A Geographical Analysis of Landfill Sites in the City of Ramadi and the Possibility of Investing in the Production of Electrical Energy

Abstract

The study aims to investigate the sanitary landfill sites in the city of Ramadi, as the problem of solid waste is the main problem which concerns the management of all municipal councils, especially cities, due to the narrow land area, the amount and size of massive solid waste, and negative consequences on public health. The study links the population uses with the waste quantities generated in the city of Ramadi, and showed the geographical distribution of landfills in the city and the environmental impact on it. The study includes studies on extracting energy from solid waste and the amount of energy generated from solid waste in the city of Ramadi which is measured by the following equation (thermal value of the material = (kj / kg)] × 10-3). The total heat capacity of solid waste in the city of Ramadi is  525,097.333105 (kW.h / year) kWh.
