3.0 Organic waste management SolutionsHorizon’s solutions for Environmental sustainability


Population growth has been found to rise exponentially in Indian cities

solid waste generation is rising in the same ratio

It is no hidden fact that waste management is poorly controlled in most of the cities

Due to urbanisation Per capita solid waste generation has increased to 0.6 kg per day

India is estimated to generate @1200 million tonnes of solid waste annually

Out of this 750 million tonnes is organic waste

3.2 General Scenario of solid waste management


3.3 Issues because of poor waste management

Unsightly looks to the metropolis Extremely hazardous to health humans, animals and plant life Stinking smell Polluted air, water and soil




3.4 Status of waste management in Pune:

Pune is one of the fastest developing city, and generates waste about 2700 metric tons per day

About 70% of this is organic biodegradable waste (about 1900 tons)

About 60% of the solid waste collected by municipal sources is unsegregated

This unsegregated solid waste is disposed at landfill site near Urali Devachi village 20 km away from pune city

The main segregation is done on site

All solid waste is land filled and sealed off permanently


http://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/32137/MPRA Paper No. 32137, posted 10. July 2011 / 15:44


PMC’s projects that by 2031, daily waste generation would reach a whopping 3,600 tonnes. Municipal solid waste management and transporting of waste from cities to garbage processing

areas is a costly service that consumes between twenty to fifty percent available operational budgets for Municipal corporations.

It is estimated that PMC presently spends around 200 crores on garbage handling & processing The dumping and landfill also occupies vast stretches of land which is also becoming a scare

resource

The main contributors for the Municipal Solid waste in Pune




Organic waste includes leaves, timber waste, vegetable extract, kitchen waste, household waste, hotels waste, fruits and juice residue

Paper waste includes paper dish, news paper, paper box, paper bags, wrapping materials (e.g. soap cover, tooth paste cover, match box cover) etc.

Plastic waste includes plastic bags, broken plastic material (e.g. mug, bucket, pipes, plastic covers, plastic wrapping material).

Metal waste includes screw, nut bolt, electronic parts, damage vehicle parts etc.

Glass waste includes broken glass materials, bear bottle, glass lamp, bulb, tube lights.

Miscellaneous waste includes all sanitary waste

Total Municipal Solid Waste



3.5 Ill effects of present methods of Waste Disposal

The Present methods are1. Landfill (burying or

filling in excavated pits is landfill

2. Incineration

Landfill


Landfill site at Uruli Devachi village

Burning

The most common problems associated with improper management of solid waste include

1. diseases, 2. odor nuisance, 3. fire hazards, 4. atmospheric and water pollution, 5. aesthetic nuisance and 6. economic losses


16

Health hazard to Human, animal and plant life There are over ten toxic gases released from landfills


3.6 Ill effects of landfill

Soil contamination and erosion

Water contamination from the liquid that drains (leaches)

Occupies land which is becoming a scarce resource (& costly) day by day

landfills disposal practices attract birds, rodents and fleas to the waste dumping site and create unhygienic conditions

Fire hazard (Also happened in Hanjer plant in Jan 2014


The Govt of India in their ‘Swatch Bharat’ campaign is encouraging disposal at source. This is to avoid a) heaps of garbage being generated b) the stinking odours associated with it c) the environmental ill effects of thesed) the costs associated with the waste managemente) Burden on government machinery

3.7 Indian Government’s of India’s Swatchh Bharat Campaign



One of the best options available to address this problem is composting the organic waste into fertilizers

Composting is the process of decomposition that turns organic materials like garden waste and vegetable food scraps into a dark, crumbly and earthy smelling material called compost.

3.8 Composting: The best option to deal with organic waste


Compost is rich in nutrients and used in gardens, landscaping, horticulture, and agriculture. The compost works as a soil conditioner, a fertilizer, and as a natural pesticide for soil. In ecosystems, compost is useful for erosion control, land and stream reclamation, wetland construction, and as landfill cover.


3.9 Cleaner Metropolis:


The Municipal bodies and the Citizens would definitely prefer their cities and residential premises to look green, neat and clean. Pune aims to become a zero-landfill city by 2015


3.10 Horizon’s organic waste management System


Horizon has developed an innovative solution to address the management of organic wastes

Horizon developed a consortium of live aerobic micro-organisms for composting organic wastes.

