MANGALURU: Bio-CNG produced by processing a day’s worth of solid waste Mangaluru The city can power a family on nine cylinders per year for 66 years.
Solid waste can also produce 3,300 kg of organic manure and many other revenue-generating products. In short, the city’s 330 tonnes of solid waste is a goldmine – it could not only generate huge revenue, but help. Mangaluru Municipal Corporation (MCC) sustainably manage its solid waste streams.
MCC’s recent expression of interest for sustainable technologies for the processing of dry waste and wet waste at the Pachnady Solid Waste Management (SWM) plant invited several proposals and one of them presents this sustainable and profitable picture.
submitted by continuing effect, a Bengaluru-based company and Hasiru Dala, who have a partnership with Mother Earth Environment Tech Pvt Ltd and Rahman Infra Ventures (aka APD Earth) for the collection, transportation and processing of dry and wet waste.
AP Abdullah, CEO of APD Earth, said that 68% of the total waste is wet waste and if it is properly segregated, it generates 8,400 kg of gas a day. One ton of waste produces 4% gas and 10% fertilizer. In their proposal, initially a 50TPD (tonne per day) bio-CNG and organic fertilizer plant as well as a 15 TPD material recovery facility for dry waste will be set up, if the MCC accepts its proposal.
“Bio-CNG can replace LPG in commercial cooking or provide low carbon fuel in CNG vehicles or provide carbon neutral EV charging infrastructure for EV vehicles,” he said.
He said organic fertilizers would be sold to farmers to help reduce their dependence on chemical fertilizers. The estimated capital expenditure for this is Rs 19.85 crore and monthly operating expenditure is Rs 4.32 crore.
He points to the current processes through the collection and transportation of large-scale mixed waste which is either processed as manure and the rest is sent to landfill which is not sustainable.
“By combining our capabilities in the collection, transportation and sustainable processing of not only wet waste and dry waste, but also biomedical waste, hazardous waste, e-waste and inert, we provide MCC with a complete end-to-end solution for its solid waste streams. can,” he added.
MCC receives about 330 TPD of solid waste per day in addition to the surrounding waste Urban Local Bodies like Ullal, Bantwali, Kotekar.
