CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Waste management has always been a national issue in the country. Different alternative ways of reducing wastes have been implemented but in the event of such destructive calamities as typhoons, earthquakes, and the like, these ways do not guarantee their effectiveness in waste reduction in as much as efficiency, availability, and productivity are concerned. Whilst there is something that can be done to the solid wastes and the uprooted trees brought upon by these inevitable calamities, they are just being disposed of, hence, these wastes literally become just wastes. During this calamity struck situations; transporting wastes, especially the carbonaceous ones, including household wastes with more emphasis to kitchen wastes were not collected. These household wastes would decay and would emit unwanted odors and may impose danger to sanitation and health. In light of this scenario, the researchers have come up with the idea of recording the rate of reduction of calamity-laid-waste and household wastes through the use of gasification which could also be a good source of nonrenewable energy—the whole activity would become not only a means of the introduction of small scale gasification to the mainstream but also a waste management program through the use of this as an alternative way of waste reduction.
Gasifier has been around for a while (originally invented in the 1800’s). While most designs run on wood and coal, some can actually run on any organic materials. Some researchers who focused on gasifiers use agricultural wastes such as rice husks, among other carbonaceous or carbon rich materials. Household wastes, more specifically kitchen and garden wastes are carbon-rich materials. Based on a research, an average household generates about 3.2 kg of solid waste per day. Inclusive of these wastes are food and kitchen wastes, papers, PET bottles, metals, and cans, boxes/cartons, glass bottles, and yard/garden wastes. The by-products of the gasification process are methane among other gases and tar. This process has become an alternative means of waste disposal. However, gasification is more common in the industrial practice and not on the household level until the recent years.
The need for an alternative acceptable methodology of reducing household wastes is being studied by the researchers. Various waste management has been proposed by some international, national, local as well as non-government organization to reduce, reuse and recycle waste materials, however, these procedures do not acquire the support of the usual Filipino household like the garbage segregation because the efforts of segregation are placed in vain as garbage trucks mix them away, when they are collecting it. Households do not receive direct benefits from the process and might not be supportive of the process.
The purpose of this research is mainly to introduce an alternative way of reducing wastes by using a household scale gasifier as well as knowing its effectiveness. The study intends to determine whether the household gasification process would earn satisfactoriness in terms of its ability to decrease household wastes. This study would be significant to the households, the community, and the environment. The main benefit of the use of gasifiers when applied to household would be to ultimately minimize waste and convert energy from it. This study focuses on the gasifier being a promoter in reducing solid wastes but not totally eliminating them. It would try to analyze the proportion of waste that would be reduced using small scale gasifiers.. Furthermore, household wastes will include those calamity-laid wastes among other household wastes. It will employ the use of small scale gasifier with the said type of wastes as raw materials.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In this chapter, a series of different studies and literature has something to do with the issue at hand is presented. Furthermore, in this chapter, a synthesis of local and foreign literature and previous studies are made. Waste management is not just a local and global issue, but also an issue that can be found at a household level. Reduction of household waste and elimination of such have become a challenge to many; this reality paved way to many inventions and strategies in waste management. Gasification of this waste matter has become a solution and option to many. Another feature of such method is that it can become a non-renewable source of energy that is eco-friendly. Furthermore, such waste management program can be used in calamity affected area – turning laid calamity-wastes into possible energy sources. In layman’s parlance, practitioners of this type of waste management are not only reducing their wastes, but are technically recycling them. In this country plagued by typhoons, one needs to turn the wastes into reusable one. Typhoon is very common to our country since Philippines is the first massive archipelagic land next to the Pacific ocean. To name a few, In 2009, typhoon Ondoy came to the Philippines and it was the second most devastating weather disturbance with a damage of $1.09 billion and 747 fatalities. In 2013, Typhoon Yolanda hit our country in which many houses were washed out and many people were forced to evacuate Tacloban. It is the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record killing at least 6,300 people in the country alone. Recently, typhoon Glenda disabled more than 95% of the NCR powerless as well as nearby provinces. But there is one common ground that we can see after every typhoon, and that is garbage scattered in the ground. These garbages do not only need to be disposed but rather to be used in a more usable form. However, people have seen this the other way i.e. calamity-laid-wastes as problem. A lot of efforts were done to solve the problem.
One solution to this is the use of gasifier. A lot of studies have been developed both local and foreign ones on the said issue.
Foreign Studies On international practice, gasification is way to convert organic or fossil-fuel-based carbonaceous materials-splitting it into carbon monoxide, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. It is achieved through reaction by heating the material at high temperatures (>700 °C), without combustion but with a controlled amount of oxygen and steam. The yield gas is called syngas—from synthesis gas or synthetic gas. The power derived from gasification and combustion of the resultant gas is considered to be a source of renewable energy if the gasified compounds are obtained from biomass. The advantage of gasification is that syngas can be considered to be potentially more efficient than direct combustion of the original fuel. It is so because it can be combusted at higher temperatures or even in fuel cells, thus, thermodynamic upper limit to the efficiency defined by Carnot's rule is higher or not applicable.
According to Fischer et al, syngas may be burned directly in gas engines, used to produce methanol and hydrogen, or converted via the Fischer–Tropsch process into synthetic fuel. Gasification may also begin with a material which would otherwise have been disposed of e.g. biodegradable waste. In addition, the high-temperature process removes corrosive ash elements like chloride and potassium yielding to clean gas production. Nowadays, Gasification of fossil fuels is currently widely used on industrial scales to generate electricity.
