Composting Plant, Jubilee Park

Budget : 400 Lakh (4 Crore)

Innovation Type (Process/ Product): Process

About the Project:

The compost plant near Jubilee Park handles this segregated wet waste and has a capacity of handling 50 MT of waste. Fresh garbage is stacked on the windrow platform. This is followed by mixing of inoculum and water with the garbage heap. This is done in order to fasten the process of decomposition of organic matter. The moisture content of the waste is maintained at 40-45%, as less than this level would result in the killing of helpful microbes while more moisture would lead to anaerobic kind of decomposition. Water is sprinkled on the heap on a daily basis and it is turned at least once every week, so all the parts of wet waste get in contact with air. By the end of fourth week the heap is decomposed completely, except items that take longer time to decompose (molasses, coconut fibre and shell etc.). These items are separated from the ready compost by a set of screening. First screening is of 35mm where larger objects are removed, and then the second screening is of 16mm where stones and other smaller undesirable particle are removed. After this the product is again left for about 15 day for further decomposition then again the same is passed through 8mm screen and then the compost gets ready.
