Kolhapur city is located in south-west Maharashtra at Lattitude N 16.430 ,
Longitude E 74.140 and is known as Dakshin Kashi from ancient time. It is a
famous religious place due to Mahalakshmi & Jotiba temples. The city stands
on the bank of river Panchaganga, a tributary of the river Krishna. It has an
elevation of 574 m which is higher than that of Pune. By road, Kolhapur is 228
km south of Pune, 615 km north-west of Bangalore and 530 km west of
Hyderabad. Kolhapur's climate is a blend of coastal and inland climate of
Maharashtra. The temperature has a relatively narrow range between 100C to
350C. Summer in Kolhapur is comparatively cooler, but much more humid,
compared to neighbouring inland cities. Maximum temperatures rarely exceed
380C and ranging between 33 to 350C with average rain fall 1200 mm.

Kolhapur is the sixth most industrialized city in Maharashtra. It is fast


becoming an industrialized district as well and already a front‐runner in agro‐
based industries.

2.5 PROPOSED PROCESS AND TECHNOLOGY :
REVERSE PUSH RECIPROCATING GRATE TECHNOLOGY
Introduction :
The Single Segment Reverse Push Stoker System shall be capable of
combusting municipal waste.

The reciprocating stoker system will consists of a refuse feeder, a reverse


acting stoker with adjustable device of refuse layer, a combustion control
system and an ash discharge system.

This technology is based on the existing reverse push reciprocation grate, and
its core is in view of the living MSW features of low heat value and high
moisture. The MSW could be more fully burned by Single Segment Reverse
Push Stoker system so as to decrease the heat reduction rate of ash slag. The
primary air used for supporting burning is preheated by secondary air heater
to make the temperature more than 240 ºC to 250 ºC, so as to make the MSW
that enters into furnace dried, fired and burned at a quick speed. The extra air
factor of boiler is designed to be over 1.6, to maintain sufficient oxygen in
boiler and reduce the production of Toxic Equivalent Quantity. AV & UE’s
boiler, high-temperature secondary air sprays into at a high speed to make
sufficient disturbance of flue gas, prolong the residence in furnace, so as to
improve the combustion condition to ensure the flue gas temperature not
lower than 850 deg. C in furnace and residence over 2 seconds.

In view of the situation that the primary air which is used for supporting
burning is difficult to control, division air chambers is designed, that is in
accordance with the different regional features during MSW burning, the air
chamber under the grate is divided into several relatively independent air
chambers, each chamber equipped with air adjust door. Under certain air
pressure, by adjusting the primary air amount in one or several or all air
chambers, the regional or the whole combustion condition could be improved.

Prepared for M/s Kolhapur Green Energy Pvt. Ltd. (KGEPL), Mumbai Page 35
The open range of air door and air amount is designed to be linear ratio, and
the combustion condition could be exactly controlled by auto control system.

2.6 PROCESS LOGIC:

STEAM GENERATOR CAPACITY

Boiler Capacity 15 TPH

Steam Pressure 40 KG/cm2

Steam Temperature 400 °C

Fuel Quantity 180 TPD

PIT MANAGEMENT
• 4 to 5 days of the plant capacity is dumped in the pit.
– The garbage is not kept in open as odor has to be managed
– The garbage leaves the moisture and the CV increases due to anaerobic
activity.
• The efficiency of power generation in a steam power plant highly depends on
the pressure and the temperature of superheated steam. In Municipal Solid
Waste (MSW) based waste to energy plants the range of steam parameters is
typically around 46 bar and 410°C. High pressure and high temperature cycles
are crucial for increasing the operating efficiency and the power output from
the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Waste to energy plants.

Prepared for M/s Kolhapur Green Energy Pvt. Ltd. (KGEPL), Mumbai Page 36
MSW FUEL FIRING GRATE SYSTEM

