What is solid waste?

Solid wastes are all the waste arising from human


and animal activities that are normally solid and
that are discarded as useless or unwanted.

Solid waste in Malaysia

An ever - expanding population and high rates of


economic development in Malaysia resulted in the
generation of vast amount of waste.
Malaysia Population: 23.2 million (2000); Male (51.1%);
Female (48.9%).
7,500 t/d or 7.5 mill. kg/d (1994); 2.7 million tons 15,000
t/day (2000) (Average:0.8 kg/p/d; 0.45-1.44 kg/p/d)
Kuala Lumpur 2,325 t/d (> 1.56 kg/p/d) (2000) can fill 88
floors of KLCC in 9 days
Johor Bahru 2,000 tons/day (1995)
Recycling Activity : 2 percent

Municipal wastes also called urban solid


waste, is a waste type that includes
predominantly household waste (domestic
waste) with sometimes the addition of
commercial
wastes
collected
by
a
municipality within a given area.
Industrial wastes those wastes arising
from industrial activities.
Hazardous wastes wastes that pose a
substantial danger immediately or over a
period of time to human, plant or animal life.

Municipal Solid waste

MSW AT LANDFILL

Industrial waste

The major generators of industrial solid


wastes are the thermal power plants
producing coal ash;
The integrated Iron and Steel mills
producing blast furnace slag and steel
melting slag;
Pulp and paper industries producing lime
and fertilizer.
sugar industries generating press mud etc;

Moisture
Definition : The moisture in a sample is expressed as percentage
of the wet weight of the MSW material

Significant
1.
It is useful for estimating heat content, landfill sizing, and transports requirements
2.
It can be expressed either as a % of the wet weight or as a % of the dry weight of the material.
3.
The wet-weight method is more commonly used and is expressed as follows :

M = (w-d)/w X 100
W = initial weight of sample as delivered (kg)
d = weight of sample after drying at 105oC (kg)

Physical Composition of MSW

3. Particle size

The size of the component materials in solid wastes is


important for recovery of material especially with the
mechanical equipment such as trammel screens and
magnetic separator.
Size can be define by several formula Sc l

Field capacity (FC)

Definition : Amount of moisture retained by mixed solids against the force gravity. Field
capacity varies with the degree of pressure applied to the waste and the state of decomposition
of the waste.
This parameter is very critical because (1) aerobic microbial activity is optimized at/or
slightly below the field capacity (2) to predict leachate formation in landfills, compost piles,
or storage piles.

FC =0.6 0.55 (W/[4500 + W])


FC = % of dry weight of waste, W = overburden weight

MSW
Chemical properties of MSW

Chemical properties of MSW is significance in evaluating


processing and recovery options.
For example, feasibility of combustion depends on the chemical
composition of MSW.
MSW can be chemically characterized as SEMIMOIST,
COMBUSTIBLE, and NONCOMBUSTIBLE materials.
If MSW are to be used as FUEL, the four most important
properties to be known are :1.

Biological property of MSW


Biological property of MSW focus on organic fraction. It can be classified as below :1.
Water-soluble constituents, such as sugars, starches, amino acids, and various
organic acids
2.
Hemicellulose, a condensation product of five- and six-carbon sugars
3.
Cellulose, a condensation product of the six-carbon sugar glucose
4.
Fats, oils, and waxes, which are esters of alcohols and long-chain fatty acids
5.
Lignin, a polymeric material containing aromatic rings with groups (-OCH 3), the
exact chemical nature of which is still not known (present in some paper products
such as newsprint and fiberboard)
6.
Lignocellulose, a combination of lignin and cellulose
7.
Proteins, which are composed of chains of amino acids

Biological property is very importance to measure production


of methanol, ethanol and compost. However, biological process
can produce odors problem and generation of flies

1. Waste Generation
It is estimated about 17,000 of waste generated
per day in Peninsular Malaysia in 2002; expected
to reach 30,000 tones per day in 2020;
Estimated about 45% of the waste is made up of
food waste, 24% of plastic, 7% is paper, 6% of
iron and glass and others made of the rest.

