Title : Low Cost Technology For Solid Recovered Fuel Production from Municipal Solid Waste
Faculty: Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University

The main objective of this study is to develop low cost technology for Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) production from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) using solar energy. SRF is the solid fuel prepared (processed, homogenized and upgraded to a quality that can be traded amongst producers and users) from non-hazardous waste to be utilized for energy recovery in incineration or co-incineration plants and meeting the classification and specification requirements laid down in CEN/TS 15,359 (Dunnua et al., 2012 ).
To fulfill the objectives of this study a prototype was designed to measure the initial and final MSW water content and calorific value . The prototype consists of the following components : solar panel, air inlet, main waste drums equipped with inlet and outlet loading and out loading ports, air outlet, gear box.
Homogeneous MSW sample of variable weight ranging from 50Kg to 150 Kg is loaded into the main waste drum for various time periods ranging from 2 to 8 hours. During this waste loading time the following variables are measured : air flow, ambient temperature, air flow temperature in and out air moisture content .
The MSW composition between initial and final water content and calorific value .
The initial results of this research have indicated that the solar energy successfully reduced the MSW water content significantly in a short period of time and increased the calorific value of the waste.
It is expected that this research will lead to better understanding of the relationship between MSW moisture content and energy input which greatly influences the final calorific value of the SRF. Additionally the research determines the optimum solar energy input which increases the calorific value of SRF .