The moving grate mechanism (normally inclined although horizontal grate designs
are operating) moves the burning solid waste from the inlet to the outlet. Primary
combustion air passes from below the grate underneath the burning solids and flow
through the waste bed into the freeboard zone above the bed. Secondary and tertiary
air injection ports are used to ensure complete combustion of the gas phase
components volatilized from the solid waste. Typical regulations require the flue gas
to be held at a minimum temperature of 850oC for two seconds after the last injection
of combustion air.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN:
The plant engineer will draw a schematic plan for plantation, gardening, drainage
system to enforce proper implementation & reporting to plant engineers.
Pollution Control:
 Power plant main pollution is boiler waste gas with ash dust for which
Electro Static precipitator (ESP) is fitted. Ash is collected at bottom and
pneumatically conveyed collected in Ash silo, Ash mixed with water from
ash silo by tuck dispatched to dumping yard. Ash can be used for cement
manufacturers. Fine ash from ESP contains 92% silica, which can be for
silica gel of pure silica by chemical reaction. It gives a rich dividend.
 Water pollution is little during cooling tower blowing and D.M. plant blows
acidic or alkaline water, which is neutralized, in small tank. The water is
ultimately used in plantation.
Control Method of Air Pollution:
 Air pollution is controlled through E.S.P. and outlet air form ESP having 50-
mg/mg3 airs is discharged to atmosphere at 55-meter stake height
chimney.
 Dust area bag filters (suction) type is fitted to collect dust in fitter bags & a
little water spray arrangement (sprinkler) controlled avoid reducing air
pollution.
Control of Water Pollution:
 Water pollution is little as explained it is neutralized in small tanks. Then
water is used for gardening purpose.
Control of Thermal Pollution:
 Thermal pollution at initial stage taken care by each equipment suppliers,
boilers, ESP,T.G. steam pipe line, all are woolen with aluminum cladding
covered which will reduce heat loss. This power plant thermal cycle unit
loss of thermal energy is inefficient operation.

Prepared for M/s Kolhapur Green Energy Pvt. Ltd. (KGEPL), Mumbai Page 40
Control Method of Noise Pollution:
 All Equipment maintenance noise below 20 dB during steam exhaust in air
goes up to 80 db. Power residential area steam exhaust have silencer but
during turbine tripping steam are exhausted to air to bring down the boiler
pressure.

CHAPTER-3
MARKETING VIABILITY

3.1 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT -


Solid Waste Management is a part of public health and sanitation normally
dealt with by local bodies like Municipal Corporations. It is essential
obligatory functions of the Urban Local Bodies in India. This service is falling
too short of the desired level of efficiency and satisfaction resulting in
problems of health, sanitation and environmental degradation.

It is estimated that the total solid waste generated by 300 million people
living in urban India is 38 million tonnes per year (MSW Manual). The
collection and disposal of municipal solid waste is one of the pressing
problems of city life, which has assumed great importance in the recent past.
With the growing urbanization as a result of planned economic growth and
industrialization, problems are becoming acute and call for immediate and
concerted action. The proper disposal of urban waste is not only absolutely
necessary for the preservation and improvement of public health but it has
an immense potential for resource recovery.

World oil prices increased by more than 50% during the seventies, i.e.
subsequent to the oil embargo by OPEC (Organisation of Petroleum
Exporting Countries). This necessitated a global search for alternative energy
resources. The Government of India recognized this potential and formulated
a separate ministry, Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources (MNES) in
the year 1992. The functions of MNES is to co-ordinate, fund, manage and
implement the projects in the nonconventional energy sector utilizing
resources such as the wind, solar, biogas, hydro and geothermal and urban
and industrial waste in the country. There is an exclusive group in MNES,
which deals with "Energy Recovery from Wastes". The waste-to-energy

Prepared for M/s Kolhapur Green Energy Pvt. Ltd. (KGEPL), Mumbai Page 46
projects are implemented through National Programme on Energy Recovery
from Urban and Industrial wastes and UNDP/GEF.

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) emerged as a potential energy source owing to


several desirable attributes – high organic and low sulphur contents. Other
wastes originating from animal and agricultural farms also has a high
proposition of organic matter an also be utilized for energy recovery.

The primary objective of National Master Plan (NMP) is to provide additional


power generation capacity in a decentralized manner through projects for
energy recovery from urban and industrial wastes in a cost effective and
proven manner using technologies that are applicable to the Indian
community, conditions, and support ongoing adaptation to meet
implementation needs and also provide vital solutions to the environmental
problems including reduction in GHG emissions.

Waste-to-Energy projects form an integral but small part of the overall waste
management strategy. Its future growth is, hence, inseparably linked with the
progress made by the country in waste management.

At present, MNES is implementing a Program on Energy Recovery from


Urban Wastes with the following objectives:
 To harness the available potential of MSW-to-energy;
 To promote the setting up of projects for recovery of energy from urban
wastes; and,
 To create a conducive environment for the development and
implementation of waste-to energy projects.

As per MNES the potential of the MSW for conversion to energy is presented
as bellow.

2012 189986 3276
2017 265834 4566

Under the Municipal Solid Wastes (Management & Handling) Rules of


December 2000, all Class I cities have to provide proper treatment and
disposal facility for MSW. This translates to a very significant potential for
WTE projects.

The rationale for the targets and time frame for the NMP is based on
achieving the Waste-to-Energy potential of Urban and Industrial sectors as of
2002 by the end of the 12th Five Year Plan (2017).