Estimation of Solid Waste Quantities:


Load Count (estimated volume & each load of
wastes delivered to landfill, use of average
density data)

Solid waste management


2. Waste handling & storage

The handling and separation of solid wastes at


the source before they are collected is a critical
step in the management of residential solid
waste.
Handling refers to the activities associated with
managing solid wastes until they are placed in
the containers used for their storage (before
collection to dumpsite/recycling centers).

Solid waste management


2. Waste handling & storage
1. Residential area
Residential dwellings and building types can be
classified in various ways, a classification based on
the number of stories is adequate for the purpose
discussing the handling .
Three (3) classifications most often used:
i. low rise under four stories,
ii. medium rise from four to seven stories,
iii. high rise over seven stories.

Solid waste management


2. Waste handling & storage
2. High rise residential
Methods of handling solid wastes involve one or more
of the following:
i.
wastes are picked up by building maintenance
personnel from the various floors and taken to the
basement or service area
ii.
wastes usually bagged, are placed by the tenants in
specially designed vertical chutes, with opening
located on each floor.
iii.
wastes taken to the basement by tenants

Solid waste management


2. Waste handling & storage
3. Commercial area;
In most office and commercial buildings, solid
wastes that accumulated in individual offices or
work locations are collected in relatively large
containers mounted on rollers.
The handling and separation of non- industrial solid
wastes at industrial facilities is the same as for
commercial facilities

What are the purposes of waste


separation at source?

Solid waste management


2. Waste handling &
storage
Storage of solid at site before being collected by

dumping truck.
Factors that must be considered in the onsite
storage of solid wastes include;
1. The effects of storage on the waste components
2. The type of container to be used
3. The container location
4. Public health and aesthetics

Solid waste management


2. Waste handling & storage
Factor no 1: the effects of storage .
An
important consideration in the onsite
storage of waste are the effects of storage
itself on the characteristics of the wastes being
stored.
These effects of storing wastes include;
i.
microbial decomposition
ii. the absorption of fluids
iii. the contamination of waste components

Solid waste management


2. Waste handling & storage
Microbial decomposition
Food and other wastes placed in onsite
storage containers will almost
immediately start to undergo
microbiological decomposition
Flies can start to breed and odorous
compounds can develop.

Solid waste management


2. Waste handling & storage
Absorption of fluids
Because the components that comprise solid wastes
have differing initial moisture contents, re-equilibration
takes place as wastes are stored onsite in containers.
Where mixed wastes are stored together, paper absorb
moisture from food wastes and fresh garden trimmings.

The degree of absorption that takes place depends on


the length of time the wastes are stored until collection.
If wastes are followed to sit for more than a week in
enclosed containers, the moisture will become
distributed throughout the wastes.
If watertight container lids are not used, wastes can also
absorb water from rainfall that enters partially covered
containers.

Solid waste management


2. Waste handling & storage
Contamination of waste components
Serious
effect is the contamination
occurs.
The major waste components may be
contaminated by small amounts of
wastes such as motor oils, household
cleaners and paints,

Solid waste management


2. Waste handling & storage
Factor no 2 : Types of Containers
Depend on:
characteristics of SW to be collected,
e.g. large storage containers for
domestic SW (flats/apartment); large
containers on a roller
(Commercial/Industrial)
Collection frequency
Space available for the placement of
containers

Solid waste management


2. Waste handling & storage
Factor no 3 :Container Locations
side/rear of house, alleys
special enclosures (apartment/condos)
Basement (apts. in foreign countries)/ newer
complexes
Factor no 4: Public Health & Aesthetics
relates to on-time collection to avoid the
spread of diseases by vectors, etc.
must be pleasing to the eye (containers
must be clean, shielded from publics view).

3. Collection of SW
60-80 percent of total SWM costs.
Major problems:
Poor building layouts - e.g. squatters
Road congestion - time cost, leachate,
transport costs.
Old containers used (leaky/ damaged)
Absence of systematic methods
(especially at apartments, markets
with large wst. volume).

