Turning Human and Food Waste into Reusable Energy in a Multilevel Apartment Using IoT

Abstract

In this world, most of the industry only looks for manufacturing things as a product. However, they are not giving any solution to reuse or recycle their product once its lifetime is over. It makes most of us throw the waste in public bins. This disposal led to environmental disturbances and created more headaches for the public and privates. Similarly, at our home, each of us does food, plastic, and rejected waste that leads to a big problem in the house and also in public bins. If we have a disposal unit at our premises for recycling the waste that makes the environment healthy, so we should make a mandate disposal unit compulsory in all buildings. The energy demand of India will be doubled in 2040, so it leads to the energy scarcity problem. Demand for energy also increased many filed like agriculture, industry, cooking, and education. The government has introduced the non-conventional energy scheme to generate power and use, like solar energy, windmill energy, tidal energy, geothermal energy, and biomass energy. The biomass energy conversion process takes cattle waste and converts to methane gas that can be used for energy generation. However, human waste to energy conversion process is still in an underdeveloped process. The present study proposes to collect human and food wastage from each apartment in the multi-level apartment into a traditional drum, and input of wastage is noted. Then the proposed digester unit process to produce biogas and based on the individual input noted it supply variable amount of gas is provided to each house. This opportunity allows multi-apartment tenants to get better energy and nutrients from human and food waste by implementing the prosed system of human waste gathering, treatment, and disposal at a multi-apartment. So by this, every apartment disposal unit can produce biogas for daily electricity and kitchen purposes.
