Add up all the weight of the MSW left after recycling to get the Total Weight Remaining (TWR). Then divide the weight remaining of each componenet by TWR and multiply by 100 to get the weight remaining in %. This is your new waste stream. Consider 100 lbs of this to then compute the moistue content, the specific weight, and the energy content (total) and energy density of the MSW after reculcing

Determine the Moisture content, composite specific weight and the energy content of the "new" waste stream after recycling on a BTU/ib basis Determine the Moisture content, composite specific weight and the energy content of the "new" waste stream after recycling on a BTU/ib basis