For the Eleventh and Twelfth Five Year Plans the targets are based on the
successful implementation of the above strategies and accelerated growth in
implementation of WTE projects to achieve the final targets at the end of the
Twelfth five year plan.

Based on the above rationale, the targets and time frame for the period 2004
to 2017 are developed and are presented as bellow.

From the analysis of Commercial Viability, it is evident that no subsidy


is required for MSW to Energy Projects during the 11th and 12th FYP.
The role of the Government in form of financial support is hence not
required. Since however these projects are environmentally necessary
and socially relevant the NMP provides for funds at a reasonable
interest rate through a credit line to encourage speedy implementation
of such projects.

3.2 REGION WISE WTE POTENTIAL IN INDIA


As Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management is the primary responsibility
of the Local Bodies and at present gets some financial support from the
MoUD. Support from MNES is restricted to Waste-to-Energy projects only.

For summarizing the waste potential the cities were divided into the four
categories based upon the population of the city (Year 2001). The
characteristics of the Cities are defined as:
1) South Region

Prepared for M/s Kolhapur Green Energy Pvt. Ltd. (KGEPL), Mumbai Page 49
2) North Region
3) Western Region and
4) Eastern Region

City is considered as big or small depending on its population. The criteria of


defining big city or small city is as under –

Sr. No. Categories Population

1 Very Big Population More Than 15 lacs

2 Big City Population between 10 to 15 lacs

3 Medium City Population between 5 to 10 lacs

4 Small City Population < 5 lacs

5 Megacity Population more than 50 Lacs

6 Metropolis Population between 10 -50 Lacs

7 Sub-Metropolis Population between 5-10 Lacs

8 Class I Population more than 1 lacs

9 Class II Population between 0.5 to 1 lacs

10 Class III Population between 0.2 to 0.5 Lacs

11 Class IV Population between 0.1 to 0.2 Lacs

12 Class V Population between 0.05 to 0.1 Lacs

13 Class VI Population More Than 0.05 Lacs

4 Small City 94

The class I cities of the southern region generate about 24720 tons of solid
waste every day, of which about 10215 tons is generated from the very big
cities like Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore. The big cities in the zone
generate about 490 tons of solid waste and medium size cities generate solid
waste to a tune of about 4325 tons per day (17% of the total solid waste
generated in the region). The total solid waste generation in the small cities is
about 39% of the generation in the region, which is about 9690 tons/day. The
quantum of solid waste generated in each category of city is shown in pie

3.4 IMPORTANCE OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT : CONCEPT OF WASTE TO


ENERGY
Waste-to-energy concept is a matter of great concern to various stakeholders
- urban local bodies, the state government, state pollution control boards, the
environmental service providers and the public at large owing to the multiple
benefits of resource recovery, energy recovery, waste management and
disposal, environmental compliance, reduced GHG emissions and
environmental impacts.

3.5 REDUCTION IN GREEN HOUSE GAS (GHG) EMISSIONS -


The waste to energy plants will also reduce the emission of the GHG by
capturing the gas generated and converting it into electricity. Thus;
accomplishing the objective of the providing vital solution to the
environment.

The quantum of the GHG that will be captured while achieving the targets is
illustrated through figure bellow. Around 228500 tons of carbon equivalence
GHG will be captured before the end of the twelfth five-year plan. This

Prepared for M/s Kolhapur Green Energy Pvt. Ltd. (KGEPL), Mumbai Page 59
quantum is based on the total estimated potential of energy generation from
MSW and industrial wastes.

Above all figures shows the huge potential of Waste to Energy projects in
India. To achieve above targets government has announced some incentives.

3.6 FLYASH BRICK MARKET VIABILITY
USES AND APPLICATIONS
Fly ash bricks are used in building industry.
Fly ash Sand-Lime bricks Building industry:
Fly ash sand-lime bricks can be used as an alternative material for burnt clay
bricks which is one of the important building materials used for construction
of housing and buildings. The fly ash building bricks are unable in all types of
brick masonry works and can substitute the conventional burnt clay bricks in
nearly all applications.

