ABSTRACT
Knowing the physical and chemical features of solid wastes are significant parameters
for the determination of the waste category and design of proper disposal method. In this
study the solid waste management system at Gamby hospital is assessed. The
measurement of the generation rate of wastes has been done for two random days of a
week for three consecutive weeks and the average amount of the waste generated per day
was 15kg. The solid waste types fall in to the category of food (21.8%), paper (19.13%),
plastics (9.53%), garden trimming (11.47%), textiles (5.87%), cardboard (15%) and
others (17.2%) by mass. The wastes proximate analysis (moisture content, ash content,
fixed carbon and volatile matter) and ultimate analysis (elemental analysis and energy
value) of the solid wastes were investigated. Finally, design of incinerator was done as it
is the better management system for medical wastes based on the waste type and waste
load.
Key word: solid waste, proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, energy content.

CHAPTER ONE
1. Introduction
1.1. Background
Wastes are the material that are not needed and are not usable economically with further
processing. It may be in the form of solid, liquid, and gas. They originate from the human
activities such as agriculture, industry, domestic activities etc. If these wastes remain
untreated, it leads to air, water, soil or solid waste pollution. Hence, waste management is
very essential [3].
Solid waste is defined as the generation of undesirable object or particles arising from
animal and human activities that are discarded as unwanted or useless.
The major sources of health care waste are hospitals, medical clinics, dispensaries,
healthcare camps, medical and biomedical laboratories, medical research centers,
mortuary and autopsy centers, animal research and hospitals, blood banks and so on. Poor
healthcare waste management results in adverse effects on the environment and the
public health.
Solid waste generation and characterization are some of the most important parameters
which affect environmental sustainability [7].

waste management practices has been identified as essential for economic development in
low- income countries in particular.

An efficient system for solid waste management requires a good knowledge of the
characterization of wastes to be disposed. Physical features of solid wastes are significant
parameters for the selection and functioning of collection and transportation equipment,
energy transformation, studies related to recoverable matter, as well as selection and
design of proper disposal method. For this reason, physical features of solid wastes, such
as moisture content , calorific value (heating), and composition, should be well known for
their management through suitable methods [9].

2. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1. Solid Waste
Knowledge of the source and types of solid waste, along with data on the composition and
rate of generation, is basic to the design and operation of the functional elements
associated with the management of solid waste [2].
The sources of solid wastes are residential, commercial, institutional, construction and
demolish, municipal services, industrial, treatment plants sites and agricultural wastes.
Various industrial plants generate wastes, which are mainly hazardous wastes during their
raw material preparation, production or transportation processes. The waste generated
from such sources is not only hazardous but also inorganic requiring special treatment
before final disposal [2].
Composition is the term used to describe the individual components that make up a solid
waste stream and their relative distribution, usually based on percent by weight. Studying
the composition of solid waste categories at a particular place, realizes the environmental
potential the waste bears on integrating technologies like recycling and resource recovery
in the solid waste management systems [5].
Solid waste generation rate: refers to the “amount of waste disposed during a given period
of time and the quantification of it involves different methods: by measurement at the
point of generation, through use of vehicle survey and by examination of records at the
disposal facility. [1].

B Final
An accurate knowledge of quantity and rate of solid waste generation in a given area is
essential for preparation and implementation of appropriate MSWM. Because it provides
information on human, financial and equipment resources required for collection and
transportation of waste, to enact appropriate laws on waste reduction, and establish
current and future needs for solid waste disposal sites [1].
Comprise about 13% of the solid waste that result from various residential areas,
companies and small industries. These wastes comprise mixture of heterogeneous paper,
carton, fire wastes, glasses, rubber, textile, food waste and plastics [1].
It includes rocks and dusts resulting from the processes of drilling, mining, treatment and
extraction of different economic metals. The flow of acidic water and dissolution of some
toxic elements from mining waste can result into pollution of water sources and soil [5].
It is waste of agricultural crops and animal & chicken farms. Due to excessive use of
chemical fertilizers and concentration of breeding of cattle and chicken in confined areas,
thus agricultural waste became environmental problem, the process of soil erosion and
organic matter from fields have negative impact on environment, especially running
water cut pollution by pesticides and chemical fertilizers [5].
Solid industrial wastes are generally understood to be those wastes which arise from
industrial process and legal definition may include all wastes produced on industrial
premises, whether those wastes are produced from a manufacturing process or not [5].

B Final
According to the study by WHO (2011), Waste and by-products cover a diverse range of
materials, as infectious waste, pathological waste, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, genotoxic
waste radioactive waste heavy metals waste:
In most cases the solid waste problem begins with collection. collection involves the
process of picking up of wastes from collection points, loading them in to a vehicle, and
transporting it to processing facilities, transfer stations or disposal site [2].
There are two steps involved in the transfer of waste. Firstly, the transfer of wastes from
smaller collection vehicles to large transports equipment and secondly, the subsequent
transport of the wastes, usually over long distances to the disposal site. Generally, a
properly design transfer and transportation system highly reduces cost of collection [2].
Recycling/ reuse is the removal or diversion of material from solid waste discarded as
useless and the use of material for the same purpose as was originally designed for, for

Energy Content
The energy content of the components of waste can be determined by calculation using
elemental composition. It is important for feasibility study of municipal solid waste for
incineration plan based on their energy value. An evaluation of the potential of the waste
material for use as a fuel in the incinerator requires the determination of its heating value,
expressed as kilo joules/ kilo grams (kJ/kg). The heating values are important in the
evaluation of incineration process as a means of energy recovery or disposal [4].

