Waste to Energy Plant near I.D.H Hospital

Budget : 200 Lakhs (2 Crore)

Innovation Type (Process/ Product): Process

About the Project:

A decentralized waste to energy plant of 4.5 MT per day capacity was jointly commissioned in near I.D.H hospital by VMC and Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, (IOCL) in February 2018. The project was executed under the Corporate Social Responsibility scheme of IOCL. Approximately 400 sq.m. of land was allotted by the Corporation for the installation of plant. The total cost of the plant including the operational & maintenance cost was provided by IOCL through their CSR fund. IOCL has engaged M/s Organic Recycling Systems Pvt. Ltd (ORSPL) for designing, commissioning and operations of the plant. The plant comprises a small-scaled containerized unit called ‘Yasasu Green’ designed by ORSPL. The unit is designed to process the organic waste to obtain biogas and manure. It is based on continuous high solid thermophilic anaerobic digestion technology (DRYADTM), producing zero effluent and leachate in the process. The biogas produced on digestion is combusted through the gas engines to produce electricity which is used for captive use as well as lighting of the surrounding areas. The manure generated is of high quality and is being used by the horticulture department of VMC in city parks The digestion and composting period ranges from 14 to 21 days. The quality of compost obtained is better than the conventional product as all the inerts are removed during pre-treatment stage and the pathogens are completely absent as the digestion takes place at a high temperature. This plant produces nearly 800 Kwh (units) of energy per day from feed of 4.5 MT of organic waste. After captive consumption, the unit is designed to ensure 400 units of energy per day to electrify the city’s water treatment plant. This plant also produces 35 kg of manure per day in the process.
