This study models larger designated area for regional waste management to synthesize municipal solid waste incinerators by making clusters. Following three scenarios are evaluated in views of environmental impact, energy, cost. All of municipal solid waste incinerators in the area are synthesized A.(1) in order of average distance between clusters not to remain incinerators which scale are below 100 (ton/day), A.(2) in order of average distance between clusters not to remain incinerators which scale are below 300 (ton/day) or B. in order of small scale incinerators.
As a result in this case study, we conclude.(1) Scenario A.(2) synthesized in order of average distance between clusters not to remain incinerators which scale are below 300 (ton/day) is most appropriate in energy and cost evaluative indices.(2) Some cluster phases in scenarios of larger designated area bring less gross environmental impacts and costs evaluative indices in the area, but in the same time bring some of municipal solid waste incinerators that have much environmental impacts and costs than before making clusters.
