This project is a first-of-its-kind pilot initiative led by the National Environment Agency (NEA), aimed at testing the feasibility of converting municipal waste into fuel for energy generation. Inorganic components such as metals and plastics are first separated from the organic waste. The remaining organic residue is then transferred into large climate-controlled bio-drying chambers, where it is left to dry over several days. Once adequately dried, the material is compacted into bricks to form Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF), which is subsequently transported to nearby incineration plants for energy production—offering a more sustainable alternative to conventional energy sources.
A notable challenge addressed in the project was the management of odorous emissions, given the nature of the facility as a waste treatment plant. To mitigate environmental impact, the design incorporated extensive consultations with regulatory authorities to develop effective air pollution control strategies. One particularly innovative solution involved the use of specially imported moist wood chips to absorb and neutralize odorous particles from the channeled foul air, significantly improving air quality in and around the site.
