Solid Waste Management Q

Answer:

Mass of every component based on percentage of waste:

For 1 kg of Sludge
 Water = 1 kg (60%) = 0.6 kg
 Dry matter = 1 kg - 0.6 kg = 0.4 kg
 Nitrogen = 0.4 kg (6%) = 0.024 kg
 Carbon = 5 (0.024 kg) = 0.12 kg

For 1 kg of Leaves
 Water = 1 kg (45%) = 0.45 kg
 Dry water = 1 - 0.45 kg = 0.55 kg
 Nitrogen = 0.55 kg (1%) = 0.055 kg
 Carbon = 45 (0.055 kg) = 2,475 kg

C ∈1 kg of leaves+ x (C ∈1 kg of Sludge)
C/N = 40 =
N ∈1 kg of leaves+ x ( N ∈1 kg of Sludge)

2,475 kg+ x (0,12)

40 = ----------------- x = 0,327 kg sludge / 1 kg leaves
0,055+ x (0,024)
Ratio = 0,327 : 1 -------- if 2 kg leaves composted then it needed 0,654 kg sludge

Sludge Weight: = 2000 kg ( from Density x Volume)

Leave Weight: 700 kg

If 700 kg leaves composted, the amount of sludge needed is:

700 kg leaves x 0,327 = 228,9 kg sludge

Solid Waste Management Q

Watering Raw Compost need or not? (50%, determine the water required per/raw compost)

Checking C / N ratio and moisture content of the resultant mixture

- For 0.327 kg sludge

 Water = 0.327 kg (0.6)
= 0.196 kg
 Dry Mater = 0.327 kg (0.4)
= 0.131 kg
 Nitrogen = 0.327 kg (0.024)
= 0.0078 kg
 Carbon = 0.327 kg (0,12)
= 0.039 kg

- For 0.327 kg sludge + 1 kg leaves

 Water = 0.196 kg + 0.45 kg
= 0.646 kg
 Dry Mater = 0.131 kg + 0.55 kg
= 0.681 kg
 Nitrogen = 0.0078 kg + 0.055
= 0.0628 kg
 Carbon = 0.039 kg + 2,475
= 2,514 kg

Find the C / N ratio = 2,514 kg / 0,0628 kg

= 89,79
It doesnt need watering raw compost cause it’s different C/N

For Windrow design:

 Area composting should process 1 m3/day
 Organic waste is piled on top of the air tunnel to a height of 1.5 m to form rows of length
 Compost will form around 5-6 weeks (60 days straight)

 The compost maturation process takes 1-2 weeks

Solid Waste Management Q

Answer

Balance Chemical Form: C55H110O40N + 13,25H2O --------> 33,375CH4 + 26,625CO2 + NH3

Mr = 1424 238.5 534 1171 17

The weight of methane and carbon dioxide

Mathane = 534 x 475kg ÷ 1424

= 168 kg

Carbon Dioxide = 1171 x 475kg ÷ 1424

= 391 kg