3.2. Methods
Generally, the study comprises survey research through interview with waste collectors
and other workers of the hospital on where and when those solid wastes are disposed. A
preliminary survey includes identifying solid waste products composition (type), quantity,
collection system and way of disposal before solid waste collection and characterization.
Three different areas were selected before the collection of wastes to get the potential to
represent different kind of solid waste. Three sacks were set to collect the fresh solid
waste in the chosen areas one day before collection. This was done in order to analyze
waste generation rate and waste composition more precisely. all solid waste collectors
were informed how and when the waste is collected. The wastes were collected in two
randomly selected days for three consecutive weeks. Monday and Thursday in the first
week, Wednesday and Sunday in the second week and finally, Tuesday and Friday for the
third week. The days were selected to take average and smooth the values.

The fresh solid wastes in the site were sorted and put in to categories as food, paper,
plastic, textile, card board, garden trimming, and other waste through manual sorting.
Then the sorted fresh wastes (wet basis) were weighed to determine the percentage
distribution of each waste component.
The generation rate was estimated by weighing the sorted wastes by using scaling mass
balance for each component of wastes for each day and taking average value of them.
Proximate analysis was done to determine the average percentage volatile matter content,
percentage ash content, moisture content and percentage content of fixed carbon of the
wastes.
i. Moisture content
Moisture content was determined by using standard oven dry method. The representative
portion of the samples to be tested were Prepared. 50g of the test sample was determined
and recorded as the “wet mass”. The mass of the container and sample was determined
and the mass of the crucible were subtracted. The samples were dried to constant mass at
105°C in oven. The drying time required to achieve constant mass was different [2].

mass of the furnace heated samples was weighed. Finally, the mass loss was recorded as a
volatile matter of the waste [2].

The percentage fixed carbon (PFC) was computed by subtracting the sum of percentage
volatile matter (PVM), percentage ash content (PAC) and percentage moisture content
(PMC) from total of 100 % composition [2].
This analysis is key to determine the elemental composition (C, N, H, S, O etc.) of the
waste. It was estimated by using the typical element composition values of different types
of solid waste [2].

The energy content of solid waste was determined based on physical composition of waste
and using proximate analysis and elemental analysis [2].

The high moisture content and organic composition of waste may lead to problem of
increased decomposition rates in the area because of the high average daily temperature
and this condition is suitable for the growth of microorganism and causes health
problem. To mitigate these problems much more frequent collection is needed to
remove organic waste before they are able to decompose. Wastes with different
moisture contents have different drying characteristics. Those with higher moisture
content (food 63.8%, other wastes 44.8%, garden trimming 27.6%) require a longer
drying time and much more heat energy, causing a lower temperature in the furnace; and
vice versa. If the moisture content is too high, the furnace temperature will be too low
for combustion, such that auxiliary fuel is needed to raise the furnace temperature and to
ensure normal combustion.
The higher percentage of ash content was referred to quantity of card board 22.5%, paper
18.9% and garden trimming 19.7%. Due to the presence of high ash content of waste
generates small amount of flue gasses during combustion whereas the rest waste (food,
plastic, textile and other wastes) generates high amount of flue gases due to the presence
of small ash content.
Organic and combustible materials such as plastic, card board, textile and paper are the
components with high percentage of volatile matter. Volatile matter is that portion of
the wastes which is converted into the gas phases during the heating process (950°C).
Since plastic wastes has high VM, should be distributed and mixed with other wastes
and not be concentrated in one charge. Loading an incinerator with high VM wastes
meant that the heating values would exceed the designed thermal capacity of the plant.
Also, high combustion temperatures due to high VM would damage the refractory
lining, resulting into excessive emissions. Wastes with high VM would release more
volatile gases at the primary chamber than wastes with low VM.

Fixed carbon is the carbon remaining on surface as charcoal. From comparisons of the
waste type textile have high fixed carbon load. Fixed carbon content analysis contains
the errors and scatters of the other three measurements and is regarded as an
approximate figure.
Ultimate Analysis involves the estimation important chemical elements that makes up
the wastes, namely carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and Sulfur. This estimation was
done according to the typical range data of the elemental composition of wastes. Table

