A mass-burn incinerator plant has the provision of heat recovery system. It operates with a feed of 400 tons per day of MSW. Natural gas can be used as a supplementary fuel. A plan for source separation is expected to reduce the amount of paper going to the incinerator by 20% which currently is 38% to maintain the required steam production. The heating value of the lost combustibles will have to be compensated by supplementary natural gas supplied at an average cost of Rs 4.6/m3. Neglecting changes in the cost of MSW collection, what price per ton would need to be received for the paper to have a breakeven by the operator. Energy content of Paper = 1,600 KJ/Kg Energy content of Natural gas = 37,300 KJ/m3 A mass-burn incinerator plant has the provision of heat recovery system.
