This research investigates the quantity of municipal solid waste produced during the dry season, and its characterization at Eyenkorin dumpsite of Ilorin metropolis, along the Lagos-Ilorin express way. The physicochemical and thermal compositions of the combustible fractions of municipal solid waste were analysed, to ascertain the available calorific value. In this research, the quantity (tonnes) of waste generated, the rate of generation (kg per capita per day), its sustainability and the likely energy and power potentials in the dry season, were essentially predicted. The population responsible for municipal solid waste generation during this study was 1,120,834 people. During the characterization study from November 2018 to February 2019, it was established that 203,831 tonnes of municipal solid waste was produced during the four months of the dry season, at the rate of 1.12 kg per capita per day. It was found that 280 tonnes/day of municipal solid waste with low heating value of 19 MJ kg^-1, would generate 1478 MWh of heat energy and 18 MW of electrical energy potentials discretely, and grid of 13 kW.

本研究调查了拉各斯-伊洛林高速公路沿线的伊洛林大都市 Eyenkorin 垃圾场在旱季产生的城市固体废物的数量及其特征。分析了城市固体废物可燃部分的物理化学和热成分，以确定可用的热值。在这项研究中，基本上预测了产生的废物量（吨）、产生速率（人均每天公斤）、其可持续性以及旱季可能的能源和电力潜力。在这项研究中，负责产生城市固体废物的人口为 1,120,834 人。在 2018 年 11 月至 2019 年 2 月的表征研究期间，确定 203、在旱季的四个月中，以人均每天 1.12 公斤的速度产生了 831 吨城市固体废物。发现 280 吨/天的城市固体废物低热值 19 MJ kg^-1 , 将产生 1478 MWh 的热能和 18 MW 的电能潜力，以及 13 kW 的电网。
