The document outlines a strategic plan for making a society, nature, and club self-sustainable by following a waste management hierarchy of avoid, reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, and dispose. It discusses initial directives such as surveying waste quantities, organizing awareness drives for segregation and recycling, adopting community bins, removing waste from drains, processing recyclables, and transporting residue to disposal sites. It also mentions analyzing campus surveys, feasibility studies for the strategic plan and a compact biogas plant, and notes benefits like separating recyclables, clean collection and transportation, saving landfill space, a clean campus, and a greener environment.
15. Benefits The municipal corporation will achieve separation of recyclable waste at source and collection and transportation of dry waste in disposal site. More over the corporation will also get rid of the waste component reaching disposal site and save proportionate land at the disposal site. Clean Campus Green Environment
FunctionalityThe system is based on a floating dome design, a proven technology for manure digestion in India andChina. It is a two stage continuous wet system. The waste gets hydrolyzed in a first stage and in asecond stage methane is produced. The reactor is constructed underground, reducing the buildingcosts, and the reactor contents flow under gravity by volume displacement. Every time the digester isfed the equal amount for reactor content will leave the digester.The biogas plant runs on kitchen waste that is pretreated (mixed with hot water that is heated up bysolar heating and pulped) and discontinuously fed (Batch-System) to the thermophilic aerobic predigester.The effluent from the pre-digester is fed to the methane reactor where biogas is produced.The effluent from the methane reactor is collected in open pits that are provided with sand filters.When the pit is filled up, the manure is taken out and spread under shade for drying. The excess waterfilters out in an underground tank and is reused in the system. (Veeken A. 2005)
