Imphal at night
In a step towards dealing with the menace of solid waste, Imphal, the capital city of Manipur has added 120 tonnes-per-day municipal waste-to-energy plant to its arsenal, reports Hindu Businessline.
Commissioned by Ahmedabad based Innovative Eco-Care (IEC), the plant will produce 2.4 megawatts (MWs) of electricity, around 10 tonnes of compost and also 3,000 kilograms (KGs) of light diesel oil.
The plant has been built with the Renerzyme process which involves a mixed microbial treatment of the municipal solid waste. This helps reduce the moisture and eliminates foul odour. The process results in improved efficiency of the power generation from the waste.
It should be noted that the Ahmedabad based IEC is also implementing a similar project in Karnataka's capital city of Bengaluru.
Once operational, it would have the capacity to process as much as 300 tonnes of municipal waste per day, while generating six MWs of energy. The entire project is set to be made operational by December 2022 as per Vioul Chaturvedi who is the founder and managing director of IEC.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
