Is Waste to Compost Machines is good way to dispose waste in proper way..??

Composting seems a feasible way to solve some of the problems associated with waste management, regarding waste management. The circular stated that entities that generate more than 100 kg of wet- waste every day should install within their own capacities to dispose the wet waste. Therefore a lot of entities have made various attempts to segregate the wet waste generated at source from the inorganic waste and utilized the wet waste generated for composting processes. The following techniques have been utilized by them.

USE of Compost Machines:

Various shopping malls, industrial setups, offices have been using a in-vessel waste composting machine which is basically a mechanical machine that works using electricity, manual labor to convert the wet waste generated into usable compost. The following image shows the machine which is used.

Waste to Compost Machine:

* A typical in vessel waste to compost machines based on electric power.

Such machines have capacities ranging from low as 5 kg per day to 500 kg per day of wet waste to compost. These machines are the fastest when it comes to create compost. It usually converts the waste into usable soil additives within a 24 hour time. However the major drawback of the machine is the requirement of electric power which adds to the cost and also the initial capital investment needed to purchase these machine.

Such machines are now being installed at various places in Mumbai from where BMC does not collect waste.

in vessel bio gas waste generator:

Another Waste to compost machines that solves the issue of wet waste is an in vessel bio gas waste generator. (See image above )

Here the operation is simple, the wet waste generated is put into the plastic tanks and with enough time to generate an-aerobic process slurry and bio gas can be collected to generate useful energy. Bio gas generated from such processes can be utilized as a gas to produce heat necessary for cooking purposes. However the bio gas production takes time to generate and also the machine is bulky which would take up space for large amount of food waste disposal.

Manual composting machines.

This types of Waste to Compost machines are simple in construction which is basically a rotary device which can be rotated manually with the help of a handle. The idea is to store wet waste in such containers and usable compost will be created naturally in a span of 15-20 days. The machine needs to be rotated in order to ensure better mixing and aeration of the waste. However the process though is less costly takes time to create compost and might not be feasible with large generation of food and wet waste. Also will require ample space. See image.

How to Convert waste into usable compost?

The earth is all that we all have in common.

Globally 54% of the total population now resides in Urban centers around the world hustling ad bustling here and there in work leaving the waste behind unconsciously harmful not only for their life but life taking for future generations also. With so many people living close to each other results in development of businesses, trade, economy as a whole there is a generation of tons of waste.

We at Klimrus are endeavor to provide the creative and sustainable solution of this problem by reducing the burden of waste by turning it into efficient and usable products.Since we believe waste is not waste until we leave it as a waste.

Here’s how we do it.

55% of the total waste produced is organic in nature.

Organic waste when left in open attracts pest, emit methane, has foul odor and is not pleasing or creative sticky eyeballing to the eye.

We provide the machine that converts this waste into efficient and quality compost which helps to contribute us to create a better world.

Compost is a byproduct of organic waste free of foul odor and deserving for the better environment.

Initially, waste is segregated into dry waste and wet waste which requires 2 separate bins. & convert waste into usable compost.

Read Here:how to segregate waste at home?

Once waste is segregated successfully it is followed to the shredding machine

The shredding machine then reduces the particle size into fine bits acting as a catalyst leading to faster composting.

The shredded organic waste particles are then added to the machine.

The machine uses heat and energy from the sun to mix the waste and heat it to high temperature as high as 50-60 degrees Celsius.

Waste is reduced by 60-70 % due to bacterial action at such high temperatures.

The result after 6-7 days is the production of compost from the waste.

Compost from waste could be used for

Gardening (making your environment look greener and with positive vibes arriving at the spot of our lives.
Agriculture (food waste is nutritious for crops enhancing agriculture output)

Benefits of Composting:

Compost improve your soil
Helps plants absorb nutrients in your soil and gives extra nutrients .
It maintain PH Value Of Your Soil

The rest of the waste generated such as plastics and paper could be shredded into smaller pieces for efficient storage and could be sold to scrap dealers for additional income.

And the best part about the machine is that it completely works on solar energy. Meaning no hefty electricity bills.

So why wait. Go green and save the environment as “Waste is only a resource at wrong place.”

Convert waste into usable compost and save environment !

What is Composting & how to start Composting ?

Solid waste management techniques.

May 30, 2021October 27, 2020 by Sandip Patil

Solid waste management techniques.

The following are the ways by which the problem of Solid waste management are currently been studied and even implemented.

