Estimation of the Moisture Content in Typical MSW

Problem Statement Calculate the composition and moisture content of typical MSW is given in the Table 1.

Table 1. Composition and Moisture Content Data

Step 1: Calculate the Dry Weight of Each Component Assume there are 100 lbs of total waste From Table 1, we see that food waste is 9% of the total weight of a 100 lb sample of MSW. Its moisture content is 70%, therefore we can calculate the dry weight of food waste.

Step 1: Cont’d To calculate dry weight: Total Weight = Dry Weight + Moisture Content therefore, Dry Weight = Total Weight - Moisture Content

Step 1: Cont’d For food waste: Total Weight = 9 lbs Moisture Content = 70lb/100 lb = 0.7 Dry Weight= 9 – 0.7(9) = 2.7 We can calculate the dry weight for other waste components:

Table 2. Dry Weight Calculations

Table 2. Dry Weight Calculations

Step 2: Calculate the Overall Moisture Content Total weight = Dry weight + Moisture. Total weight = 100 lbs Dry weight = 78.8 lbs Moisture = 100 – 78.8 = 21.2 lb/100 lb Moisture Content = 21.2%

Class Example Repeat this example with the waste composition shown Which component(s) have the greatest impact on waste moisture content? Why is this important?
