World’s pioneering wet waste company GAIL is all set to partner with Ranchi Municipal Corporation (RMC) to produce environment friendly fuel. They are soon looking to sign a contract to convert wet waste into biogas. Manoj Kumar- the commissioner of RMC said that the proposal has already been sent to state urban development department for consideration. Once it gets a nod from the department, the MOU will be signed between GAIL and RMC. Biogas upgradation systems are being encouraged worldwide and GAIL India Limited has sent a proposal to RMC to set-up a compressed biogas plant to manufacture biogas which would be used in automotive stations and domestic pipelines. He also added that this biogas upgradation plant will help save about Rs. 10,000 to 40,000 every month which is otherwise spent in waste transportation. Biogas upgradation plants are need of the hour. It is interesting to know that about out of over 550 tonnes of waste, 300 tonnes is wet waste and recycling of this waste will help solve many problems we have faced so far. Wet waste is inclusive of a number of items from routine life such as raw and cooked kitchen leftovers and hence it is biodegradable. This waste includes peels, wilted flowers and fruits apart from some other items. Currently all the waste is dumped in Jhiri which is about 15 kms away from Ranchi. As we all know compressed biogas is considered fuel of the future and it has the potential to replace CNG which is used in automotive, commercial and industrial sectors for various applications. It is an open secret that there is no dearth of biomass availability in our country and since compressed biogas has properties similar to CNG, this project will open new avenues for all of us.

LA County Sanitation Districts is all set to convert food waste from supermarkets and restaurants into RNG fuel for transport. The food waste includes spoiled fruit, dinner scraps, and vegetables. They have been converting food waste for electricity generation for more than 6 years and now looking to take it to another level altogether by setting up a biogas plant which will help recycle the waste. Robert C Ferrante, chief engineer and general manager at The Sanitation Districts said the RNG fuel produced by the biogas purification system will be used in cars, buses and trucks. This cost-effective solution is being welcomed by everyone. Biogas upgradation plants across the world say that it is a welcome move. The entire process is quite streamlined. Waste haulers collect food waste from their customers, and it is later delivered to the Puente Hills Materials Recovery Facility in Whittier. Special equipment at the facility is used in order to separate contaminants such as forks and plastic bags. Here, the food waste is blended into slurry. This slurry is then transported to the wastewater treatment plant in Carson which is then added to the plant’s digesters. Some of the biogas is sent to the Sanitation Districts’ Carson power plant which is used to generate electricity. This electricity is used to run the treatment plant. Some of the biogas is sent to the newly set up purification system for the purpose of RNG fuel production. It may interest you that this RNG fuel production facility can produce RNG equivalent of 2000 gallons of petrol every day. Head of the Sanitation Districts Solid Waste Management Department, Bob Asgian said that the facility manages both solid and wastewater and it is already equipped with state-of-the-art machines needed for effective food waste recycling. The need for compressed biogas plants is constantly increasing because of increasing renewable fuel generation needs. Companies manufacturing biogas plants in India say that RNG fuel is the future and hence biogas upgrading is also increasing at a rapid pace.
