INTERGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

PROPOSAL

Proposal Development of WASTE TO ELECTRICITY ENERGY POWER PLANT using Aurora Cycle
Power’s Gasification System for Indonesia.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Indonesian archipelago is very much a Developing State even though it has become a popular
destination for relatively affluent tourists. It is becoming increasingly important to balance its
economic and environmental goals in order to maintain its special place among the world’s top
travel hubs. The rapid rate of hotel and luxury development during a boom cycle creates many
challenges for Indonesia and other emerging markets, one of which – waste management – is a
matter of social responsibility and in need of urgent redesign. Waste management falls squarely
within the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
1. Contamination from improper waste management impacts water and soil quality, and its
build‐up is a detriment to land use opportunity and aesthetics. The current system of waste
management reveals a lack of cooperation among its stakeholders. Hotels and luxury
developers are bringing in non‐biodegradable materials whose proper disposal the local
residents are unfamiliar with, and much of which ends up in illegal dumps. This system
illustrates how inherently unsustainable the tourist industry is, especially in areas lacking
consistent government supervision. Indonesia is a country where low‐cost, efficient
development is preferred over bureaucratic environmental assessments and consistent
enforcement. According to community members involved in recycling programs on the
island, leaders in the hotel industry continue to take advantage of the disorganized system.
2. Without regulatory or consumer pressure, they will pursue race‐to‐the‐bottom tactics such
as relying on the cheapest labor to dispose of the waste. Ultimately, rivers and beaches fill
up with its guests’ rubbish.
3. This “out‐of‐sight, out‐of‐ mind” attitude and disregard for long‐term, sustainable solutions
is an echo of environmental and economic policies across Indonesia.

2.0 OBJECTIVE

This paper will apply the Integrated Waste Management a model to Indonesia in order to
contemplate the viability of introducing to the island tech‐based infrastructure, specifically BigBelly™
solar‐powered waste compactors in low‐ to medium‐ density areas. A discussion of any element of
IWM requires a discussion of the entire system. The stakeholder stories told here will give the reader
an idea of the complexity of IWM in developing regions, specifically in relation to the tourism
industry. For centuries, the waste management system consisted of burning or burying organic
waste. With the introduction of non‐biodegradables, the system evolved into an informal scavenger
network and eventually small recycling operations. As land grows scarce and consistent supervision
falls to the wayside, these cohorts could benefit from a cooperative business model to minimize
competition and maximize efficiency. Consumer‐power and government pressure will be key in
enforcing that people interact with these services appropriately. In cases where a waste
management system must navigate both traditional methods and tourist influence, community
integration of any WM effort is a question of power. Large developments did, at one time,
participate in WM. Volume is exceeding local capacity, however, and it is becoming increasingly
evident that the status quo needs urgent attention. Any effort to develop an IWM system recognizes
that sustainability depends on a cultural shift among its waste‐makers. The system and its
stakeholders should first and foremost encourage among each other and their spheres of influence
waste reduction and recycling. This paper will assess the potential in heavy developing regions for
integration of powered waste compactors as an alternative to sidewalk trashcans and small‐scale,
illegal commercial waste dumping (not recycling). Current data on these receptacles demonstrate
high‐performing efficiency, albeit in highly developed urban areas. Introducing these compactors
could be strategic in low to medium‐density areas, but should only be used as an alternative to a
regular trashcan, not as a solution to insensible waste generation.
Incorporating this technology will supplement a multidimensional WM system, but will remain a very
small piece of a large puzzle.

3.0 Integrated Waste Management (IWM)

IWM assessment and planning means looking for technically appropriate, economically viable, and
socially acceptable solutions to waste management problems in cities in the South and countries in
transition – with acceptable levels of environmental performance. It is based on principles that
include an explicit concern for disadvantaged groups and conservation of environmental resources.
It looks very broadly at a wide range of conditions and issues, and uses participatory action research
methods.
Cooperation between stakeholders – local government, NGOs, the community, and industry – is
needed to implement the systems. The components of waste management are complex and far‐
reaching. In all its various forms and historical mutations, it is deeply implicated in the practice of
subjectivity. The connection we as individuals form with our waste is a byproduct of our socio‐
economic surroundings. The “culture of waste” that has developed correspondingly to
industrialization confirms that we as individuals have an inevitable, relational effect on the world
through what we use. Understanding that a variety of factors influences each individual to form a
distinct and subjective response to our waste, the “code of waste ethics” must be relational,
creative, and flexible. It should be uncovered and analyzed in each community, and then dispatched
in action and education.