Solid waste management


3. Collection of SW
Types of collection systems
1. Hauled Container System (HCS)
Container is hauled to disposal sites, emptied,
and returned to original location or some
other location
Suitable for areas w/ higher waste generation
2. Stationary Container System (SCS)
. the container used to store waste remain at
the point of generation; except when
moved to curb or other location to be
emptied.
. Used for residential/commercial sites.

4. Transfer and Transport of solid waste

The functional element of transfer and


transport refers to the means, facilities,
and appearances used to effect the
transfer of wastes from;

small collection vehicles


larger
vehicles processing centers/disposal
sites.

Solid waste management


4. Transfer and Transport of solid waste
Factors to consider in selection of vehicle;

Waste quantities
Truck body or container capacity
Location of container
Physical characteristics of the collection
routes
Residential, commercial or industrial: HCS for
large buildings (e.g. apt., industries, etc.)
Safety and comfort - to minimize danger to
crews.

Solid waste management


4. Transfer and Transport of solid waste

Transfer station- more common as the


distance of landfill sites becomes greater
Advantages;

better haul roads for collection vehicles


traffic control
fewer truck on the sanitary landfill haul routes
improved landfill operating efficiency
Lower overall haul cost
Material separation/recovery
facilities/recycling

Solid waste management


5. Processing and Treatment of SW
Recycle,
Separation
and
Materials
Recovery Facility (MRF)
MRF
a facility for separating
commingled recyclables by manual or
mechanical means.
Some MRFs are designed to separate
recyclables from mixed MSW.
MRFs
then bale and market the
recovered materials.

Solid waste management


5. Processing and Treatment of SW

Solid waste management


6. Disposal of SW
The only viable method for the long term
handling.
Should only be carried out after;
1.
solid wastes that are collected and are of no
further use;
2.
the residual matter remaining after solid
wastes have been processed;
3.
the residual matter remaining after the
recovery of conversion products and or
energy has been accomplished,

Solid waste management


6. Disposal of SW

Land filling is the method of disposal used most


commonly for municipal wastes, land farming and
deep well injection have been used for industrial
wastes.

Why cant we expand/increase Landfill Sites to


dispose Municipal Solid Wastes ?
i. Land is NOT limitless
ii. Landfill can produce pollution

Modern landfills are well-engineered facilities that are located,


designed, operated, and monitored to ensure compliance with federal
regulations.

Solid waste landfills must be designed to protect the environment


from contaminants which may be present in the solid waste stream.

Solid waste management


6. Disposal of SW

The landfill siting plan which prevents


the siting of landfills in environmentally
sensitive areas
On-site environmental monitoring systems
which
monitor
for
any
sign
of
groundwater contamination and for landfill
gas provide additional safeguards.
In addition, many new landfills collect
potentially harmful landfill gas emissions
and convert the gas into energy.

Solid waste management


7. Incinerator

Burning (MSW) can generate energy while


reducing the amount of waste by up to 90
percent in volume and 75 percent in weight.
To reduce waste volume, local governments or
private operators can implement a controlled
burning
process
called
combustion
or
incineration.
In addition to reducing volume, combustors, when
properly equipped, can convert water into steam
to fuel heating systems or generate electricity.

Solid waste management


7. Incinerator

Over one-fifth of the U.S. MSW incinerators use


refuse derived fuel (RDF).
In contrast to mass burning where the
municipal solid waste is introduced "as is" into
the combustion chamber, RDF facilities are
equipped to recover recyclables (e.g., metals,
cans, glass) first, then shred the combustible
fraction into fluff for incineration.

Solid waste management


7. Incinerator

Burning waste at extremely high temperatures


also destroys chemical compounds and diseasecausing bacteria.
Regular testing ensures that residual ash is nonhazardous before being landfilled.
About ten percent of the total ash formed in the
combustion process is used for beneficial use
such as daily cover in landfills and road
construction.
