Optimization of Organic Waste Collection for Generation of Bio Gas using IoT Techniques

Abstract

India is facing some major challenges in waste collection, segregation, transportation, treatment and disposal. Hence, there is a need to spread awareness about waste disposal and define better waste management techniques in India. The purpose of this paper is to utilize Internet of Things for waste management and optimized collection of wet (biodegradable) waste to produce bio-gas. It focuses on improving the current waste management system by using ultra-sonic sensors, Arduino-UNO and EC-GSM. Collection and segregation of waste in an optimized way is necessary because wet waste can be useful in producing bio-gas which in turn can be used to produce clean electricity and natural gas. Lastly, the paper also gives emphasis on cost analysis of this method to calculate revenue generation.