This ecofriendly culture helps to accelerate the organic decomposition and reduces the composting time to 8 to 12 days which normally can take 60 to 90 days.

This system is completely chemical free and the bio culture is totally harmless to human beings, animals, birds and plants.

Designed for housing societies, restaurants, and Malls The equipment design has been carried out in association with CTECH, A Sine IIT

Bombay Company. The process is designed under the guidance of scientists from reputed institutes.

Horizon believes that waste disposal is more of civic individual responsibility rather than that of municipal bodies.

Horizon also believes that segregation and processing of waste, if done at source is much simpler to handle being in very small amounts, as compared to accumulating it in dumping grounds and trying to segregate/process.

Horizon’s focus initially is on smaller systems to individual societies, hotel owners, canteens, shop/mall owners etc


1 • Collect Organic Waste on daily basis

2 •Particlisation of the Waste

3 •Treatment with HERES 704 Bioculture

4 •Two weeks of comosting

5 •Reparticlisation of Dry Lumps

6 •Vibro-screening of the compost

7 •Packaging of fine and coarse grained manure in separate bags

The main steps in this system consist of

1. The fine compost separated for indoor plants or gardening

2. The coarse material as fertilizer for farming




3.11 The major benefits of the Horizon’s system

The main benefits of this technology are-1. Very simple process of operation (no skilled labour required).2. Simple and robust equipment.3. Low cost of equipment and operation.4. Converts organic waste into high nutrient fertilizer which can be used internally or

also can be commercially sold off.5. Completely Eco-friendly chemical free process6. The users do not have to depend on local bodies for collection of garbage. Reduces

the cost and infrastructure management on Government machinery.7. Complete elimination of all wet waste with NO odours, NO sludge build up 8. In addition to Environmental Sustainability Impact , also ensures clean atmosphere

& freedom from stinking smells.9. Major discount in ‘property tax’ from the competent Government authorities

Provides the opportunity for voluntary contribution in environ sustainability and being a part of “Swatchh Bharat Abhiyan”




4.0 Fecal Waste Management

Solutions



Human waste is of high concern because of its aesthetic and environmental nuisance. Its deterioration starts even before it is discharged from the human body. Untreated human waste leads to aesthetic nuisance, contamination of food, fruits & vegetables (direct contact, flies, rodents and contaminated water, organic pollution to water bodies, water borne diseases, viral gastroenteritis, typhoid, cholera, jaundice etc. It consumes the dissolved oxygen of the surroundings resulting in disturbance of aquatic flora and fauna. It is also associated with very bad stinking smells

4.1 Fecal Waste Management Issues



Most cities in India lack the capacity to regulate treatment and processing of fecal sludge according to environmental and health standards. There is also a lack of approved sewage treatment plants (STPs) in the country to safely and effectively treat fecal sludge, if it is actually collected and able to be sent there. Presently, 95% of towns do not have the centralised infrastructure for fecal sludge processing. Only twenty-seven Indian cities have only primary treatment facilities and 49 have primary and secondary treatment facilities . Due to the lack of functioning STPs and adequate enforcement of regulations, untreated fecal sludge is disposed indiscriminately into water bodies, drains, landfills, and vacant lands India is the country with the highest number of people practicing open defecation: around 600 million people. This is 47% of India's population. Most of it occurs in rural areas where the prevalence is estimated at 65 percent of the population. In most of the higher end apartment complexes and business centers, the fecal waste is mixed with the other sanitary waste waters and later attempted to be separated in STP plants.

Conventionally, the fecal waste and other

wastewater are mixed up

4.2 Present affairs of fecal waste management


In 80% of residential houses and buildings, this waste is directly

sent to sewerage lines

In about 20% of residential houses, an attempt to

separate these two is again made at STPs


4.3 Horizon’s Bio-digester Toilets Horizon has developed some innovative solutions to handle Fecal sludge

management. It has designed a toilet system which works on anaerobic biodegradation of feces. Biodegradation is considered to be the most preferable way of treating the waste

because of its self sustainability, cost effectiveness and eco-friendliness. Horizon has developed a special microbial consortium to treat fecal waste. The system

treats the human waste and converts it into usable water and gases in an eco-friendly manner.

