Bio-Methanation-cum Electricity Generation Plant

Budget : 96 Lakhs
Innovation Type (Process/ Product): Process

About the Project:

The Bio-Methanation-Cum Electricity Generation Plant located in Industrial area, Phase-1 of Chandigarh. The plant was established by Chandigarh Municipal Corporation whereas designing and execution was done by Avi Plast Garbage Treatment Projects, Mumbai. The project was commissioned in November, 2015 and inaugurated in November, 2016. The total area of this facility is 150x150 feet and processing area is 450sq.ft. The plant has a daily intake capacity of 4.5MT per day of organic municipal garbage that comprises of kitchen waste, paper, grass, gobar (cow dung), dry leaves etc NISARGRUNA technology offers a “Zero garbage, Zero effluent” method for waste management. Unlike conventional bio-gas plants that can handle only cow dung and/ or human waste, BARC’s NISARGRUNA technology has the capability to process almost any biodegradable waste, such as kitchen waste, paper, grass, cow dung, dry leaves etc. This makes, such bio-gas plants a good potential for energy generation in this biphasic-bio- methanation plant. The gas is used to generate electricity with the help of a generator set. The electricity so obtained is used to light the street lamps. Proper record of the materials taken in to the plant from all the sources is maintained through a register.
