4. RESULT
ENERGY POTENTIAL OF WASTE AT DELHI
E = P*e/1000
Where E is the estimated potential of total energy /day in MJ
P is the population of Delhi
e is the energy potential per capita in kJ
With the samples collected it would be as :-
E= 1,70,00,000*1000/1000 = 1,70,00,000MJ/day
Three samples were taken as we see from these samples that the collection of different components of the waste
varies on daily basis from same apartment as well as from different apartments. We may conclude that the waste
content is neither fixed for individual house nor for entire collection of society on per day basis.
5. CONCLUSIONS
A good amount of energy contained in the biodegradable content of waste of Delhi can be utilized for heat
energy recovery or for power generation purpose by utilizing different method of WTE application. The major
bottle neck is the poor quality of solid waste reaching to the dumping sites. Out of various methods, incineration
