Material recovery unit, depending on the level of complexity, will consist of a combination of units in varying degrees of mechanization. The unit involves Pre-sorting, Mechanical sorting, Screening, Size reduction and Baling.
Biomethanation:
Biomethanation is the anaerobic (in the absence of free oxygen) fermentation of biodegradable matter in an enclosed space under controlled conditions of temperature, moisture, pH, etc. The process involves Pre-treatment, Anaerobic fermentation, Collection of biogas and Power Generation
Composting:
Composting is a process of controlled decomposition of the organic waste, typically in aerobic conditions, resulting in the production of stable humus-like product, i.e., compost.
