EXAMINING DATA COLLECTION AND COMPILATION FOR DEVELOPING BIOGAS PLANTS FOR RECYCLED WASTE MANAGEMENT

Abstract

In this study, open disposal area, unfortunately, stills the means of open burning of solids waste in developing environment. Provide for leachate and gas control system. The untreated dumping encourages the breeding of insects and rodents and causes several health diseases, movement of leachate into the subsurface. Due to the improper lining, raw solids waste from the existing dumping site comes in contact with directly, causing severe deterioration the quality of the water. The solid waste characterization, the effect of leachate in the dumping site, groundwater quality analysis and also for 51 wards question sheet survey has been conducted that results were analyzed using SPSS 17. Various physic and chemical parameters were estimated this includes pH, turbidity, chloride, total hardness, calcium & magnesium hardness, sulphate and TDS, major cations such as calcium, magnesium ion. Everyday Thanjavur dumping ground receives 115 tones of Municipal Solid Waste from the Thanjavur city. In the part of result analysis, groundwater samples showed that dumping ground leachate constitutes a serious warning to the local aquifers. The waste generated in Thanjavur contains a maximum portion of biodegradable material, moisture content high, calorific value low and it is acceptable for biogas production. In this project, a fixed dome type biogas plant is designed because of low cost and a plan/model is recommended to improve the existing MSWM. The recommended model deals with maximize recycling and minimize landfilling of the Municipal Solid Waste. This study also has to be improved to provide efficient and effective MSWM.
