Answer #1

Ans) Waste to energy (WTE) is the process of generating energy mainly in form of electricity from the treatment of waste. In other words, waste is transformed into fuel source to generate electricity .

Resource recovery is the seperation of certain material from the waste we produce in order to reuse them by transforming them into new material .The main aim of resource recovery is to reduce the amount of waste so that landfill space requirement is also reduced .Plastic, paper , metals and glass are the examples of recource recovery materials

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is one of the country focusing on the energy recovery methods like WTE and resource recovery. In KSA, landfilling is used mostly so it focused on alternatives to reduce waste amount. Three process were developed for WTE which are

a) Mass burn = Whole waste is incinerated

b) Mass burn with recyclng = Segregation of usable material followed by incenration of remainig waste

c) Refused derived fuel (RDF) = Fuel derieved from treatment of waste

KSA produce around 180 MW from incenration of waste and about 100 MW from RDF .
