PRODUCTION OF THERMOELECTRIC POWER FROM SOLID WASTES OF SOME EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF LAHORE By Mohammad Rafiq Khan, Mehreen Kamal, Sana Sheikh, Fizza Pervaz and Shireen Abbas Lahore School of Economics
ABSTRACT The work reported in this paper was undertaken to study the feasibility of production of thermoelectric power by incineration of biomass content of solid waste of Lahore School of Economics (LSE), Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Kinnaird college (KC ) and Government College University Lahore (GCUL). The secondary data was collected by consultation of literature in different libraries, visiting various websites on Internet and picking material from documents published by different establishments concerned here. Primary data concerning the production and disposal of solid waste was collected from LSE, LUMS, KC and GCUL.. The primary data concerning the production of thermoelectric power from the solid waste such as bagasse was collected by visiting Pattoki Sugar Mill and the prices of machinery and equipment were supplied by the Mill authorities which were later verified by visiting the websites of different local machinery manufacturing companies. The data were used to design the project that was subsequently appraised to determine its B/C Ratio, NPV by applying discounted cash flow techniques and payback period (PBP) was determined by conventional method.
INTRODUCTION The study was undertaken with the following objectives in mind: Safe and techno-economic disposal of solid wastes produced in the scheduled educational institutions. Study of the feasibility of production of thermo-electric power from the biomass of solid wastes. Later extension of the study to higher levels such as village, town and city level. Recommendations to all concerned for effective solid waste management.
METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH Collection of Data Processing of Data Interpretation of Results The preliminary enquiry revealed that the total waste produced in the scheduled institutions were approximately as follows: LSE 200 Tons per Annum LUMS 500 Tons per Annum KC 200 Tons per Annum GCU 720 Tons per Annum
One related to the actual waste of the institutions and second to the amounts that had the likelihood of qualifying the projects as feasible for subsequent implementation are reported in Table 1 and 2. The two sets of projects;
