Abstract

The design study concerns the creation of a waste-to-energy conversion plant in the City of Muntinlupa to lessen the amount of non-recyclable municipal solid wastes that ends up in the landfill. Using the developed criteria, the cluster that can be used are the biodegradable and residual waste portions of the municipal solid wastes. In consideration of the processes for power generation, Rankine cycle was seen as the best alternative powerplant type to use the biogas and synthetic gas produced from the biodigester and pyrolyzer, respectively. The powerplant project has a capacity of 8.6 MW, a return of investment of 12%, an internal rate of return of 19%, and a payback period of 5 years.
