Abstract
In securing future energy supply and reducing the environmental impact due to the use of fossil fuels, the research on waste to energy conversion has been encouraged. The development of biomass or waste utilization processes has been supported by numerous experimental work and process modeling. Owing to the increasing interest in waste-to-energy research, several process models have been developed to evaluate process performance. This chapter presents the discussion on several works that used Aspen Plus simulator software to establish a process modeling approach. The results has revealed the great potential of Aspen Plus for evaluating the processes of waste-to-energy plants.
