Abstract
Municipal solids wastes have become a major problem in several cities in developing countries. Waste management by sorting, recycling, reusing does not necessarily reduce the volume of waste significantly. Therefore, some technologies such as incineration and gasification are very interesting to study along with their potential to produce electricity. The study was conducted by simulation where the waste data was obtained experimentally. Financial analysis was done to calculate the initial cost, maintenance and operational cost, total revenue, internal rate of return, payback period, net presence value, and benefit/cost ratio. The results of the study show that gasification technology was more feasible compared to incineration technology. In a 5 MW electricity capacity, there were several scenarios that need to be implemented so that the electric power plant from municipal solid wastes becomes feasible.
