Abstract: Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) disposal through landfill method have become less efficient nowadays because of the limited landfill sites, high land price and also bad impact towards environment and society. There is a need to find efficient alternative in dealing with the MSW generation that is growing rapidly parallel with the population growth. MSW utilization for energy recovery is the best solution in order to dispose MSW in an efficient way since it can reduce the volume of the MSW while provides energy to generate electricity. Currently, there are a few technologies that are being practiced worldwide including incineration, pyrolysis and gasification. In this study, MSW collected from Pulau Burung Sanitary Landfill, Pulau Pinang are combusted using pilot plant scale fixed bed combustor. The temperature of the hot combustion gas at the top of the bed was observed and studied for energy conversion. Based on the experimental data, a Heat Recovery steam Generator (HRSG) mathematical model will be developed to predict the energy recovered from the combustion process for power production. From the temperature profile of the gas produced, the maximum achievable temperature will be used as the input in the HRSG model. Theoretically, the heat produced will be used for steam production driving steam turbine to generate electricity.
