Energy
Recovery From Industrial And Commercial Wastes
India
is a fast growing developing economy with a GDP growth rate of 6–7%. Rapid
industrialization has resulted
in the generation of huge quantity of wastes, both solid and liquid, in
industrial sectors such as sugar, pulp and paper, fruit and food processing,
sago / starch, distilleries, dairies, tanneries, slaughterhouses, poultries,
etc. Despite requirements for pollution control measures, these
wastes are generally dumped on land or discharged into water bodies, without
adequate treatment, and thus become a large source of environmental pollution
and health hazard. This problem
can be mitigated through the adoption of effective waste management systems
and waste-to-energy conversion technologies.
The challenge of effective waste treatment and disposal, as well as
serious concerns about the contribution of wastes to methane generation and
Global Climate Change have placed further emphasis on the development of
effective waste to energy systems worldwide.
In India, too, several initiatives have been taken on various aspects
including R&D, pilot plants / demonstration, dissemination, promotion and
commercialization.
A
total
of 34 projects from energy recovery from a Variety
Of Industrial
Wastes
with an aggregate capacity of about 58 MWeq.
have been installed as on September 2007 in the country.

The
Ministry has notified a Scheme namely, Accelerated
Programme on Recovery of Energy/ Power Generation from Industrial and
Commercial Wastes and Effluents
for the year 2005-06 with the following objectives:
to harness the available potential by 2017.
A list of Technology
Institutions and Consultants/ Consultancy
Organisations
involved
in installation of Waste to Energy projects and
Waste-To-Energy
Technology Providers/ Suppliers in India have been compiled for
reference of the various stakeholders working in this sector.
The list is, however, as per the information available in the Ministry.
Many of the suppliers listed, have not demonstrated their technologies
yet and are only looking for such an opportunity.
The implementing agencies / beneficiaries, therefore, need to ascertain
about their experience/ ability in demonstrating the technologies before
taking up commercial projects.
Brief
On Projects Based On Energy Recovery From Industrial Wastes
(i)
Distillery waste
About 15000 cum. biogas per day being produced from biogas plants installed
for treating distillery wastewater (Spent wash) at M/s K M Sugar Mills
(Distillery) Faizabad, U.P. is being utilized for generating power through
steam-turbine route since the year 1997-98.
The generated power is being used for meeting the total electricity
requirement of the distillery as well as that of the residential colony.
The project has been performing satisfactorily for last eight years and
has been generating about 4 lakh units of electricity every month leading to a
saving of about Rs. 15 lakh per month. The
payback period for such a project works out to about 3-4 years
In
another project, about 24000 cum. biogas per day is being produced
from biogas plants on treating the distillery wastewater (Spent wash)
at M/s. Kanoria Chemicals and Industries Ltd., Ankleshwar, Gujarat.
The gas is being utilized for generation of power required for their
captive use since 1998-99.
The
project is based on two IC engines, each of 1 MW capacity fuelled by
only biogas. The waste
heat of
the flue gases from the engines, which is at a
temperature of
more
than 500oC,
is also being utilized for generation of about 1.5 tonne per hour
steam at about 130oC. The steam is
used for meeting process heat requirements of the factory.
The project has been performing satisfactorily for last over
six years and has been generating about 10 lakhs units of electricity
every month amounting to a saving of Rs 40 lakh per month.
The payback period works out to about three years.

(ii) Pulp and Paper Mill
Effluent (Black Liquor)
Pulp
and Paper Industry is considered to be one of the highly polluting industries
and consumes a large amount of energy and water in its various unit
operations. The wastewater discharged by the industry is highly heterogeneous
as it contains compounds from wood or other raw materials, processed chemicals
as well as compounds formed during processing.
A biogas plant based on UP flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB)
Technology for the treatment of about 4000 cum. Black liquor per day was set
up at M/s Satia Paper Mills Ltd., Muktsar, Punjab in the year 1997-98.
About 10,000 cum. Biogas being produced by this plant is being used as
a fuel in the boiler, saving about 20-22 tonnes of rice husk costing over Rs.
3.00 lakh per month. This plant also leads to other indirect benefits like
savings in electricity and chemicals required for the treatment of wastewater
through conventional activated sludge process.
In
another project, a demonstration plant for biomethanation of bagasse
wash effluent for recovery of energy has been installed at M/s
Tamilnadu Newsprint and Papers Ltd., Karur, Tamilnadu.
The plant is based on UASB technology and has been executed at
a total cost of Rs. 384 lakh. The COD and BOD removal achieved was 89% and 94% respectively
with gas production of around 0.37 cubic meter per Kg COD reduced. The
present gas generation is around 12000 cubic meter per day, which is
being used in the line mud re-burning kiln. With the current level of
gas output from the plant, 50% of the heat load of the kiln would be
met which is approximately 12-13 KL of furnace oil.
This plant also leads to the indirect benefits like savings in
electricity and chemicals required for the treatment of wastewater
through conventional process. This plant also leads to the indirect
benefits like savings in electricity and chemicals required for the
treatment of wastewater through conventional process.

A 4 MW capacity power plant based on starch
industry solid waste has been installed at M/s Vensa Biotech Ltd,
Samalkot, Andhra Pradesh who are processing around 63000
million tonnes maize and 30,000 million tonnes of Tapioca per annum
for manufacturing of liquid glucose and starch. The project is based
on starch industry waste such as Tapioca Fibre, Maize Husk and Tapioca
Stems. The waste generated after extracting starch and other
by-products has very high calorific value.
The system adopted for power generation is of direct combustion
of waste in their boiler and the steam thus generated, is fed into a
steam turbine to generate power. The plant is functioning
satisfactorily since December 2003 and the surplus power generated is
being exported to the grid.

|
(iv)
Slaughterhouse Waste
Biogas plants have been installed for treating
both solid and liquid wastes generated from slaughterhouse of M/s
Alkabeer Exports Ltd. (AKEL) at Rudraram Village in Medak district of
Andhra Pradesh. While
about 1300 cubic metre biogas is being generated from liquid wastes,
about 2500 cubic metre biogas is being generated from solid wastes.
Adoption of biomethanation technology has resulted in saving of
furnace oil as well as chemicals used for treatment of wastewater. The
sludge from the anaerobic digester is dried and is being marketed as a
nutrient rich soil conditioner. The
biogas plants have resulted in a total saving of Rs 6.00 lakh per
month.
|
|
(v)
Palm Oil Industry Waste
| A
3.0 MW power project based on Palm Oil Industry Waste has been installed
at M/s Sai Renewable Power Pvt. Ltd.
Hyderabad, A.P. The
plant is based on combustion of empty bunches devoid from palm
trees and residues of palm fruits.
These remains are rich in volatile substances and are used as a
fuel for boiler in the plant. About 100 tonnes per day of palm oil
industry waste is being used to produce 3 MW of power. The project was
commissioned in April 2004 and has been functioning satisfactory.
The power generated is being exported to grid. |
