 SWACHH BHARAT MISSION
MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE to Energy
•Municipal Solid waste in Urban areas has emerged as one of the biggest
challenges that our country faces today
•Not only in terms of environmental and aesthetic impact but also as a threat
to public health resulting from improper and unscientific handling of
municipal waste
•  Under Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban to make the country clean & 100%
scientific disposal of municipal solid waste in all 4041 urban local bodies has
been identified as a critical objective
•In 2017 only 18% of waste generated per day was being scientifically treated in
India

India generates 62 million tons of waste

(mixed waste containing both recyclable
and non-recyclable waste) every year, with
an average annual growth rate of 4% (PIB
2016). Poor waste management leads to
decline in quality of life in the aspects of
health and hygiene. Instead, it can be used

 Impact of Solid-waste Management -
The impact of the waste dumping system
•The impact of the waste dumping system that is legally practiced today is
humungous—to human health, environment and the socio-economic well-being of an
estimated two million waste-picker families who live off the dumping grounds today
in India.
•  Effect on human health: The US Public Health Service has identified 22 human
diseases that are linked to improper solid waste management. Several studies have
been published that link asthma, heart attack, and emphysema to burning garbage.
Human fecal matter is also frequently found in municipal waste—this, along with
unmanaged decomposed garbage, attracts other rodents, that further lead to a
spread of diseases such as dengue and malaria.
• Dump yards are frequently known to catch fires – the one at Deonar in 2016, located
in Mumbai raged for three months, pumping tons of cancer-causing smoke into the
air, caused by burning plastic, leather, etc.

 Impact of Solid-waste Management -
The impact of the waste dumping system
•  Effect on environment: Burning garbage is classified as the third biggest cause of
greenhouse emission in India—apart from the impact on human health, the effect on
land, water and food pollution is a matter of grave concern. Burning releases carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxide, Sulphur dioxide, and carcinogenic hydrocarbons, apart
from particulate matter into the air, resulting in India releasing 6% of methane

 Urban Local Bodies are spending more in Waste
Management than they collect in taxes
•Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) not only need to be mandated for managing waste
but also penalized for use of landfills. A survey reveals that Nanded, a city in
Maharashtra with a population of just 430,000 people, spends more than RS
15 crore to collect and transport waste to landfills, against a tax collection of
only Rs 75 lakhs
•Adequate financing for collection and disposal is one of the biggest issues for
cities that often struggle to cover the costs of providing waste services

enforced, then the private sector can be a really powerful player" World Bank

 Waste to Energy is Important source of Energy if
utilized correctly

• Poor waste management leads to

decline in quality of life in the
aspects of health and hygiene.
Instead, it can be used as a potential
source of energy, if utilized properly.
• Our resources need to be used and
then reused continuously so that
they don't end up in landfills. In
some countries like Denmark,
sending organic waste to landfill is
already banned.

16 3/16/2020 Sustainable Culture: Sustainable Solution - Lets go green together

 However WTE through thermal conversion is not
the solution for decentralized locations
•  Waste-to-energy (WTE) through thermal conversion is a disposal technology
that destroys the resource forever and doesn’t reduce waste or protect natural
resources. It also produces large amounts of ash that must be landfilled
anyway, so in reality, there is no such thing as zero waste to landfill even if you
burned 100 percent of your discards!
•The people who are pushing the hardest for a true zero waste future are clear
on the view that the current WTE technologies in the marketplace are actually
a waste of energy, money and natural resources. For all the breathless talk
about “thermal conversion technologies” (including plasma, gasification and
pyrolysis), the only commercially-viable technology in the industry remains to
be the Mass-Burn Systems that have a long list of problems, including the fact
that it has the most CO2 emissions per fuel type, its emissions contain
dangerous air pollutants, it’s the most expensive form of electricity, and it fails
to create a fraction of the jobs created by recycling and composting. And,
WTE produces only a fraction of the energy that can be saved through

recycling.
Sustainable Culture: Sustainable Solution - Lets go green together
 Only Composting unviable in Institutions & ULBs
•  Composting is a scientific and operations-heavy process. There are three major costs
involved in operations: labour, machinery and additive cost. While costs remain fairly
similar, the two potential sources of revenue, sale of compost and service fee paid by
households for processing waste are currently too low or nil.
•Chemical fertilizers are heavily subsidized by the government . In the absence of
financial incentives such as tax benefits or government subsidies, compost is sold at
much lesser, sometimes at a price point as low as Rs 2/kg.
•  Proper waste management generates useful by-products (compost in the case of
composting, energy in the case of WTE plants and fuel in the case of RDF plants) and
creates a circular economy. With heavy subsidies in chemical fertilizers, farmers are
disincentivized to move towards organic farming, thus reducing the market for
compost drastically. While the new SWM rules attempt to correct the inefficiencies by
mandating the Department of Fertilizers to take up marketing of compost, a lot more
needs to be done to create a market for compost and encourage farmers to adopt
organic farming.

18 3/16/2020 Sustainable Culture: Sustainable Solution - Lets go green together

 Why does government SWM rules put emphasis on
decentralization
•  The centralized model has three major challenges and impact:
•Increase in transportation cost, incentivizing the collector to drop the waste onto
unused land spots.
•Increase in wait time per truck (with an average of more than three hours per day),
leading to illegal dumping across open spaces in the city. This translates to very little
increase in recycling since the waste is typically mixed, and very few recyclables can
be segregated from such waste, washed, dried and transported in a form that is
accepted by traders for recycling. Downstream impact of increase in traffic, noise and
air pollution due to a daily surge in movement of trucks towards a central zone
regularly. For example, Hyderabad has hundreds of trucks carrying more than seven

•A zero waste company or community as one that achieves at least a 90 percent resource recovery
rate, which means there may still be a 10 percent stream of mixed materials, some of it being non-
recyclable, non-compostable and non-reusable discards that will need to be disposed.
• The German and Italian approaches are the new way forward in the segregated waste:
• Sort out any remaining recyclables
•“Bio-stabilize” the mixed waste in an anaerobic digester to capture the biogas and use it for energy
• Landfill the remaining inert material in a dry tomb landfill. In some countries like Denmark, sending
Organic waste to landfill is already banned.
• The Italians have taken an extra step by sorting out all the non-recyclable items in the residuals,

zero waste in business is a creative effort. For example, Xerox has been redesigning products for

number of different types of plastics it uses so more of the car can be recycled more quickly. And
Amazon.com’s frustration-free packaging program moves manufacturers from plastic clamshells and

 Why us?
•In a conventional biogas generation system, a gas conditioner is required to
remove harmful impurities like hydrogen sulfide and siloxane. The gas
conditioners are very expensive for small scale systems and sometimes cost
prohibitive. These impurities are very harmful to conventional engines
because they readily react with the oil and lubrication of the engine and
corrode the metal. FM engines with its patents in charge cooling and
lubrication technology totally eliminates this issue.
• Our 530cc and 650cc in its initial or multi rotor configuration are ideal for
small to mid size biogas generation systems.
• The prolonged life and very few moving parts in FM engines also give
tremendous cost advantage during operations and maintenance.
