Direct current plasma arc technology has been finally signed for use by Peterborough Renewable Energy (PREL) to deal with Air Pollution Control (APC) residues created onside at EnergyPark Peterborough.
The final agreement was signed this week between PREL and plasma arc supplier Tetronics but the overall project was granted consent by the Department for Energy and Climate Change back in November 2009. It was at the end of last year when the two companies started the partnership (see Waste Management World story).
A combination of technologies will be used at the park, including a biomass from waste gasification power station, after which APC residues will be collected and transferred to the co-located Tetronics' plasma unit.

Narsi wants to know Parasitic Energy for Plasma Gasification 9 months ago
Plasma gasification is heralded to be biggest thing that happened to the waste to energy field. But I also heard that this process requires significant amount of energy for its operations...Any idea what % of energy generated by a plasma gasifier is consumed for auxiliary power?

It is an attempt. It will be successful, if the plasma torch will be bigger and eats less energy. E.g. cool small plasma generator eats 6-12 kW and produces ~0.05 cbm/min of gas mixture (n.c.) ~ 200 CC.Apologists of this method do not like speak about it. But again, this is the best method to destroy all contaminants and turn them to CO2, nitrogen, sulphur, chlorine, etc. oxides and steam.

The threat of paying millions in penalties each year means Britain urgently needs a new infrastructure to deal with its waste, according to a new report to be launched in Parliament on Tuesday.
To deal with our waste efficiently an investment of £8bn will be needed by 2020, rising to £15bn by 2030, the Associate Parliamentary Sustainable Resource Group said.
The EU can impose unspecified fines for failure to meet landfill targets, which require Britain to halve the amount of biodegradable municipal waste sent to landfill by 2013, compared with 1995 levels. By 2020, the target increases to 65pc.

Narsi wants to know Short of Funds? Maximize Composting and Recycling: The Brgy. Bagumbuhay Experience 9 months ago
Prior to the implementation of the solid waste management program in 2001, Barangay Bagumbuhay had a very serious problem in managing their waste. The garbage trucks did not regularly pick up the garbage aside from its difficulty in penetrating the too narrow streets to collect household wastes. Only four main roads out of 23 streets in the barangay are enjoying proper garbage collection, creating garbage piles filling the missed streets that produce stinky smell all over the community.
See how the community tackled it, from here - http://www.alagad.com.ph/special-cross-sectoral-concerns/73-solid-waste-management-best-practices/430-use-of-low-cost-and-local-technology-in-solid-waste-management-the-barangay-bagumbuhay-experience.htmlin MSW

The award recognizes excellence in the management of integrated solid waste management systems — a system that uses complementary facilities and programs to manage specific components of the municipal solid waste stream.
Marion County was recognised for its many innovative and unique programs, including: the collection of paints, anti-freeze, batteries, and cooking oil at the curb for recycling.

If all goes to plan Surat will be the first city in the Indian state of Gujarat to generate electricity from waste, according to a report in The Times of India.
A proposal for a 600 tonne capacity waste to energy facility that is expected to generate 12 MW of power has been made by the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC), which has invited tenders from interested companies for the project on build, own, operate and transfer (BOOT) basis

Narsi wants to know Status of Waste Segregation at Source 9 months ago
Came across an interesting report titled "Source separated waste program celebrates success in Hong Kong" - http://www.eco-business.com/news/source-separated-waste-program-celebrates-success-in-hong-kong/
"
According to the Permanent Secretary for the Environment and director of Environmental Protection, Ms Anissa Wong The domestic recycling rate in Hong Kong has increased from 14% in 2004 to 35% in 2009. Over the same period, domestic waste disposed of at landfills decreased by 15%.
The Environmental Protection Department (EPD) claims that since the launch of the Source Separation of Waste Programme in January 2005, over 1700 housing estates and 700 rural villages have signed up to join it, covering over 80% of Hong Kong’s population."
Interesting and very encouraging.
It will be great to know if there are similar success stories elsewhere in the world. Segregated waste make waste far more valuable, in more ways than one...
Am looking forward to inputs on more such instances from folks at CleanTickin MSW

Narsi wants to know CO2 Emitted from Gasification 9 months ago
Gasification of MSW produces syngas...(along with ash)...if I now use the syngas for power production, it will generate CO2 (as exhaust). Any idea what is the amount of CO2 generated per T of MSW (average value)?