The system is fully chemical free technology. The major outcome of the innovation is provision of eco-friendly toilets, decrease in

number of open defecation, and consequently improved sanitation in the surrounding areas.

No sludge disposal is required and this reduces huge burden on government machinery.

Horizon has solutions for residential complexes, rural hutments, public toiletries, restaurants, Hotels corporate offices etc.

No sludge removal or connecting it to the sewage line, septic tank is required. Greatly reduces burden on government machinery. The water it generates is absolutely clear and odourless. It is full of nutrients and

minerals and is good for irrigation purposes, maintain gardens, lawns etc. The technology leads to complete elimination of pathogens present in the human

waste which are responsible for spread of water borne diseases. No dependence on the limited and costly conventional energy sources. Application of cost-effective approach, & the system is 100% maintenance free. Inoculums charging is only once during the entire life of Bio Toilet. No bad smell in toilets from the tanks No infestation of Cockroaches & flies Fecal matter in the tank not visible fro outside. No clogging of digester Effluent is free from off odour and solid waste. Designed for very long life.

4.5 Salient features and advantages of Horizon’s Bio digester toilets



5.0 Wastewater reclamation

Solutions




India accounts for 2.45% of land area and 4% of water resources of the world but represents 16% of the world population.

Total utilizable water resource in the country has been estimated to be about 1123 BCM (690 BCM from surface and 433 BCM from ground), which is just 28% of the water derived from precipitation. About 85% (688 BCM) of water usage is being diverted for irrigation.

With the present population growth-rate (1.9% per year), the population is expected to cross the 1.5 billion mark by 2050.

Due to increasing population and all round development in the country, the per capita average annual freshwater availability has been reducing since 1951 from 5177 m3 to 1869 m3, in 2001 and 1588 m3, in 2010.

It is expected to further reduce to 1341 m3 in 2025 and 1140 m3 in 2050. Insufficient capacity of waste water treatment and increasing sewage generation pose big

question of disposal of waste water. As a result, at present, significant portion of waste water being bypassed in STPs most of the

untreated waste water is unutilized and ends up into river basins. The water supply capacity of river bodies like lakes and rivers is also fast depleting due to pollution

by sewage drains and other detrimental environmental practises.

5.1 Present status of wastewater management

http://www.ais.unwater.org/ais/pluginfile.php/356/mod_page/content/111/CountryReport_India.pdf

Hence, there is an urgent need for efficient water resource management through enhanced water use efficiency and waste water recycling.





5.1 Present status of wastewater management

An estimated 38254 million litres per day (MLD) sewage is generated in major cities of India. The sewage treatment capacity is only of 11786 MLD .

Performance of state owned sewage treatment plants, for treating municipal waste water, and common effluent treatment plants, for treating effluent from small scale industries, is also not complying with prescribed standards.

Thus, effluent from the treatment plants, often, not suitable for household purpose and reuse of the waste water is mostly restricted to agricultural and industrial purposes. A – Class I cities

B – Class II cities

Pre-treatmentPre-treatment removes the materials that can be easily collected from the raw wastewater and disposed of. The typical materials that are removed during pre treatment include fats, oils, and greases (also referred to as FOG), sand, gravels and rocks (also referred to as grit), larger settleable solids and floating materials (such as rags and flushed feminine hygiene products).



Secondary treatmentSecondary treatment system employs an Aeration Tank wherein specially developed microorganism culture completely degrades organic as well as inorganic impurities in the presence of either Surface Aerators or Diffused Aeration system. It later settles out the biological flock or filter material and produce sewage water containing very low levels of organic material and suspended matter.

Tertiary treatmentThe system uses “Reverse Osmosis” process to further filter the effluent. The treated wastewater is nearly indistinguishable from waters of natural origin of drinking quality (without its minerals).


5.4 Major advantages and features of Horizon’s scheme:1. Huge amount of water reclamation – to the extent of about 80% of wastewater2. Extremely beneficial to housing societies, apartments, bungalows, residential

complexes, restaurants, malls, industries et al3. Reduces the strain on water supply to cities & towns to a very great extent4. The usage of water reclamation decreases the pollution sent to sensitive

environments.5. It can also enhance wetlands, which benefits the wildlife depending on that eco-

system. It also helps to stop the chances of drought as recycling of water reduces the use of fresh water supply from underground sources.

6. Low cost and efficient systems
