A multi criteria approach for energy recovery from solid municipal waste

Abstract

The paper presented describes an original technique for decision making regarding solidwaste management systems design including the process of choice for its complexity, locationand economic aspects as well as the multi criterion model for energy recovery of waste. Themathematical model is worked out for the process of decision making upon the system andprocess design which makes it to a certain extend a universal solution. The study of theeconomic and environmental aspects of the energy recovery of waste is also provided in thepaper. It includes analysis of the investments' effectiveness based on certain indexes. In thispart again the original formulas are used for calculation and providing the data for decisionmaking upon the expenditures needed.
