So, the Title of our project is “Report on the Daily Activity and WorkFlow of a Municipal Solid Waste Management Site”; the description of the project and the details of
the company will be presented to you by Chinmay+
Description of the Project
NAME OF THE COMPANY: Hyderabad Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Ltd.
(HiMSW)
SITE VISITED: Jawhar Nagar MSW Site
Chinmay:
Good afternoon everyone, I’m Chinmay, roll no 75. I will be elaborating on the description of the project and the basic details of the company. So, the name of the
company we visited is Hyderabad Integrated Municipal Solid Waste limited; in Short HiMSW.
their project site is located far away from the city in the north-east; in the outskirts of a mandal called Jawhar Nagar. Unfortunately, only Karthik could visit the project
due to the second wave Covid-19 outbreak. He visited the site on 3rd April 2021 and stayed there from morning 10:30 to 16:50; he also visited the site several times
before. And keeping the objectives in mind, which are, Familiarise ourselves with the work ow of waste management and to understand the crucial activities that take
place on the site. So, before we started o with the presentation we held a meeting where Karthik explained us all that he saw and learnt on-site. We also had some
questions, so he got them clari ed with the team on-site. Now, +

THE COMPANY VISITED
HiMSW Ltd.
Hyderabad Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Ltd.
Chinmay:
This company, HiMSW was implemented through a Public-Private Partnership; PPP is when a public body like the GHMC, which is a municipal body of Hyderabad, and a
private body like HiMSW work together and run a project. They started this in 2009, keeping in mind that the production of waste is increasing rapidly. So, this
Partnership is responsible for the Management of Municipal Solid Waste, also called MSW, produced in the boundaries and circles of GHMC. They basically have four
major operations, those are: Collection, Transportation, Processing and Disposal of the MSW.
The GHMC pays HiMSW on a basis of TPD managed, short for Tonnes Per Day, which means, they note all the weight of the waste that is bought into this site and then
pay for it. Now, Hemamshu will explain to us about the methodology used, +

Methodology Used
Hemamshu:
Since the Project is on Understanding of the WorkFlow and Activity of waste management, majorly, a qualitative analysis and reporting was done. Quantitative Data
comparatively played a weaker role in our Conclusions.
The methodology we used to make this report is an on-site visit to take a close look at the activities along with the on-site engineers who explained to us about the
processes. This was our main and most depended approach of research and knowledge-gathering. Karthik spent some time and got our questions clari ed by pitching
our doubts and questions to the on-site engineers. We also used a newspaper article to know the public overview of this Site. Now +

The WorkFlow and Activities
Hemamshu:
Hemamshu:
The rst stop, the Weigh Bridge, this is a crucial point in the work ow, as mentioned earlier by Chinmay, the GHMC pays HiMSW on a basis of TPD, tonnes per day. So,
this the point where the waste transport vehicles are weighed for knowing the weight of the waste they’re bringing into the site. GHMC monitors this process
electronically. From here Karthik will takeover+

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
Karthik:
The process starts o by the transport vehicles dumping them on a tipping oor. Small Sized JCBs are used to mount the waste onto a screening machine. This
screening machine is of a 100mm size. Screening is a process where the waste is separated with respect to size. A 100mm screening separates waste articles of less
than 100mm from waste articles of 100mm+ size. Most of the organic matter in the MSW is below 100mm in size, so, all the <100mm waste articles are diverted to a
Compost WasteFlow. Compost is nothing but organic matter turned manure, compost is made by the decomposing of organic matter. Compost is used as a fertiliser in
agriculture.
The waste articles of 100mm+ size goes through a brief manual segregations where manual labour picks up recyclables like glass, metals, etc. and then the rest of it
goes to RDF waste ow, RDF is short for Refuse Derived Fuel. RDF is nothing but a fuel, just like how wood is fuel. RDF is made out of MSW through various processes.

Karthik:
After Several Days of Turning and Aerobic Decomposition, The probable Compost is Screened
(16mm and 35m); this is to eliminate non-organic matter which wouldn’t have been broken down.
Probable Compost WasteFlow
Now, the rejects are probable RDF WasteFlow; and the broken down organic waste is Packed
and sold as Compost after curing and other processes.
This is where the Compost
WasteFlow Ends; packaged and sold.

Dheekshith:
So, this is a brief graphical representation fo the WasteFlow. The starting point is MSW, Municipal Solid Waste. MSW goes through an initial screening of 100mm,
100mm+ waste is sent to RDF section, 100mm- is sent to compost section. The 100mm- waste goes through various processes which breaks down the organic matter
due to decomposition which reduces the size of organic matter even more. So now, all that windrowed waste is screened through a 35mm screening; anything that is
35mm+ is generally inorganic since it didn’t breakdown into smaller articles; this 35mm+ is then sent to RDF section. The 35mm- is mostly organic, so it is further turned
into compost through various processes. RDF is segregated and is gone through various processes, and anything that has high calori c value sent to RDF and other
articles which are we are a bit wet and that don’t burn well are sent to a scienti c land ll. Now, Kushal will explain about the Scienti c LandFill

Scientific Landfill
and Capping
MANAGED BY VENKAT RAO AND DAVID
Kushal:
Earlier, waste was just dumped on direct soil without any treatment and proper protocols. This method harms the soil and the surrounding natural habitat due to the toxic
leachate that seeps. But nowadays, the land lls have become much more safer. Before dumping waste, the soil is tested and is then lined up with thick layers of HDPE
Sheets to not let the Leachate to seep into the soil. pipelines are in place to collect the leachate and transfer to leachate treatment plants. The waste is heaped over and
over forming a hill-like structure. After reaching a certain height, which usually takes 5 to 6 years, the capping process starts. They rst cap all the waste hill with soil and
then add thick layers of HDPE layers to not let the methane escape which is dangerous. So, they put methane collection points in the waste hill and then use the
methane as fuel in the site. Now, over to Gopikrishna who will talk about leachate treatment…+

