ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS

AND HEAT VALUE

 HHV based on components
HHV (kJ/kg) = 53.5(F+3.6CP)+372PLR
where, F- Food waste; CP- Cardboard + Paper; PLR-
Plastic + Leather + Rubber (%)
LHV (kJ/kg)= HHV – QL
where, QL- Latent heat of water vapour released
QL= 2440(W+9H)
where, W- moisture in waste (kg); H- hydrogen in dry waste (kg)
