Bioreactor Landfill, Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai

Budget : NA

Innovation Type (Process/ Product): Process

About the Project:

In this technology the mixed waste is landfilled and covered for a specific period so that the organic matter present is degraded naturally. The degradation process is controlled through leachate collection and landfill gas extraction. After complete degradation of the material the landfill is mined to recover the degraded organic matter (compost), inert (soil, rock) and refuse derived fuel (RDF). After mining the space is recovered and again used for processing next batch of mixed solid waste. The compost that is produced by the process is used for agricultural purposes and the landfill gas is used for Waste to Energy/Flare. 6,500 TPD waste is treated by way of Bio-reactor Landfill technology. The city has a total of 3 bioreactors. At the Kanjurmarg bioreactor approximately 3200 MT waste is processed.
