An eco-friendly novel technique for power generation utilising municipal waste water and sludge recycling

Abstract

Presently world is in need of more energy and drinking water due to the increase in population, industrialisation and urbanisation. Conventional sources of energy are limited, non-renewable, and health hazardous. There are verities of power plants, like thermal, hydro, wind, etc., running all around the world, however they need large infrastructure, create ecological imbalance and waste a lot of energy in form of heat, sound, etc. The present work aims to combine various power plants in a single unit system, utilising the waste energy loss, resulting augmentation in the efficiency of plant. It reduces the energy losses and provides pure drinking water from the municipal waste water. It solves the problem of solid waste treatment, because the domestic solid waste materials have been utilised to generate valuable products like oil, charcoal etc. along with power. It works continuously throughout the year, reduces infrastructures, as well as economical and eco-friendly too.
