 Title of the Project
Process improvement on the WorkFlow of MSW
Management Site & WTE Plant
 Details of the Site/Plant Visit
NAME OF THE COMPANY: Hyderabad Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Ltd.
(HiMSW)
SITE VISITED: Jawhar Nagar MSW Site

11th September, 2022; from 10:30 to 16:50hrs

DATE OF VISIT: 3rd October, 2022: from 11:00 to 5:10 hrs

OBJECTIVE OF THE VISIT: • Familiarise ourselves with the WorkFlow of Waste Management
• Understand the crucial Activities that take place on Site.
• Find processes that have gaps that can be filled with applied
engineering
• Discuss the improvement scope for the project
The WorkFlow and Activities
Initial Screening and
Segregation

• Manual Segregation
• 100mm Screening
• Waste <100mm contains the most of Organic
Waste; this is diverted to Compost WasteFlow
• 100mm+ goes through a brief manual
segregation to pick recyclables like glass,
metals etc.
• Remaining 100mm+ is diverted to the Probable
RDF* WasteFlow

*RDF - Refuse Derived Fuel

Leachate Treatment
MANAGED BY SANDEEP

• When MSW is dumped, all the

moisture in it seeps to the bottom
carrying all the toxins with; it’s called
Leachate.
• Leachate is a very harmful substance;
it needs to be treated.
• Various Methods are used to treat the
Leachate in this Plant.
Waste To Energy
Power Plant 1

CIVIL: SANJIB ADITYA; FUNCTIONING: CHAMARTHI

• This plant, mainly does two things:

1. Saves about 90% of the space otherwise
occupied by Landfills.
2. Generates 19.8MW of Electricity at peak

• This Waste-To-Energy Power Plant can burn

upto 2400 Tonnes per Day to produce ~5MWh
of energy per day
• This is the second WTE Power Plant in the
Country; first one being built by the same
company in Delhi.

compost.
• For this we are working on
finding innovative ways to
increase the calorific value of
the waste.
 Calculation of moisture content and
Improvement in Calorific value

• Moisture content= • Measurement of calorific

value is expressed in KCal/kg
Wet waste - Dry waste/Wet
waste *100
• Moisture content of the waste
sample reduces the heating
value thereby reducing the
caloric value of the waste.
 What we identified?
• We have noticed there’s a lot of moisture content in the waste that is
being sent to the incineration chamber.

• This moisture content is decreasing the calorific value of the waste which
in turn is decreasing the heat generated in the boiler.

• This stunted generation of heat is decreasing the efficiency of the boiler

affecting the power generated.
