Waste become a problem that need special attention and handling in Bandung district. Their handling with open dumping method is not relevant anymore and give many problems. Waste to energy plant can be an alternative way to solve waste problem in Bandung district. Waste to energy plant consist of an incenerator that burning waste and use the heat of waste burning process to produce steam to generate electric power by steam power generation cycle. Waste to energy plant is equiped with flue gas control unit like scrubber and cyclone to reduce environmental effect, especially acid gas effect from SO2 and HCL. This waste to energy plant is planed to build in Babakan Ciparay, Bandung district, at TPA Babakan exactly. The waste to energy plant utilize waste from this TPA as fuel. So survey of waste from TPA Babakan is needed to evaluate waste composition and waste characteristic that will be used as PLTSa fuel. Waste characteristic such as moisture content, heating value, and chemical composition affect design of furnace, boiler, condensor, and acid gas and particulate control unit. Design of that components is done by some software such as Firecad, HTRI, HYSIS, and Fluent. Design was done only in thermodynamics aspect and were calculated for its general dimension, structural design and dimension were not done. Design is done to get general dimensions and operation condition of that components. Design result by each software is evaluated and iterated each aother in order that operation condition each component fit each others. Finally, PLTSa’s design can handle 30-50 ton of wastes approximately. Water management and solid waste like ash and mineral salt have to be considered for its proper handling, so PLTSa don’t cause another waste problem anymore.
