| Abstract | Refuse derived fuel (RDF) from municipal solid waste (MSW) has been widely used in energy plants. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of RDF components from the MSW generated in Bangkok, Thailand. The MSW generated profile was observed from 2015 2020 to analyze the composition, proximate, ultimate, and heating values. The combustible categories of MSW were considered as RDF components, namely paper, plastics, food waste, wood/yard waste, textiles, and rubber. The average MSW generated in Bangkok was approximately 13.5% of the total MSW generated in Thailand. The combustible category represented 86.5% of total MSW. The predominant combustible category was food waste (43.1%), followed by plastics (16.6%), and paper (13%). Moisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and ash contents ranged from 0.2 57.5, 74.5 95.2, 3.3 19.4, and 1.5 8.6 wt.%, respectively, depending on the materials. Lower heating values of RDF components ranged from 13.70 32.63 MJ/kg, of which plastics exhibited the highest value. The potential energy produced from RDF components was 513,123.4 x 102 GJ/yr, with approximately 1,847,757,371 kWh/yr converted into electricity. The findings from the research on characteristics of MSW from Bangkok city reveal that it has the potential to be used as an RDF resource in energy plants. |
