Multicriteria Analysis to Substantiate the Promising Nature of Using Waste as Components of Fuels

Consideration has been given to the use of municipal and industrial waste as components of a high-moisture suspension fuel. An analysis has been made of the efficiency of such fuel as far as its technical and economic, energy, and environmental indices are concerned with the MCDM multifactor-analysis methods. It has been established that suspensions without impurities and suspensions with a 10% content of cardboard are the most efficient. It has been shown that the final index of efficiency of such suspensions exceeds the efficiency of coal by 90% in some cases. Directions for raising the efficiency of suspension fuels whose basic components are industrial waste and municipal solid waste have been determined.

Consideration has been given to using municipal and industrial waste as components of a high-moisture suspension fuel and evaluating its efficiency using MCDM multifactor-analysis methods. It has been found that suspensions without impurities and suspensions with a 10% content of cardboard are the most efficient, exceeding the efficiency of coal by 90% in some cases. Directions for improving the efficiency of suspension fuels made from industrial and municipal waste have been determined.
