Abstract As developing countries, Indonesia had their municipal solid waste (M SW) production increase due to population growth and its production reached 190,000 metric ton/day in 2014. Selection of appropriate technology is necessary to reduce the waste volume primarily and to utilize waste as the energy source because of the calorific value inside. Three thermal based technologies are available for waste to energy (WtE) which are incineration, conventional air gasification, and plasma gasification. Their feasibility was evaluated environmentally and economically. None of them was environmentally feasible due to greater CO 2 emission than the CO 2 emission standard of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, two of which, conventional air gasification and plasma gasification, were economically feasible. © 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

1. Introducti on Municipal solid waste (MSW) is a term usually applied to a heterogeneous collection of wastes produced in urban areas. Generally, urban wastes can be subdivided into two major co mponents: organic and inorganic. The characteristics and quantity of the solid waste generated in a region is a function of the standard of living in the city or country. Wastes generated in developing countries have a large proportion of organic waste, while the wastes in developed countries are more diversified with relatively larger shares of plastics and paper [1]. For instance, USA, as a developed country produce 24 % organic waste, while EU and Japan, respectively, produces 34% and 40 % organic wastes. As developing country,

Indonesia produces 60-70 % o rganic waste [2]. However, the different composition of waste influences the choice of technology and waste management infrastructure. In order to contribute generously to global concerns like the depletion of fossil fuels, the greenhouse gas effect and global warming, the need to innovate and employ unconventional energy sources using available natural or non-natural resources has become crucial for the future [3,4]. Besides reducing energy consumption by understanding of energy-saving [5], one of the concepts is waste utilization in form of waste to energy (WtE) concept where generated energy is in the form o f heat or electricity fro m waste [6]. There are t wo options generally to control the MSW number left for d isposal to landfill wh ich are biological and thermal treat ments . Bio logical treat ment, however, is lower cost for similar waste, but is more difficult to control the bacteria gro wth and needs mo re t ime. Thus, thermal t reatment becomes alternative for the huge volume of wastes [6]. There are three options of thermal based WtE of MSW management system, i.e., incineration, air gasification, and plasma gasification [7,8,9]. Basically, incineration is chemical reaction of o xygen (oxidation) with a combustible material. During incinerat ion, the flue gases produced represented the available fuel energy as heat [8]. Gasification, in part icular, is the conversion of solid waste to fuel or syngas through gas forming reactions [10]. The result is not a hot flue gas as in the conventional direct combustion of wastes but a hot fuel gas (syngas), containing large amounts of not completely o xidized products that have a calorific value [11,12]. The organic content of the waste is converted main ly to carbon mono xide, hydrogen, and lower amounts of methane [ 6,8]. On the other hand, through plasma gasification p rocess, the organic fraction is converted into syngas and the inorganic fraction is vitrified into a non-leachable glass-like slag that can be safely disposed of or even reused as construction material after cooling [12,13]. Since the uniqueness of Indonesia’s MSW, technological evaluation becomes crucial stage before establishing the real WtE plant. On average, Indonesian generates 0.76 kg/day of solid waste. Thus, with total population of 253 million in 2014, Indonesia would generate around 190,000 ton/day of MSW which is ad min istratively d istributed into 34 provinces and more than 465 municipalities [1]. MSW management is responsibility by municipality (local government). However, MSW management focuses largely on waste collection, treatment (co mposting) and disposal. Thus, most local authorities prefer open dumping, creating a despondent situation in the landfill site. Th is way is the easiest but has many d isadvantages for health, safety, and environmental threats, such as spreading of disease & foul odors, causing slide down, contaminate the ground water, etc [1]. Considering these facts, thermal based WtE of M SW manage ment system should be considered by local government in Indonesia. In this study, we chose Piyungan landfill (waste disposal facility) in Yogyakarta Province as a case study. 2. Methods There are three steps to be executed for thermal based WtE of MSW management system, which are: 1). characterizing the waste chemically, 2). setting the process flow diagram, and 3). studying the feasibility of the process economically and environmentally. The data related to the composition such as garden waste, food waste, etc. were supplied by the Office of Public Work, Housing and Energy-M ineral Resources of Yogyakarta. Characterizing the waste chemically means the mixed organic and inorganic waste were represented by one single chemical formu la to simp lify the calcula tion of mass balance and energy balance. The moisture content and the weight percentage of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), o xygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulphur (S), and ash was referred to the prev ious study [14,15]. The sum of specific element mass of all kinds of waste was then converted into mole to gain the mole rat io among all elements. The mole ratio would be the basis to define the index o f each element in a single chemical formula of waste (CxHy OzNaSb ).

