EHC Proposal for Talacherry, Kannur,Kerala

Expression of Interest
We found that using our Patented Echo Health Center Technology we would be able to carry out Segregation of the accumulated garbage in the site and process it into products having commercial value and removal of 100% of the garbage from the site, and scientific treatment and value addition of garbage being received on daily basis in the Municipality of Talacherry. The land area, contour, terrain, sunlight and availability of ground water as well as running water are sufficient and ideal for constructing a plant of our design in the dump yard campus.

1.1. LIMITATIONS TALACHERRY

OF

THE

EXISTING

MECHANISM

IN

The process and technology used in MSW plant Talacherry has the following drawbacks: 1. Leachate generation: Owing to the very nature of the process being followed in Talacherry, leachate is generated as a natural by product. Leachate is generated both from windrow platform as

well

as

from

the

sanitary

landfills.

This

causes

great

inconvenience for the nearby residents. 2. Odor: The accelerated bio digestion causes bad odor, which invites high resistance from the nearby residents against the plant operations. 3. Rejects/Landfill: More than 70 % of the garbage (By volume) what is received everyday goes into landfills. 4. Minimal recovery of reusable plastic: The current process does not allow recovery of plastic for reuse. This is a major cause for the high volume of net reject after processing which ultimately goes in to the landfill. 1.2. HOW EHC PROPOSE TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES: 1. EHC separates the fresh garbage into Bio-Degradable and nonbio degradable. 2. The Bio degradable materials are crushed to make slurry of it, which is further allowed to degenerate in natural way. This process ensures that no foul smell is generated in the whole process. 3. Non bio-degradable particles-Mainly plastic- is separated by APSM. This allows recovery of plastic in reusable form. This reduces the need of landfill to less than 8% of the present level.

4. Since the rejects are 100% free of biological particles, the chances of generation of leachate at landfill is practically nil. 5. The leachate generated at the feeding point is reused in the process. By this it is ensured that no leachate is released out of the plant. This approach solves the issue of leachate generation which the gravest issue in the present process. 6. The bio degradable slurry is ideal to be fed into bio gas plants. This allows generation of electricity out of waste.

2. PROPOSALS

2.1 Work description Our core commitment will be: I. II. III. Installation of machineries, Segregation of garbage in to three streams, Conversion of the segregated garbage into products having commercial value and transporting them out of the site. 2.1.I Installation: The machine requires a separate built up area, inside which the entire modules are to be installed. Under installation agreement, we undertake to erect the

machines in proper working condition. Electrical wirings will be done and necessary plumbing works will also be undertaken. 2.1.II. Segregation: The mixed garbage will be fed into the machine and the garbage will be mechanically segregated into a. Plastic particles b. Organic particles with soil mix, c. Heavy materials including metals, glass, cloth, ceramics and other earthen materials The segregated plastic will be cleaned, powdered and converted in to value added products having commercial value using enclosed chamber friction process. The organic fraction will be converted into organic manure after composting (If required) The heavy material will be separated into metals, glass, cloth, ceramics, earthen materials etc. 3. PROPOSED PLANT STRUCTURE EHC is consists of a bunch of different modules: 3.1 APSM module

The core APSM ensure that the basic separation of Biodegradable and Non Bio-degradable are achieved without using any chemicals and emulated bacteria which are harmful to the environments. The bio-degradable wastes are crushed to form slurry inside the machine itself and the slurry is further composted. Leachate generated from the fresh garbage along with water is used in the process of making slurry and dipping garbage in the water. In this way, it is ensured that leachate is reused and as a result, no leachate goes out of the plant. This process is bundled to give a solution to foul odor in the site and control of flies and other insects.

By-products: The end products of eco-health center will be a. Bio manure (From 3rd month onwards)-which will be produced with the core module and b. A range of Products from crushed plastic, which require optional modules as given below:

3.2 Optional Modules- Details: 3.2. a Plastic Film Crunching Module

This module is mandatory for processing the discharged plastic from MSW. It is used for size reduction of plastic bags separated from the MSW for further processing like using them for re-in forcing the Cement & Bitumen tar for laying roads.

3.2.b Solid Strip - Casting Module This module is for converting the separated plastic in to Hard Bars in appropriate size for industrial & domestic use as per the commercial requirement. 3.2.c Tar- Mixing Module

This is to mix this plastic with Bitumen Tar for laying road and the municipality/corporation can use as much as 30% of plastic (form the waste) into the tar mix and it is experienced that it improves the life of the roads by close to 80%.

Bio Degradable slurry collection point

The carrier vehicles dump the fresh garbage on the hydraulic tipper of the APSM module. On rising, this tipper slowly discharges the items fed in to its face towards the water pit. Meanwhile the plastic waste wraps, if any, present in the garbage are cut by automatic cutting machine and the waste fall scattered in to the water. The high density material will sink in water and those with low density like plastic and organic substances will float. The elevator forklifts collect the floating material at a rate 3 ton/ hr. these materials are sent to the APSM machine.

The plastic present is the feed will be separated and dropped in the water tank. The organic matter is fed into a vibrator mesh where it is sieved and collected in a tank. Once the APSM separate the plastic, the plastic is fed into shredding machine. The Shredder cuts the plastic into near powder form. Plastic at this form is dried, packed and sent out of the plant for making value added products. 5. Financials:

As the prime pre requisite, the module need to be accommodated inside a concrete structure and the module need to be transported to the site. Cost for the same is estimated as given below:

6.1. Terms of Operation: After installing the module (Cost of which is estimated as Rs.14,00,000), the vendor will charge Rs.3000 (Rs. Three thousand only) for every 1000 kg of organic manure he transport out of the plant premise. This clause put the onus on the vendor to fulfill his commitment of converting not less than 25% of the fresh garbage feed into organic compost. All the incidental expenses related to operation will be borne by the vendor. The vendor will be the sole owner of all the by-products of the module.

7. Conclusion: APSM has been functioning successfully treating 3 TPD of mixed garbage in Kodungallur municipality since last 4 years. Till now more than 12000 tons of municipal garbage has been segregated and successfully treated by the machine. This gives STISCO the confidence that it can handle the amount of garbage accumulated in the dump yard at Talacherry.
