Σύνοψη

The project aimed at:
(a) Carrying out an investigation into the various viable
methods of refuse disposal.
(b) Critically analyse the characteristics of these methods
and select the most appropriate which can meet the
Nicosia needs.
(c) Discuss in detail the selected option and present
design calculations, drawings and technical
specifications for the plant.
The following methodology was used in carrying out this
study:
(a) The relevant literature was studied in detail and an
overall appreciation was gained.
(b) Relevant information was collected using two methods:
(i) desk research,
(ii) field research using primarily the interview method
(c) All collected data was classified and analysed.
(d) Conclusions were reached.
The current investigation supports the view that the most
appropriate method for refuse disposal is the
incineration. The option of sanitary landfill was rejected
be~ause of the negative impact of the environment and the
intense sensitivity prevailing in the community.
Incin~ration entails the following possitive features:
(a) Produces electricity
(b) Gets rid of industrial waste water
(c) Eliminates the possibilities of pollution of the ground
water
(d) Some material recovery can be established
