BEL Plant to Energise Waste Management Drive in BANGLORE
BANGLORE. PSU Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) has set up an Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) based biogas plant which uses the latest biomethanation technology for converting canteen waste into sustainable, renewable energy at its Bengaluru Complex.
Installed at a cost of Rs. 40 lakhs, the new plant has the capacity to digest 2 tons of food waste generated in the factory canteen and produce a minimum of 160 Cubic Metres of bio gas per day, which is equivalent to 70 kg LPG. The biogas produced can be used to generate electricity, bio-CNG or heat.
The new plant has already helped replace about 1,800 kg of LPG used per month in the BEL factory with biogas. This has resulted in savings to the tune of Rs. 11.70 lakhs per annum for BEL. Not just that. The plant ensures an environmentally sound system of disposal of food waste, something that other industries in the city can emulate in reducing environment pollution levels. Biomethanation is the best way to process organic waste, which has a higher percentage of carbon. The anaerobic digestion technology is highly apt for dealing with the chronic problem of organic waste management in urban societies.