The above results are computation of the composition of waste sample and these values
are compressed in as follows:
C 3.554 24.69
H 1.077 7.44
O 7.577 52.35
N 0.119 0.83
S 0.018 0.13
As per the composition analysis of the majority of the site waste is food 21.8%, and C:
N ratio of the waste is 29.86 from the elemental analysis. Therefore, the waste is a
potential feed stack for an aerobic digestion since the optimum range of C: N ratio from
different literature is 25:1 – 30:1 this one can be say that it is within the optimum rage
from the literatures.
The energy content of the solid waste was determined based on percentage by mass
composition, proximate and ultimate analysis of waste. The waste components energy
values were estimated based on their typical energy content data as follows:
2
B Final
From the above table, the typical energy content is taken from Howard S. Peavy text
book of Environmental engineering and this typical energy is used to estimate the total,
dry basis and specific ash free dry basis energy content of the waste sample. Because the
energy obtained from waste depends on the type of waste (composition) and the
proximate value of waste. From the above table the total energy of the waste is
1334562kj and per unit mass energy content from 15kg is 88970.8kj/kg, dry basis and
ash free dry basis are 129695.04 kj/kg and 164092.2 kj/kg respectively. The energy
content based on elemental analysis is estimated to be 9602.58 kj/kg.
The study reveals that prescribe components of solid waste are more suitable for either
composting or anaerobic digestion, whereas the rest of solid waste components like
paper, plastic and textiles have capacity to generate huge quantity of heat. This means,
thermal treatment such as incineration, Pyrolysis, and gasification is favorable for their
treatment in order to extract energy in terms of heat from them.

B Final
An integrated approach to waste management will have to take into account community-
and regional-specific issues and needs and formulate an integrated and appropriate set of
solutions unique to each context. Solutions, which work for some areas, will be
inappropriate for others. Specific environmental conditions will dictate the
appropriateness of various technologies, and the level of industrialization and technical
knowledge present in the countries and cities will constrain solutions. There are
different management options available, but from the environmental and socio-
economic point of the study area, the following approach is emphasized.
Waste Reduction
Recycling
Recycling of solid waste has been recognized as the “most environmentally sound”
strategy. only second to the preventive strategy of source reduction and reuse. Recycling
of waste serves to transform from the wastes into products of their own genre through
industrial processing. It is environmentally friendly to reuse the wastes instead of adding
them to nature. Options are considered for collected in bulk with limited recovery of
recyclable materials and for materials segregated at source for more extensive recycling
and (in the case of food and garden wastes) composting.
Composting
2
B Final
Incineration
Another option for waste reduction and disposal is incineration. Incineration features
combustion of wastes to transform them into base components, with the generated heat
being trapped for deriving energy. As sorted gases and inert ash are common by-
products. Pollution is caused by varied degrees’ dependent on nature of waste
combusted and incinerator design. Incineration cannot be considered as a disposal
option since following incineration there are still some quantity of ash to be disposed
off, as well as the dispersal of some ash and constituent chemicals into the atmosphere.
As seen from the proximate analysis if incineration applied more than 80% of the waste
can be reduced in weight. This appears to be an extremely attractive option. Above all,
the high financial start up and operational capital required to implement an incineration
facility is the major barrier to the successful adoption.
2
B Final
Disposal of medical waste through incineration process has been widely accepted in the
field of infectious and hazardous waste management with regards to its advantages, which
includes reduction in the quality (infectious state) and quantity (weight and volume) of the
waste, reduction in toxic emission, suitability for all types of waste apart from sharps,
exclusion of the risk of contamination of soil and local ground water and low construction
cost. Waste obtained from hospitals is heterogeneous in nature because they consist of
various degrees of elements in major and minor quantities, some of which are toxic and
extremely infectious if not properly managed. Hence, the need for incineration to
decontaminate the medical waste by subjecting it to thermal destruction process under
controlled operational conditions. The products of combustion are ash residue, water and
carbon dioxide. Incinerator is the unit in which the process occurs [7].

B Final
First, we have to determine the suitable volume of the combustion chamber based on the
waste generated which will be combusted. From general design consideration, the suitable
volume ratio of combustible component to the volume of the chamber is 1:3 ratio [12].
If we plan to combust the solid wastes weekly the amount of waste generated will
be: 15kg/day × 7 days = 105kg of waste
The amount of air needed to combust the waste must be determined to design pipe
diameter of the air inlet pipe. the air requirement for combustion can be calculated from
the chemical equation of the combustion reaction of waste.
The empirical chemical equation of the waste can be derived from the elemental analysis
of waste as follows [2].

4.6.1. Conclusion
Waste reduction and minimization are possible by adopting integrated solid waste
management plan. The average daily solid waste generation rate of Gamby general
hospital was estimated 15Kg/day.
The major composition of the house hold solid waste was food (%21.8), paper (19.3%),
plastic (9.53%), textile (5.87%), garden trimming (11.47%), cardboard (15%) and yard
and other wastes (17.2%).
The estimated ash free dry basis energy content is 164092.2kj/kg. The estimation of the
energy content of municipal solid waste can be practical interest in the design and
operation of the related energy conversion systems. solid waste characterization is
necessary in the design and operation of municipal solid waste-based engineering
application.
4.6.2. Recommendation
We recommend for the future works that, as there were serious data gaps in solid waste
generation. Therefore, it is useful to conduct detailed quantitative surveys for attaining
data accuracy, such as visiting all type of wastes in every day. In addition to that, if
design of incinerator is installed with pollution control scrubber and waste recovery or
waste to energy conversion mechanism. We also recommend that to conduct sampling
across various seasons as solid waste characteristics and composition shows variation.
