Feasibility study on prediction of properties of municipal solid waste with time series models

摘要

Chemical properties of solid waste (SW) are the important design parameters for municipal incineration plant projects. In Taiwan, a frequency analysis has been used to predict velues and trend of variation of SW properties. Yet few acceptable results were found, especially in municipal areas, mainly due to the changing properties of SW affected by living standards, consumer habits, degree of implementation of resource recovery and other complicated factors.
