Most developing African countries challenges with waste disposal, which has become a menace to the environment and the residents. However, due to the development of technology and advancement, numerous approaches of combating waste disposal have been researched from waste recycling to waste-to-energy through incineration or bio processes.
The aim of this project was to design and construct a sustainable waste incineration plant that can solve waste disposal problems in emerging economies, particularly in Yenagoa Metropolis, the Bayelsa State Capital of Nigeria, in order to have access to sustainable electricity generation, and distribution, and the reduction of pollution causd by a poor waste management framework in the state capital.
This thesis was made to ascertain how waste could be used for power generation, and how power generation could be sustainable and how it could be possible to accelerate Waste-to-Energy power plant market growth for socioeconomic sustenance, as a profitable investment for Bayelsa State government and other investors from the private sector. The outcome of this thesis would indicate investment’s sustainability and profitability, while also saving the eco-system from the danger of an improper waste management and disposal strategy.
This thesis has potential to trigger an awakening to many states in Nigeria, especially to Lagos State that has the capacity to generate 0.5 kg of waste per day per person, and produce more than 10,000 tons of waste in a day to join the cause of eliminating and/or reducing wastes, thereby making the environment free from pollution caused by various uncontrolled waste dumps in the state.
