![]() Simulation was done using Aspen Plus and Hysys, for a plant combusting 220,000 tons per annum of MSW at a feed rate of 27 tons of MSW per hour. The design parameters were determined using thermodynamic equations and Peng Robison’s equations of state. A MSW incineration plant was designed based on a mass burn incineration. Chemical composition of the waste was determined by proximate analysis and calculation of the elemental composition followed by determination of the calorific value. Waste data was collected through sampling upon delivery at the landfill. In this paper, the techno-economic assessment of energy recovery from MSW in Kampala city using incineration was done. No research has been conducted towards assessing the potential of energy recovery from the city’s MSW by incineration. This has side effects including environmental contamination, methane gas generation promoting global warming, and labour issues. In Kampala, the annual MSW collection exceeds 350,000 tons which is disposed at the city’s landfill which has exceeded its capacity. Annually, 1.9 billion tons of MSW is generated with each person contributing 218 kg of MSW to this projected grand total. ![]() With the increasing urbanization, global generation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is expected to increase to 3.4 billion tons by 2050. ![]()
