Design, Build and Test the Performance of an Eco-Friendly Urban Garbage Burning Machine

Abstract

The problem of urban waste management continues to be a global challenge, especially in areas with rapid population growth such as Kupang City. Inadequate waste management infrastructure and conventional disposal methods, such as open burning and landfills in landfills, increase the risk of environmental pollution and public health. Therefore, this study aims to design, build, and test the performance of environmentally friendly urban waste incinerators as a more effective and sustainable alternative solution. The research methods used include surveying and observing waste management conditions in Kupang City, designing and manufacturing waste incinerators, and testing their performance in various operational parameters. The evaluation includes combustion efficiency, exhaust emissions, operational stability, and the environmental impact of using this engine. The results of the study show that the developed waste incinerator is able to reduce the volume of waste by up to 95% with exhaust gas emissions remaining within the safe threshold. The closed combustion system applied allows for a cleaner and more efficient combustion process than conventional methods. In addition, the modular and flexible design allows for implementation at various scales, whether in residential, commercial, or small-scale waste management facilities. With the right policy and regulatory support, this machine has the potential to become an innovative solution for more sustainable waste management in cities.