The process flow diagram to help calculate mass and heat balance is basically consisted of three units . Those are the waste reduction thermally, the effluent gas cleaning system, and the electricity generation unit. The necessary cleaning system is due to the presence of acid gas. The clean ing would choose th e use of basic solution to absorb the acid gas. The electricity generation unit could have either both steam turbine generator (STG) and gas turbine generator (GTG) existed together or only one of which. Feasibility study to judge if the process was economically feasible began fro m calculat ing CAPEX, OPEX and Working Capital by referring to Turton [16], net power p roduced, and the annual inco me fro m the electricity sales. Afterwards, it was continued to the profit calcu lation before ended with the economic parameter calculat ion. The calculation involved two currencies which are US Dollar and Indonesia n Rupiah (IDR) actually, but will be presented only in the latter by assuming that 1 USD was similar to IDR 14,000.00. Meanwhile, the environmental feasibility study would measure the number of CO2 emission. 3. Results and Discussion Table 1 shows chemical co mposition of MSW in Piyungan Landfill, Yogyakarta. Based on the calculation of potential calorific value, it is clearly seen that the potential calorific value of the mixed waste was 4,730 kkal/kg, and it is relatively similar to the sub-bituminuous coal. The weight of moisture presented is almost on 1:1 rat io with the dry mas s of the waste. Based on the elemental analysis to the waste, the chemical formula of mixed organic and inorganic waste is C502.91 H2038.48O878.78N20.37 S. Table 1.

Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show proposed process flow diagram of incineration unit, conventional air gasification unit, and plasma gasification unit. The incineration process used moving grate incinerator (I -101) before followed by the cooling of the flue gas through superheated steam generation in E-101. The cool flue gas was cleaned in the packed scrubber column (C-101) (see Fig 1). The process flow diagram of air and plasma gasificat ion are all the same (see Fig 2). What makes the m difference only on the type of gasifier used and the syngas composition due to capability to handle high moisture content [8]. The conventional gasifier would need the heat energy of syngas to maintain the operation temperature. The air entering gasifier was also heated by the syngas before it was entering the gasifier. On the other hand, plasma gasifier partially need the electricity produced to support plasma torch generating plasma. The process unit feasibility was assessed based on its ability to gen erate electricity and its environmental impact after electricity generation. Table 2 shows performance measurement and

environmental assessment of process unit for MSW treatment with the capacity of 480 metric ton/day. Based on Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia’s Regulation No. 19 Year 2013, the electricity generated fro m bio mass or renewable resources using either gasificat ion or incineration were priced at IDR 1,450.00 per kWh and it would be bought by National Electricity Co mpany (PT. PLN). The side products of the power produced are CO2, NOx, and SOx emission. Based on the standard of EPA for “Carbon Pollution Standard for New Power Plant”, the standard for CO 2 equivalent emission is 1,400 lbs/MWh (0.6364 kg/kWh). Therefore, none of three process units is environmentally feasible. 6 21

Table 3 shows economic analysis paramaters for the proposed MSW treatment. Fro m this table, we may see that only two out of three process units are feasible which are both gasification processes. Incineration is considerably not feasible because of the loss if it operates. Th at’s why the economic parameters don’t need to be calculated further. For both gasification processes, all parameters stand in a good value. When we look at IRR (internal rate of return), it is interesting because it is above the MARR (Minimu m Attractive Rate of Return) wh ich is usually between 13 – 18% [16]. Afterward, Weighted Objectives (WO) method was used to select suitable technology (Table 4). T able 2.

This WO method used weighting factor to show the importance of each parameter. Net power produced has the lowest weighting factor because the primary goal is how to reduce the MSW volu me so that Piyungan Landfill doesn’t need area expansion. Social involvement is a non -technical parameter to accommodate the waste pickers who had lived for several years from picking and reselling useful MSW. The scoring referred to the latest condition in Indonesia. Interpretation of the scoring is the closer the total score to 10, the better the performance of the technology for related parameter. We can see that air gasification is the most feasible to be applied recently although plasma gasificat ion has similar score in case of net power produced, economic feasibility, and environmental feasibility.

4. Conclusions The planning of using thermal-based process in waste management system in Indonesia could promise good economic feasibility. Air and plasma gasification would be able to consume MSW for then producing electricity to get profit. As the benefit, the waste disposal facilities don't need area expansion.
