The alternative municipal solid waste (MSW) management is directly linked to the reduction of the biodegradable fraction and total waste mass disposed to landfill sites. Nowadays, the design and implementation of flexible plants with thermal or biological treatment methods are recommended by European and National legislations as an extremely sustainable waste management strategy in terms of this purpose, capable of assuring the protection of the environment and human health as well as the production of renewable energy. This paper focuses on the techno-economic analysis of an integrated mechanical–biological treatment scheme which includes the technology of anaerobic digestion (AD) for combined heat and power (CHP). Additionally, the main design and technical parameters of the biogas to energy project under consideration as well as the local conditions and legal requirements are reviewed. The goal is to investigate the prospects of profitability arisen in the longer term by the integration of a small scale MSW concept and the replacement of the current practice of waste disposal for a suburban municipality of Athens.

瓦里-沃拉-沃利亚格梅尼市以能源回收为目的的替代性城市生活垃圾处理技术分析

替代性的城市固体废物（MSW）管理与减少可生物降解的部分和减少填埋场的总废物量直接相关。如今，欧洲和国家立法建议采用热处理或生物处理方法的柔性工厂的设计和实施，以此作为一种极可持续的废物管理策略，以确保环境保护和人类健康。生产可再生能源。本文着重于对机械-生物综合处理方案的技术经济分析，其中包括用于热电联产的厌氧消化（AD）技术。另外，审查了正在考虑的沼气发电项目的主要设计和技术参数，以及当地条件和法律要求。目的是研究通过整合小规模城市生活垃圾概念并取代雅典郊区市政当局的现行废物处理做法，从长远来看将产生盈利的前景。