Narsi wants to discuss How The Program Works: Waste To Waves 5 months ago
You probably got it when you bought a new TV, computer, or some furniture. Most cities don’t let you recycle this, and it just feels wrong to throw it into the trash can.

Divyajeychandren wants to discuss Chennai : Online garbage disposal pays off 5 months ago
http://www.kuppathotti.com- an experiment in social entrepreneurship that kicked off last month in Chennai, India, already has over 500 registered users. The idea is simple: register online, segregate household waste at source, and once a month, someone will come and pick it up from your doorstep after seeking an appointment. For parting with their recyclable waste, the customers get paid and the service is available all over the city. The segregated waste from each household is processed by Kuppathotti.com at a central godown and sold to various recyclers.

Green Technology Products and Services Is an initiative to prevent & control Pollution of natural resources and atmosphere and save the Earth for our future generations to come. We are in the business of Developing and promoting Alternative products in Bio plastics and MSWM Systems. We provide solutions to control and eliminate pollution by designing and developing Eco friendly products for a better tomorrow with an environment friendly & sustainable platform for a healthy, safe & greener earth. We look forward to be connected to all like minded members of the society and Green groups and share our knowledge and experiences for a greener, safer tomorrow. The best solution for anyone who is in waste management is collection, segregation and recycling of any recyclable waste at source. You can compost the organic kitchen waste. Earthsoul products (Bin liners and carry bags) are 100% compostable and can go into the compost pit or Bighanna mechanical Composters along with organic compostable waste collected in them. Ideally, you should collect, sort and segregate the recyclables at source & send them to the appropriate recycling agency. All organic wet waste & food waste from your kitchen should be collected in the Earthsoul compostable bags for composting. We have done this exercise in our housing colony with 72 flats very successfully and intend to put a Bighanna composter in operation soon to achieve a ZERO WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM!! "Earthsoul® products physical and chemical properties are similar to those of traditional plastics, but it is completely biodegradable in different environments, just like pure cellulose, as they are manufactured using Mater-Bi®." Earthsoul products are 100% compostable either in landfill, Compost pit/ Worm culture or BIGHANNA in vessel composters. As a consumer you should ideally put the compostable bin liners or carry bags along with the organic kitchen waste and food waste in the compost pit or in vessel composters, to be processed to very fine organic compost. You should always put materials that have any after-life value and are considered to be recyclable in separate recycle bins and all organic, kitchen wet waste and food left over’s in (compostable) into composting so that you have an ultimate, 100% sustainable "waste management" system in place. We have a very fine range of OTTO Waste management Bins, which are of proven International standards and most suitable for Municipal Solid Waste Management, Outdoor and Indoor waste management in Corporate offices, Public spaces, Airports, Malls and Cinema theaters. . A few thoughts on going green and starting from your home!! The world's annual consumption of plastic materials has increased from around 5 million tonnes in the 1950s to nearly 100 million tonnes today. Create interest and awareness among people to stay green!!! Say no to plastic bags & packaging materials in municipal waste. REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE, AND COMPOST ORGANIC WASTE AT SOURCE. Please view our websites - http://www.earthsoulindia.com, http://www.bighanna.com, http://www.ottoasiapac.com I am sure you would like to use our products and I look forward to your inquiries.

Narsi wants to discuss Testing Time for UK Landfills - Waste Mangagement World 7 months ago
Testing Time for UK Landfills - For centuries the UK has for the most part simply buried its waste, but landfills are nearly full, and attitudes and practices are changing fast. Over recent years hundreds of landfills have closed, but the organic processes at work underground have not ceased, and the need to monitor the environmental impact of these sites is moving into the digital age. Ben Messenger reports.
