Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the current municipal solid waste (MSW) management in Rasht City, Guilan Province, Iran, followed by evaluating the potential for waste-to-energy. The data of different MSW functional elements were collected from previous works, available reports, interviews and meetings with specialists in the field. About 800 tons MSWs are generated in Rasht per day, of those, over 75% are organic wastes followed by paper and cardboard comprising 5.9%. The daily theoretical energy contained in the city MSWs was estimated to be over 591.62 megawatt hour (MWh, over 215942.54 MWh per year). Almost 500 tons of daily MSWs are directly transferred to Saravan as the biggest landfill in north of Iran with an area of about 30 ha, while the remaining portion is treated in the Guilan composting plant. Landfill mining calculations showed that we could recycle about 3008947, 36793, 61443 and 18366  tons of plastics, textile, wood and  rubbers collected from Saravan landfill respectively. A simple assessment of waste-to-energy potentials from organic wastes using operational conversion coefficients revealed that by employing the combination of waste-to-energy and gas turbine technology, an estimated energy of 227.668 MWh can be produced from the Rasht daily food wastes. Although MSW management in Rasht  has been improved over the last decade owing to the establishment of waste recycling and composting organization, however it is still far from the standard situation due to lack of comprehensive waste management planning, financial resources and infrastructures

废物产生、管理和废物发电潜力的现状概述(案例研究:伊朗拉什特市)
本文概述了伊朗吉兰省拉什特市目前的城市固体废物(MSW)管理情况,然后评估了废物转化为能源的潜力。不同的城市固体废物功能元素的数据收集自以前的工作,现有的报告,采访和会议的专家在该领域。拉什特每天产生约800吨生活垃圾,其中有机废物占75%以上,其次是纸和纸板,占5.9%。据估计,城市生活垃圾所含的每日理论能量超过591.62兆瓦时(兆瓦时,每年超过215942.54兆瓦时)。每天有近500吨的生活垃圾被直接转移到萨拉万,这是伊朗北部最大的垃圾填埋场,占地约30公顷,而其余部分则在圭兰堆肥厂进行处理。垃圾填埋场采矿计算表明,我们可以分别回收约3008947吨、36793吨、61443吨和18366吨从Saravan垃圾填埋场收集的塑料、纺织品、木材和橡胶。利用操作转换系数对有机废物废物转化为能源的潜力进行了简单评估,结果表明,通过将废物转化为能源和燃气轮机技术相结合,Rasht每天的食物废物可产生约227.668兆瓦时的能源。虽然在过去的十年里,由于废物回收和堆肥组织的建立,Rasht的MSW管理得到了改善,但由于缺乏全面的废物管理规划,财政资源和基础设施,它仍然与标准状况相距甚远