4.0 VISION AND PLANNING

The official philosophical foundation of the Indonesian state and its five inseparable and mutually
qualifying principles include social justice and national unity. It does not yet highlight an
environmental component. Indonesia experienced an anti‐communist purge and neoliberal policy
shock in the 1960s. Its development ministry willfully dismissed the indigenous ideology of Pancasila
and the country underwent rapid modernization and inequitable distribution of its benefits.
Polluted rivers and coasts are not issues that fishermen can afford to think about when they are
focused on feeding their families. Indonesia has yet to enforce robust environmental standards,
perhaps because it has over 18,000 islands under its national purview. Through the IWM lens, the
national government should remain an active stakeholder in waste management, but should not
preempt localized programs.
To achieve these, there should be collaboration between environmental and development interests
and ideas, as well as political and institutional changes that integrate the environment into macro‐
economic systems and corporate operations. Regional and national governments should incorporate
these growth principles with their indigenous ideology. Government accountability is the biggest
issue in the way of environmental mainstreaming in Indonesia. There are conflicting goals that need
to be addressed.
Indonesia should allow more autonomy to its island regions to develop local waste management
programs, and make sure that allocated funds are being used for such purposes.

The vision for this ‘INTERGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM from Aurora Cycle Power’s
Gasification System is to give a better and unique WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM planning for
Indonesia that explores future scenic designation state which incorporates the following goals and
objectives;
This proposal will emphasize on the high­profile waste management system that enhances
mobility, stimulates economic growth, and integrates safety efficiency and environmental
sensitivity.
The studies will qualify the viability of the proposed proposal on WASTE MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM measures.
To provide a cost effective plan
The development is equipped with modern green technology facilities including advance
computerized simulation systems.

5.0 INCINERATOR PLANT OVERVIEW

6.0 THE AURORA CYCLE POWER CONCEPT

Based on historical data related to the production of electricity from Aurora Cycle Power’s Gasification
System, the technology will deliver an output of 3MW per hour from gasified waste material. The
estimate is based on a minimal output of 1.5MW per ton of waste processed. As long as a minimum
of 2 tons is processed per hour, the goal output of 3 MW will be achieved. Please refer to the chart
below to see how our photon­induced plasma arc gasification system compares to other waste
management processes.

The Aurora Cycle Power System stands apart from other waste­to­energy technologies with proven
results in the following areas:
Gasification Process
  Mixed waste – example: MSW containing metal and inert material such as glass, porcelain,
tile, rocks, etc.
 No constraints due to moisture content of feedstock – example: MSW and sewage sludge
mixed for dual stream processing through one gasification unit.
 Manipulation of syngas volume and BTU to accommodate specified uses.
 Decontamination and vitrification of soils, mine tailings and other inerts.
 Power consumption is 25%­50% less than other electric arc gasifiers, historically.
 Electricity consumed generally constant despite variations in feedstock.
 Volume of gas output generally constant despite variations in feedstock.
 Little t no susceptibility of fluctuations or disruptions to process due to sudden changes in
material composition, density and moisture content.
 Automated process with little hands­on work.

Electricity Generation Process

 Ultra­dense and lightweight basalt fiber components result in greater efficiencies by allowing
for the use of high pressure saturated steam, as opposed to “dry steam”, which is expensive
to produce and challenging to maintain.
 Use of corrosive­resistant materials allow the system to burn gasses and deliver motive fluids
that other turbine systems simply cannot accept.
 Simplicity of design and manufacture enables extremely long duty cycles and ease of
maintenance.
 Utilization of axial flux generator results in greater power production with a smaller footprint.
 Multi­stage gas scrubbing system incorporated throughout unit eliminates the need for a
separate gas scrubbing system.
 Airborne emission at exhaust point essentially nothing more than water vapor.
 Operates on same HMI technology platform as CCP Gasification System for instant analysis,
feedback, and plant management on site as well as from remote locations.
 Automated process with little hands­on work to start, shut down and maintain power output.
