Biomethanation at Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) Campus

Budget : 10 Lakhs
Innovation Type (Process/ Product): Process

About the Project:

Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) University constitutes 21 campuses with 23 canteens and 4 cafeterias. Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS), located at Chandaka Industrial Estate is a sister concern of KIIT University. It has setup a biogas plant within its premises in order to sustainably manage the food waste from the canteen. The canteen provides food to 25,000 students and generates food waste generated in the canteen is approximately 4 MT per day. The plant uses segregated food waste that are sorted and fed to the crusher/shredder along with a suitable quantity of water to form a slurry. The homogenized slurry from the inlet chamber is then fed into the anaerobic digester. The anaerobic digester is designed with baffles which trap the suspended solids and allow degradation of the waste. The digester has slow revolving scum breaking mechanisms that breakdown the scum. The liquid overflowing from the digester collected in the recycle chamber is partly used for slurry preparation at the sorting table and the remaining is discharged to the drains after suitable dilution. The sludge is periodically removed from the bottom of the digester and can be used as manure for horticultural purposes. The biogas generated from the anaerobic digester is collected in the bio-gas holder, pressurized and is used as a cooking fuel for the canteen. The Institute has a daily saving of Rs. 4000 after installation of the biogas plant. The institute won the Energy Globe World Award 2017 for its green initiatives.