Advantages of Fly ash sand-Lime bricks:


1. Uniform size, require less quantity cement mortar.

2. Can be used as facing bricks without any external plastering.

3. Lower bulk density.

4. More resistant to salinity and water seepage.

5. Utilization of waste and conservation of soils.

6. Saving in fuel.

MARKET SURVEY
Construction work is basis to out development efforts - for agriculture and
industry for the development of water, power transportation and
communication system and certainly for housing the people so that their living
standard can be upgraded to promote their welfare and happiness.
Construction accounts for about 50% of the total development all our lays; but
the scale of Housing shortage along should be sufficient to dispel any illusions
as to be adequacy of our present efforts. It is imperatives therefore, that no
lower the construction cost substitute; materials of improve performance can
be developed and made available for mass scale use in developed and made

Prepared for M/s Kolhapur Green Energy Pvt. Ltd. (KGEPL), Mumbai Page 65
available for mass scale use in urban as well as rural areas. Lime an excellent
cementing material in terms of its workability imperviousness, inherent
strength etc. is ideal for this purpose. Lime along in conjunction with
puzzolenic material like fly ash can prove a good substitute for cement. In
India is the estimate production capacity of all the brick industries is about
900 million which is far below the market demand and the shortfall is likely to
increase manifold in future years during which a large increase in the building
activity is anticipated. It is well recognized that traditional method of hand
moulding cannot cope with the heavy demand.

Utilization of Bottom Ash


As a by-product from the treatment of Municipal Solid Waste in Waste to
Energy plants based on AV & UE’s Reverse Push Reciprocating Grate
Technology, 35% of ash is generated from the total waste incinerated. Bottom
ash being the major stream, it can be utilized or sent to landfill.

Bottom Ash Generation


AV & UE based Waste to Energy facilities produce clean renewable energy
through the incineration of Municipal Solid Waste. The non combustible
fraction of the waste in the furnace forms a residue (ash) remaining on the
grate at the completion of the combustion cycle. This residue is referred as
bottom ash consisting primarily of glass, ceramics, ferrous & non ferrous
metals & minerals. Hitachi Zosen power plants equipped with the most
modern pollution control equipment to clean emissions. MSW volume is
reduced by 90% which results in generation of electricity and the remaining
residue is bottom ash which is tested and put to reuse.

Utilization of Bottom Ash


The bottom ash can be utilized for various purposes consisting for brick
manufacturing to road, building & other civil construction works. Bottom ash
can further be utilized for embankments & filling material for reclamation.
Prepared for M/s Kolhapur Green Energy Pvt. Ltd. (KGEPL), Mumbai Page 66
In Kolhapur the bottom ash is in demand with various brick manufacturers.
There are 10 to 15 brick manufacturing kilns located within a radius of 30 Kms
from the project site. Some of the popular brick manufacturers with whom
discussion took place are as follows:
1. Essarcon
2. Narasinha Tiles Center
3. Tara Tiles Pvt. Ltd.
4. JD Group
5. Creative Pavers Manufacturing Co.

3.7 POLICIES AND GUIDELINES OF MNES


MNES has promoted the national program for the recovery of energy from
industrial and urban Wastes. Since this program seeks to promote setting up
of waste-to-energy plants, various financial incentives and other eligibility
criteria have been proposed by the MNES to encourage the participation in
waste-to-energy projects. These are listed below:
1) Financial assistance is provided by way of interest subsidy for commercial
projects.
2) Financial assistance is provided on the capital cost for demonstration
projects that are innovative in terms of generation of power from municipal/
industrial wastes.
3) Financial assistance is provided for power generation in STPs.
4) Financial incentives are given to municipal corporations for supplying
garbage free of cost at the project site and for providing land.
5) Incentives are given to the state nodal agencies for promotion, co-ordination
and monitoring of such projects.
Prepared for M/s Kolhapur Green Energy Pvt. Ltd. (KGEPL), Mumbai Page 78
6) Financial assistance is given for carrying out studies on waste to energy
projects, covering full costs of such studies.
7) Assistance is given in terms of training courses, workshops and seminars and
awareness generation.

3.8 POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT


The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) has to be signed between the project
proponent and the state electricity board for the purchase of electricity that
is generated through waste-to-energy plants. The PPA defines the rate at
which the electricity will be purchased and other terms and conditions
mutually agreeable to the State Electricity Board and the project proponent.
A sample format of power purchase agreement for MSW to energy projects is
included as Appendix VI and can be used as a guide line for specific
requirement of an local WTE project. Based on this PPA, the project
proponent can take further steps for setting up the WTE plant. In case of any
disputes on PPA or the tariffs for the purchase of electricity, the project
proponent or SEB can file an appeal before SERC, which is a quasi-judicial
statutory authority appointed to resolve such issues. If the orders passed by
SERC are not acceptable to either SEBs or project proponents, they can be
appealed against in the High courts/ Supreme Court for final orders. The
policies introduced by various state governments for purchase of electricity
generated from MSW projects are given below.

3.9 CONCLUSION -
From the above data it can be concluded that there is huge potential for
municipal solid waste management projects throughout India. Projects are
on hand is social necessity as these projects are reducing the environment
issues of waste management and on the other hand manufacturing power
which is also the need of the hour.
In view of this, the project under consider the viable from marketing point of
view also.
