Bio-box technology at GRT Regency Hotel

Budget : 7 Lakhs

Innovation Type (Process/ Product): Process

About the Project:

Hotel GRT regency is a situated at Palankanatham area in Madurai. The hotel installed Bio Box facility in 2016, to handle the biodegradable waste such as kitchen waste, green plant waste, etc. generated at source. On adding organic waste to the Bio box, the humidity sensors turn on the heater and the composting tank gets heated. The water content in the organic waste gets vaporized and exits through the exhaust system, resulting in volume reduction and at the same time, the microorganisms decompose the organic waste into compost. The blades present in the system facilitates a uniform mixing of the waste. The organic waste is converted into compost in just 24-36 hours. As the compost level reaches the mark inside the composting tank, the compost is removed up to the shaft level. It is necessary to maintain this level for future composting. The manure is then layed out in the adjoining covered shed for about two to three days and then packed. The compost is currently being used in the hotel garden. The consumption of electricity during the process is pretty high leading to higher operational expenses.
