Abstract

The main problem with the Covid-19 pandemic is the emergence of medical waste which has increased drastically, such as from the use of disposable masks, gloves and personal protective equipment (PPE). The covid-19 pandemic has also caused changes in food consumption, which usually eats more at restaurants, switching to home cooking or ordering food. This has an impact on increasing the amount of solid waste at home from cooking activities and food packaging. One of the efforts to reduce solid waste generation in the community is to destroy solid waste using thermal technology. Gasification is an attractive alternative because it can be developed on a smaller scale to produce syngas as fuel for diesel engines. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential of MSW and covid-19 medical waste, which is dominantly made of plastic, as feedstocks for gasification process. This study will also examine the principal of gasification process and RDF production from MSW using several pre-treatment technology.
