NERUDA – tool for simulation of waste flows
at regional and/or international level
|
What is NERUDA?
NERUDA is a unique computational tool based on a simple principle implemented in a complex problem:
- It optimizes waste treatment strategy in a specific region from a waste producer's point of view (regarding economics and environment).
- The region is divided into numerous nodes in order to be able to simulate unified waste market and interactions reated to competitive environment
- It integrates waste-to-energy facilities within energy concept of cities
- It analyses various waste treatment technologies (waste-to-energy plants (WTE), mechanical-biological treatment plants (MBT) with subsequent RDF fuel utilisation).

The cost of waste treatment
|
Analysis of road utilization
|
Expected progress in MSW treatment in CZE
|
Expected collection areas
|
Two pilot projects, the impact of legislative changes (landfilling fee)
|
Visualization of expected waste transport
|
NERUDA – one tool – many ways of results presentation according to a customer‘s demand
The following subjects may benefit from its application:
- Strategy makers at country and/or regional level (government)
- Potential investors interested in new waste-to-energy plants
- Operators of existing plants
NERUDA – typical applications
-
Concepts at regional and country level
|
In 2013, NERUDA was applied to analyze the future demand for new WtE facilities in the Czech Republic. A ban on landfilling was considered. The potential of heat delivery within existing district heating systems was taken into account.

-
Feasibility of investment sin waste-to-energy
|
Assesment of economic sustainability of projects in a specific locality. Risks such as change in production and quality of residual waste, which cannot be recycled, energy prices, legislation development and strategies of competitors were evaluated. |
-
Waste transport optimization
|
Optimization of collection of waste commodities, finding a location for transfer stations and their capacities. Proposal of suitable technology for waste transport from a producer to a processor (road – railway – intermodal system). Daily transport planning. |
-
Unified waste market modelling
|
Application of NERUDA tool for a region including more than one country. Impact modelling of different development of key parameters in individual EU countries (production, capacities, environmental taxes) for effective utilization and planning of Waste-to-Energy capacities.
NERUDA tool is currently used for waste flow simulation only within the Czech Republic. In a simplified way it also takes into account waste markets in Saxony and Bavaria (Gemany) and in Austria. We believe that the inclusion of other countries in the calculations will significantly improve the simulations and help to estimate more suitable (both environmentally and economically) waste treatment all over Europe.