Waste to Energy (WTE)

Refers to method of generating energy in the form of electricity and/or heat from waste, usually through combustion. The combusted waste generates steam which could be utilized to drive a steam turbine thus resulting in energy generation. It also avoids the problem of leachate seeping underground thus reducing groundwater contamination. But while the method seems great at first glance it also has its own caveats. First and foremost waste to energy needs huge quantities of waste generated and later to be incinerated resulting in a possibility to divert resources from recycling plants. Also high amount of wet waste generation also results in difficulty in burning the waste.

Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF)

A fuel produced by shredding and dehydrating combustible MSW. RDF can be used for industrial purposes instead of coal. RDF are pellets created from trash which can act as a viable alternative for burning purposes. Input materials needed for RDF consists of waste that have a high caloric value.

E.g- paper industry rejects, Plastic packaging, High caloric plastics, Mixed waste from household, industry.

Concerns regarding Refuse derived fuel

The cost effectiveness of the process to generate electricity.
Toxic and polluting gases emitted by such fuel generation and use.
Also the problem of using mostly dry waste for power generation which again could be used for recycling purposes. Wet waste mostly needs to be segregated from RDF plants. So it basically solves only a part of problem.

Currently BMC has floated tenders for deonar dumping ground for a setup of a waste to energy plant. But due to lack of segregation deonar dumping grounds which can cause reduced calorific value of the combustible waste (due to mixture of wet organic waste) there are not many parties interested to take up the challenge citing, economic feasibility of the project.

Recycling

Recycling is perhaps the best sustainable long term solution for the waste management issues. The inorganic waste collected can be considered as a fodder for recycling.

Plastic, metal, Paper, E waste are easily recyclable and can be reused further. However Recycling is mostly undertaken by formal sector.

Generally speaking, Plastic, glass and metal is exchanged with kabadiwalas at household levels. The kabadiwalas act as a intermediate between waste processing centres. The rest of plastic and metal collected come from a array of informal workers called as ragpickers which also include children as well. Mumbai is home to one the biggest slums in the world called Dharavi slums which surprisingly works as an industrial recycling unit as well. Dharavi’s 13th compound an area which is associated with recycling since decades. It currently employs more than 5000 people in the recycling industry. The area acts as a big segregation plant with collection of plastic, plastic drums, iron scrap, cotton scrap, empty bottles, glass etc.

Composting

Composting signifies biological decomposition of organic material. Microorganisms decompose the organic material to a stabilized product, i.e. compost. The end product can be used as soil conditioner. The compost generated consists of useful bacteria which can help plants with numerous benefits such as nitrogen fixation, helps soil for water retention, adds nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Thus benefits of compost are numerous and unlike the above alternatives this method seems viable and sustainable in the long run. It is also in sync with nature in general. Composting has the following benefits to agriculture and environment.

Environment

Directs waste away from landfills resulting in less accumulation of garbage and reduces leachate production (which could contaminate underground resources )
Reduces foul odors
Avoids methane production in landfills
Helps in afforestation programmes and increases the survivability of plants.
Reduces need for landfill space*

Agriculture

Helps maintain soil ph levels
Adds water retention capacity of the soil
Adds organic matter, humus which supplements the soil.
Reduces fertilizer requirement
Provides a market for compost making and selling thus creating an extra income for the farmers
Compost attracts earthworms thus helping in better soil aeration.
Helps restore soil conditions as microbes are affected with high usage of chemical fertilizers.

First thing should know about composting is compost can made up from organic Material Only, But Some waste can not compost and these waste are…

1. Oil And Grease:

Generally Oil & Grease waste can Compost Only In Small Amount means suppose waste oils are remained in leftover meal, some food oil with food material then it can make compost but if you are considering in large amount of waste oil and that you want to make compost then it is taking to much carbon source and to much times to make compost. it affects to other material to make compost and stops or slow down composting Process, and you can not make good quality compost, so avoid oily and grease waste into organic waste composting Process. so Oil And Grease causes difficulty while composting , so it can not compost.

2. Pet Waste/Human Waste:

Everyone know that Pet Waste and Human Waste are not easy To compost, Every People Want to Convert waste into compost or Dispose Waste. but related to pet waste and human waste it will not happen well because of bad smell and bad things insertion, it is also very harmful for human body and it affects to our healthy body, so it is not good way to make compost.

you can use trench method to dispose Pet Waste, it is not manually easy to make compost it is difficult to make compost it can not compost easily.

3. Treated Sawdust:

Sometimes Treated Saw Dust is very harmful while making composting, compost is made up with natural carbon source, if you are adding any unwanted material as adhesive then compost process stops and will not results better quality compost. If you are using this type of compost to your plants , it will not grow or improve your plants life, so avoid to add unwanted or treated sawdust. Treated sawdust means if sawdust is created by fiber, plastic, ropes or metallic parts.
