Estimation of Lower Heating Value (LHV) of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Being Brought into C Incinerator Using Multiple Regression Analysis

The main purpose of the present study was to establish a quicker and cheaper model for predicting the LHV of MSW based on its wet physical composition being brought into C Incinerator. The one regression model was developed to correlate the energy content with variables from physical composition based on a wet matter. The performance of this model for MSW of the C Incinerator was superior to that of equations developed on a dry matter basis by other researchers for estimating energy content. The applicability of this model at the other 4 incinerators showed also an acceptable precision level.
