Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is the waste generated in a community with the expectation of industrial & agricultural waste. Therefore, treatment of these waste is an important component of an integrated solid waste management strategy & reduces both the toxicity & volume of MSW requiring final disposal in land fill. The representative average molecular formula for organic waste is C6H10O4. The anaerobic decomposition of organic material yields principally methane (CH4), Carbon dioxide (CO2), & the solid compost material that can be used as a solid conditioner. The ethanol manufacture is done by fermentation. Yeasts & Bacteria are unicellular and of very small dimensions. They are used for fermentation of MSW. Other byproducts are acetaldehyde, fuel oil etc. Rapid industrialization & urbanization has increased the pollution. Instead of land filling this fraction, it is advisable, both from economic & environmental view points, to recover energy from the non-recyclable, combustible materials instead of consigning them to land fills.
