Abstract | ||||
The main objective of this study is to develop a low cost technology for Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) production from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) which consists of Paper + Card+ Wood+ Plastic+ Textile (Energy Rich Fraction), ( No metal, glass or food waste) using solar heater. To fulfill these objectives a prototype is designed to bio dry the MSW so can reach less water content and higher calorific value. The results of this research have indicated that the solar heater reduced the moisture content from 11.73 % to 2.21 % in 3 to 5 days per batch with average of 6 working hours per day, and have increased the calorific value of the waste from 6174.3cal/g to 7337cal/g. | ||||
