PERFORMANCE OF ORGANIC RANKINE CYCLE SYSTEM IN COMBINATION WITH RESIDUAL MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE GASIFICATION: A SIMULATION ANALYSIS

Despite recycling is largely adopted in Europe, the amount of disposed municipal solid waste (MSW) from mechanical-biological treatment is increasing. At the same time, more environmentally friendly waste-to-energy (WtE) solutions are needed to promote sustainable management of residual MSW (RMSW) compared to incineration, which is the most common process to valorise MSW. Among the waste-to-energy solutions, gasification is considered a promising option
