Electrically controlled artificial system for organic waste management using Black Soldier Flies with IOT monitoring

Abstract

Waste produced in a country is broadly categorized in two types, firstly organic waste and the other inorganic waste. Organic waste is harmful to human race, as when left untreated releases harmful gases like carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen sulphide, combination of these gases is called march gas. Marsh gas penetrates underground with rainwater polluting underground water belt thus treatment of organic waste is very essential. The common techniques used in organic waste management are dumping waste in landfills, burning waste. At industrial level waste is treated through incineration, fast fermentation, composting, biogas chambers and black soldier flies (BSF). Organic waste management with the help of black soldier flies, is a technique which does not produce any toxic end product like all the other techniques which can harm the environment. BSF technique is not very popular as a lot of human involvement is required in the process thus to overcome this an electrically controlled artificial system for organic waste management using black soldier flies with IOT monitoring is designed. The system involves minimum human interaction by artificially providing environment conditions for survival of black soldier flies larvae which are responsible for organic waste treatment. The whole system can be monitored using IOT from anywhere in the world. The monitoring of the system is done with the help of sensors. The end product of the system is not toxic for environment rather it can produce income by selling the end product as a food for other animals and fertilizer for crops.
