SOLID WASTE CHARACTERIZATION AND QUANTIFICATION OF BAHIR DAR CITY June 2010<br />
There are few (6) industries in the <strong>city</strong> at present. But a lot more are expected to be established.<br />
For this particular task almost all the available industries at present shall be analyzed <strong>for</strong> their<br />
<strong>waste</strong> <strong>quantification</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>characterization</strong>. Hence 6 industries will be surveyed.<br />
3.3 Moisture content <strong>and</strong> calorific value determination<br />
The moisture content <strong>and</strong> calorific value determination are supposed to be done at Bahir Dar<br />
University laboratory. 14 lists <strong>of</strong> materials have been identified <strong>for</strong> the <strong>quantification</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>characterization</strong> <strong>of</strong> Bahir Dar <strong>city</strong> <strong>solid</strong> <strong>waste</strong>. It is understood that moisture content shall be<br />
determined <strong>for</strong> most <strong>of</strong> these materials. Total <strong>of</strong> 120 samples are taken <strong>for</strong> moisture content<br />
determination. Samples are collected immediately during analysis <strong>and</strong> properly sealed <strong>and</strong><br />
aggregated with the main data.<br />
Since the calorific value measuring device was out <strong>of</strong> function, it was not possible to determine the<br />
calorific values <strong>of</strong> the samples.<br />
