Description
Summary:This study aims to analyze the impact of manual waste sorting on the incinerator facility process at the PLTSa Merah Putih Bantargebang final disposal site. The composition and characteristics of waste entering the facility were analyzed to understand its suitability as incinerator feedstock. The research aimed to compare the potential value of recovered waste through sorting and its utilization as incinerator feedstock. Data collection included both primary and secondary sources, with waste sampling and laboratory testing conducted to determine waste characteristics. Waste composition before and after simulation was compared, revealing reductions in organic waste (20%), metals (80%), glass (48%), and PET (40%), highlighting the effectiveness of waste sorting in managing and minimizing waste streams. Proximate analysis provided insights into the energy potential of the waste, with lower heating values (LHV) calculated showing that sorting ultimately lowers the LHV because of the lower plastic content. Economic evaluations were conducted to compare the potential value of electricity generation and recovered waste value. The findings showed that recovering waste such as PET plastics and glass through sorting yielded higher economic benefits compared to using them as feedstock. The study shows that waste sorting can improve waste recovery and enhance the economic viability of waste management practices