As a source of renewable energy, gasification offers one of the cleanest and most flexible ways of converting coal and other combustible materials. Thus, it turns residues and other low-grade fuels into high-value products such as electricity, chemicals and clean fuels. The upshot, gasification is not only a way to generate cheap energy but also a way to have an eco-friendly source of clean fuel. To support such claims of environmental friendliness of gasification, according to L. Jordan “the process also has a lower environmental impact than alternatives, emitting less CO2 - it is the lowest-carbon large-scale waste to energy conversion technology currently available”. Furthermore, in an on-line debate, S. Gandy interpolated that “gasification is viable at a smaller scale, and I can see it becoming the preferred technology for 'city-wide' solutions, where individual cities wish to manage their own waste. At this scale, incineration is less commercially viable, so the door is open for an alternative thermal solution that is technically reliable”. It is also good to take note that gasification requires low-level oxygen and steam which will not disturbed gas equilibrium in the atmosphere as stated by Dr. Stuart Wagland, Lecturer in Renewable Energy from Waste at Cranfield University. Furthermore, he said that recently they have started to see gasification as an emerging next key generation technology in the treatment of residual wastes for the production of clean energy. He has posted in a study that gasification has potential benefits over incineration, including efficiency. There is also the flexibility in the way in which the energy is utilized. The syngas can either be combusted directly and be used as a fuel in gas engines and turbines; then stored or processed through catalytic processes to produce liquid fuels or chemicals.
Many have been said about the process of gasification on its good side, however, some have raised their objections by raising the disadvantages of such. One notable opinion is that gasification is still a process of combustion because it still requires the use of oxygen which should have been used by animals instead; combustion still puts a danger to the environment. According to E. Fleck, there is a doubt if gasification posts no pollution or nature degradation in hundred percentum. Furthermore, on its economic side, gasification’s waterloo lies on its availability and affordability in the market.
Such is the case, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages. These disadvantages can be remedied easily by the use of alternatives.
On gasification as a way to manage wastes, it can be a solution to a long time problem of increasing wastes in urban and sub-urban areas. In international forums, wars on waste and proper disposal are not only the issues at hand. It also include on what method and strategy to employ. Other countries have recourse to gasification as a way to manage waste and to obtain renewable and ready-to-use energy.
Local Studies
A local study of a gasifier using rice husk has been conducted which showed promising results. Since, rice husk in the rural areas abound because majority of the crop-producing provinces of the Philippines plant rice, this seemingly immaterial part of the rice plant can be subjected to gasification. It showed a low-level-use of oxygen and a quality yield of syngas and energy. The study showed an alternative way of recycling rice husk—instead of letting the rice husk rot and be used for fertilizer or feeds, it can be used in the production of renewable energy. Another local study also reveals that a regular household do garbage segregation. Garbage segregation is just a step in waste management. In this country, waste management does not stop in segregating garbage it also includes its disposal. Statutes and ordinances have been adopted on the waste segregation yet disposal has never been a subject of legislation. With the increasing awareness of proper waste management, researchers and law makers are finding ways and alternatives for more effective practice of such. Gasification has been considered as an alternative one. Researchers and law makers have seen that the process has a lower environmental impact than alternatives, emitting less CO2 - it is the lowest-carbon large-scale waste to energy conversion technology currently available. The vision of a gasification power plant a bit further, combined with the knowledge that a normal practice of a household on waste management, thus, will introduce a new way of managing waste with beneficial effects, a household scale gasifier. Smaller gasifiers has been around and available commercially, but companies that sell those gasifier sell it to industrial facilities. And these gasifiers are bulky in size making it unsuitable, not to mention too expensive, for a regular household. But nevertheless, these companies selling gasifiers are successful. On another note, gasification process will have tar as one of its byproducts among others, thus the researchers will come up with a way on proper disposal of such byproduct. This will be in accordance to the guidelines as specified in ISO 14001:2004. Thus, a safety guideline will be generated to educate household members on what type of waste can be used as well as proper disposal of the byproducts.
Taking note of a recent and local study, researchers have conducted municipal-based waste management program that showed how legislation, adoption of an alternative and effective implementation have resulted to desirable ends. Using a legislative measure pass by the congress and made into law, it showed how the government adheres to proper waste management practice. The Philippine government drew up a decree to further the environmental cause. On July 24, 2000, the Philippine Congress enacted RA 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act. This Act provides for an ecological solid waste management program, creating the necessary institutional mechanisms and incentives, declaring certain acts prohibited and providing penalties, appropriating funds thereof, and for other purposes.” This Act mandated the Department of Education (DepEd), the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and other concerned government agencies to “incorporate ecological solid waste management in the school system at all levels” (RA 9003, 2000).This trend towards enlisting educational institutions had been taken up by private organizations as well after the National Solid Waste Management Commission (NSWMC) established a comprehensive approach in “Mainstreaming Ecological Solid Waste Management in the Philippine Educational System Project.” Through the implementation of the DENR, the project sought to enhance the capacity of students’ waste management through an Ecological Solid Waste Management Training Program. The NSWMC-Secretariat developed the Trainers’ Training Program not only to instruct students but also to teach them how to train other students about solid waste management. The ultimate goal was to empower the students, teachers, and school administrators to create their own school-based solid waste management program. From February 28 to March 1, 2007, TAP sponsored the Young Environmental Stewards (YES) Trainers’ Training Workshop at Caleruega, Nasugbu, Batangas. The project’s goal was to utilize the SBSWM approach for the improvement of the social and environmental welfare in Sta. Rosa City through multisectoral collaboration. It aimed to provide training for all 64 public and private high schools in the city and in the end, integrate SWM concepts, principles, and practices in the high school (year 1 to year 4) curriculum. The NSWMC provided TAP with the Ecological Solid Waste Management Handbook (Solid Waste Management Made Easy–A Do-It-Yourself Guide to Community-Based Ecological Solid Waste Management Programme) as the foundation for the training modules used in the Trainers’ Training Workshop. Technical speakers for the training consisted of representatives from United Nations Development programme (UNDP), DENR, Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), Community Based Ecological Solid Waste Management Council (CBESWMC), Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), Save Silang Santa Rosa River (S3R2), and TAP. The lectures were on RA 9003, community-based ecological solid waste management, air and water quality management, and proposed ecological solid waste management modules for schools. The upshot, the consideration of tying up with schools has popularized the adoption of solid waste-management program not only in the sectoral level but also to the mainstream masses. The popularization of house hold gasifier can be done through legislation and adoption in educational institutions.

