Co-Treatment of Domestic Septage and Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Leachate Using Drythermophilic Anaerobic Digestion for The Production of Bioenergy And Bio Fertilizer

Introduction

The project aims to address problems posed by improper disposal of domestic septage and municipal solid waste landfill leachate by their co-treatment using dry thermophilic anaerobic digestion process for production of bioenergy and aerobic composting of digestate for production of biofertilizer .

State of Development

Proof of Concept

Unique Features of the Product/Technology

This anaerobic technology is specially designed for the treatment of domestic septage and municipal solid waste landfill leachate. However other organic substrates such as sewage sludge, organic fraction of municipal solid waste can be treated using this technology. The Internet of Things based remote monitoring system installed in the digester, helps in close monitoring of the digesters health and restore any issue at the earliest.

Market Potential

Domestic septage and landfill leachate are among the list of waste generated from almost all the cities in India, many countries in South-East Asia and Africa. This technology has huge potential to treat septage and leachate in eco-friendly yet economic way .