Leachate
Treatment
MANAGED BY SANDEEP
GopiKrishna:
Good Afternoon everyone, I’m gopikrishna, roll no. 77, I’ll be talking about Leachate and its treatment process.
Leachate is formed when all the moisture in the dumped MSW seeps to the bottom of the land ll carrying all the toxic and dissolvable compounds with it forming a pool
at the base of the land ll is called leachate. This Leachate is a very harmful substance; it destroys all the natural habitat around it because it is seeped into the soil and
further into the ground water polluting the source of water for humans and plants or trees. Hence, this leachate should be treated. This site currently uses RO technology
to treat the leachate along with other general sewage treatment methods like, sludge removal, sedimentation, etc.

Waste To Energy
Power Plant1
CIVIL: SANJIB ADITYA; FUNCTIONING: CHAMARTHI

Telangana Today. https://telanganatoday.com/telangana-gets-biggest-waste-to-
energy-plant
Kiran Reddy:
HiMSW was sanctioned the approval to build a WasteToEnergy PowerPlant in 2013 for a capacity of 19.8MW. A waste to energy power plant is basically just like a
thermal power plant, the fuel used is not coal, but dry waste. This power plant incinerates the waste and produces heat that heats up the water helping it turn into high
pressure steam; and this steam runs the turbine generator generating electricity.
1. Saves a lot of space otherwise occupied in Land ll; which means, all the waste that would’ve been dumped in a huge land ll, is now burnt and turned into ash and
inert substances that occupy very less space. This almost saves 90% of the space in a land ll.
This WTE Power plant has the capacity to burn 2400 Tonnes per day which is almost half of what Hyderabad produces per day. This is the second WTE PowerPlant in
the Country; the rst one also being built by the same company in Delhi.+

The process of this power plant goes like this :
The dried waste is mounted onto a grate or conveyer belt that goes through the combustion chamber, where all the waste is slowly incinerated and turns into ash or inert
substances. All this ash is then sent to the land lls after segregating metals. All the heat generated in the Combustion chamber heats up the water turning it into high
velocity steam which turns the turbine generating electricity. Then the steam is cooled in an ACC (Air Cooling Chamber) and sent back to the combustion chamber; this is
the brief water cycle. On-site there are abundant number of things involved, like a drum, water pump, deaerator, demineraliser, etc that we learned about but due to the
time complexion; I can only talk about the overview of it.
One more crucial aspect that this power plant needs to deal with that most of the other power plants don’t is; the exhaust gas. Which they call ue gas on site. Unlike
other power plants which have just one type of fuel that is coal or natural gas, this power plant’s fuel is a mixture of various substances, so we don’t precisely know what
kind of gasses to expect from the combustion. So this power plant has a full-on FlueGas Treatment chamber which treats the exhausts through all kinds of methods to
eliminate any kind of possibility for rare or common toxic gases to escape. The FlueGas Treatment also has innumerable aspects and technologies in it that I learnt, but
can’t elaborate here due to the time complexity.
Now, this is all bout the Waste To Energy power plant, now Deekshith will talk about the public overview and conclusions +

Public Overview2 and Our Conclusions
2. People Facing Problem with Jawahar Nagar Dumping Yard | Panchayati | Special Focus |
HMTV. (2017, June 30). [Video]. YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=uoGQ45wT6BU
Deekshith:
The public overview about this project is that, overall, it’s a good and necessary project for a municipality like GHMC. But it’s not very good for the citizens who reside by
this site. The residents have complained to the media houses and police stations that they are facing issues living and moving around the area. They have also mentioned
that the Leachate is polluting their groundwater spoiling their health.
It is understandable that no house owner would like to live nearby a dump yard or a waste management site. But, the problems they are facing are due to the
irresponsibility and the mistakes done by the previous management (GHMC) where they didn’t use any scienti c methods to land ll, they just used to dump the waste on
direct soil without any safety precautions.
This project is a necessary evil, someone has to mange the waste of Hyderabad somewhere; Jawhar Nagar or Gandipet, wherever the area maybe, there will be
problems; we just have to solve them and prevent future ones. HiMSW, keeping the public overview in mind, started Capping 136+ acres of land ll with technologies that
Kushal explained to prevent the odour and leachate from escaping.
The conclusion we came to is that; we think this is a very good project; projects like these are quintessential. It’s a great thing that; to realise early that the Hyderabad’s
waste production is increasing at a multifold level, and to plan for a Municipal Waste Management system, and to convince the govt. to sanction a project like this is what
makes the country run forward.
Now, Chinmay will talk about the future scope of this Site…+

Future Scope of the Company
Chinmay:
1. all the old and rickety garbage trucks will be replaced with advanced compactors in the city; technology enabled Fleet of high-capacity waste collection, containment,
and transport vehicles to have been deployed in the city.
2. the entire transfer stations should be operated in closed sheds to avoid inconvenience to residents.
3. Fully mechanised Secondary Collection and Transport Points (SCTPs) located across the City.
4. GHMC is setting up 90 mini Collection and Transfer Points (CTPs) and of these 10 have already been set up.
5. The Fleet that has been deployed is based on large capacity (35 GVW) Benz vehicles with fully integrated IOT sensors,
telemetry and advanced safety systems such as Driver Awareness System and numerous other safety and e ciency innovations.
7. Reclamation and alternative use of existing dump sites: at Jawaharnagar, Fathullaguda, Sahamshiguda, and Gandhamguda.
Thank You
