossil fuels, environmental issues. In addition, in crowded cities, the production of urban waste is due a major risk for environmental issues. Proper use of municipal waste can reduce pollution and provide some of the energy load. In this research, chemical analysis of urban waste related to Hamedan has been done, estimated the heating value of urban waste incineration. In this way, the approximate amount of energy obtained can be obtained before designing the system. After estimating the heating value of urban waste from the constituent materials, was designed the biomass power plant, then were obtained the amounts of electricity generated by biomass power plants, as well as the amount of investment and income from the sale of electricity. One of the most important results is the maximum electrical energy production of 3559.08 MW/month, that's for this month the income of selling is 320317 $.
