Assume a rough estimate of MSW composition is 60 % of paper (assume cellulose,
C6H10O5, moisture content 6%) and 40% food waste (assume sugar, C6H12O6,
moisture content 70%). Estimate the HHV using both ultimate analysis and
compositional analysis.
Size a digester to handle the paper, food, and water mixture of problem 6-6.
Assume that the 10,000 metric tons of waste was anaerobically digested over a 1-year period.
Assume that the organic fraction of the total solids for paper is the same as that for pulp.
