The article proposes a solar installation for thermal processing of municipal solid waste and presents a method of technical and economic analysis of systems for processing municipal solid waste based on solar energy. The object of the research is a solar installation for thermal processing of municipal solid waste. The analysis of the heat balance of the developed solar installation was compiled and carried out, and the energy requirement for thermal processing of municipal solid waste was determined. The work uses the methods of the theory of heat and mass transfer and body balances of heat power and solar installations. The created solar installation for anaerobic fermentation of solid waste to obtain landfill gas and bio fertilizers has been investigated. Balance methods of numerical and experimental studies of anaerobic fermentation of solid waste were used to analyze the results. A calculation has been made showing the energy efficiency of a solar installation for the processing of municipal solid waste using solar energy. Based on the research carried out, it was found that at an average heating temperature of 50-55 °C, 200-250 m3 of landfill gas was obtained from one ton of household waste.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
