Mangaluru: BIO-CNG produced by processing solid day waste produced in Mangalore City can power the household for 66 years in nine cylinders per year.
Solid waste can also produce 3,300 kg of organic fertilizer and a number of other income income products.
In short, 330 tons of city solid waste is a gold mine – not only can generate large income, but also helps Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) manage the flow of solid waste sustainably.
The phrase of the latest MCC interests for sustainable technology for dried waste and wet waste processing in the solid pachanady waste (SWM) was invited by many proposals and one of them presented this sustainable and profitable picture.
This has been submitted by a sustainable impact, a company based in Bengaluru and Hasiru Dala, who has the ability to collect, transportation and dry and wet waste processing along with the mother Earth Environ Tech Private Limited and Rehman Infra Ventures (AKA APD Earth).
AP Abdullah, CEO, Earth, said that the total waste of 68% was wet waste and if it was separated correctly, it produced 8,400 kg of gas a day.
A ton of waste produces 4% gas and 10% fertilizer.
In their proposal, initially 50TPD (tons per day) BIO-CNG and organic fertilizer factories along with 15 TPD material recovery facilities for dry waste will be regulated, if the MCC accepts its proposition.
“BIO-CNG can move LPG in the commercial kitchen or provide low carbon fuel in CNG vehicles or provide infrastructure for carbon neutral EV charging for EV vehicles,” he said.
Organic fertilizer will be sold to farmers to help reduce their dependence on chemical fertilizers, he added.
The estimated capital expenditure for this is Rs 19.85 Crore with a monthly operating expenditure cost of 4.32 crores.
He showed the current process through gathering and transporting most of the waste which was then processed as compost with the rest sent to unsustainable landfill.
“By combining our capabilities in sustainable collection, transportation and processing not only wet waste and dry waste but also biomedical waste, hazardous waste, e-waste and inerts We can provide MCC with a solid final solution for the flow of solid waste.,” He added , PKS receives around 330 TPD per day solid waste, in addition to waste from nearby urban local bodies such as Ullal, Bantwal, Kotekar.
