The biggest obstacle to the use of city waste as fuel is high water content, irregular shape and size, as well as the conditions of organic and plastic waste mixed into one and difficult to save. This year's research aims to process city waste using the hydrothermal process combined with the process of pyrolysis to produce multiproduks in the form of becoming solid fuel and liquid fuel. The study began with a survey of garbage composition in typical TPS in the city of Bandung. From the results of the survey it was found that the ratio of organic components with plastic was not recycled was 10: 1 as seen in the picture below. The composition of the survey results was then used in hydrothermal experiments and lab scale pyrolysis, to get data for design, manufacture and modify the hydrothermal reactor and pilot scale pyrolysis.
Application of appropriate technology
High water content, irregular shape and size, as well as organic and plastic waste conditions mixed into one and it is difficult to save
