Location of Transfer Station
• Transfer stations should be located :
1) As near as possible to the weighted center of the
individual solid-waste production areas to be served.
2) Within easy access of major arterial highway routes as
well as near secondary or supplemental means of
transportation.
3) Where there will be a minimum of public and
environmental objection to the transfer operations
4) Where construction and operation will be most
economical.

Identification and Classification
SW 5 • Other wastes
Scheduled wastes described in the First Schedule are based on the
following :
To prevent pollution of
scheduled wastes into the
environment
Used to:
→Improve the efficiency of solid waste
management system.
→Recover usable materials.
→Prepare wastes for recovery of conversion
products and energy.
4 Processing Technique
Magnetic & Separation of ferrous & Magnetic separation for separation for
Electrochemical nonferrous materials from ferrous material; magnetic fluid
separation processed solid wastes separation for nonferrous material, eddy
current separation for aluminium, etc
Drying & Removal of moisture from Convection, conduction & radiation
dewatering solid wastes dryers have been used for solid waste &
sludge. Centrifugation & filtration used to
dewater treatment plant sludge
hammermill shredder
Material Specification
Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) is
a fuel produced from various types of
wastes such as Municipal Solid wastes
(MSW), industrial wastes or
commercial wastes
Process
Thermal conversion
Conversion product
product
Pre-processing
Advantages: produce
lower quantity of air
pollutants, non hazardous
by product
Steam reforming is a
method for producing
hydrogen, carbon monoxide,
or other useful products
from hydrocarbon fuels. This
is achieved in a processing
device called a reformer
which reacts steam at high
temperature with the fossil
fuel.
Thermal decomposition Pyrolysis
of organic material at
elevated T in the
absence of oxygen
Product :
Char, Syngas, Bio Oil
Advantages: cheap,
economical,
environment friendly,
energy efficient
Diverting waste that would be sent to
landfill reduces the amount of
greenhouse gases and carbon
emissions released into the
atmosphere
Important of
Less waste in landfill lowers risks of energy
soil contamination, which could
further endanger wildlife and harm recovery