METHODOLOGY

With objectives of determining the effectiveness of using a gasifier in reducing wastes, a descriptive research methodology will be used. This study will only make use of the effective gasifiers prepared by the researchers. The classified amount of wastes produced by each household will be the basis on how effective the gasifier is, and should never, in any case, harm our environment.
Research Design
A survey among 100 random Filipino household families will be conducted. Each family will be categorized accordingly to its volume of household wastes. The amount of wastes each household produces in a day will be asked and classified as either organic or inorganic. The data will then be recorded and analyzed. With the use of z-test for proportions, the gasifier’s ability to reduce the household waste, its ability to provide supplemental amount of energy and its ability to run the process with minimal downfalls and complications would be tested.
Data Gathering Procedure The data obtained through the survey will be utilized in determining suitability and acceptability of gasifiers in the household level. The amount of reduced wastes will be compared with that of the total amount of wastes generated by the sample population. The effectiveness of the gasifiers in reducing wastes shall be tested by the mass of the organic wastes it can convert as as syngas, methane, Carbon Dioxide and Tar. The masses of the organic, inorganic as well as the total wastes shall be noted for each household. The proportion of the mass lost in the gasification process shall be used in the analysis

Conceptual Framework
Table 1. INPUT | PROCESS | OUTPUT | * Selection of 100 random households * Household Wastes as Raw Materials | * Classification of Household Wastes * Gasification System | * Reduced Wastes * Energy obtained through gasification * Unwanted Wastes/Residues |

Input The study will make use of the household wastes as raw materials which will be inputted in the gasifier. The wastes will be approximated by conducting a survey among 100 random households about the amount of wastes they produce in each day.
Process
Based from the data obtained, the calamity-laid and household wastes will be classified as either organic or inorganic materials. The organic wastes will then be assumed to have undergone the process of gasification.

Output The expected outputs are the reduction of wastes due to the gasification process, the converted energy due to the methane gas which is one of the by-products in the process, as well as the unwanted wastes generated by the same process which are ash and tar.

Perform proper waste disposal to tar and non-organic materials

Statistical Treatment Large sample testing for mean proportion of mass removed will be used to test if there is significant proportion of waste product eliminated by the gasification process. As on this case, the group is comprise of the 100 random families who will be asked to take a record of their weekly household wastes produced in kilograms. The household shall be asked to segregate the masses of the organic, inorganic as well as the tar produced after the waste product has undergone the gasification. The record of these findings shall be recorded on Table 2. The general effectiveness of the process depends ultimately on the household’s appreciation of the use of gasifiers in reducing wastes as well as the benefits it might cause them. Upon experiencing the process, the respondents shall be asked if they are willing to use household gasifiers shall be counted and the proportion of those who favor the use of small scale gasifiers shall be tested if they represent the majority of the population.
