The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has commenced trial runs for its expansive construction and demolition (C&D) waste plant in Burari, marking a significant step in waste management efforts. Boasting a daily waste processing capacity of 2,000 tonnes, the plant is set to become fully operational next month, catering to the waste disposal needs of both government agencies and local residents in the area.
According to officials, the state-of-the-art facility will serve six zones, including Civil Lines, Paharganj, and Karol Bagh. Government agencies will have the option to deposit their waste for processing, subject to payment of the requisite processing fees. Private entities can also utilize the plant's services by paying transportation and processing charges from their respective locations. Notably, the MCD will only incur transportation costs when disposing of waste from its sites since the land and project are implemented on a public-private partnership (PPP) basis.
This latest addition in Burari marks the fourth C&D waste plant operated by the MCD. The existing plants located at Shastri Park, Bakkarwala, and Ranikhera process 1,000, 1,000, and 1,500 tonnes of waste per day, respectively. With all four plants operating at full capacity, the MCD will be able to process a staggering 5,500 tonnes of waste daily, equivalent to 1.5 lakh tonnes per month and 18 lakh tonnes per year, which closely aligns with the city's waste generation rate of 20 lakh tonnes per day.
Officials have identified a site near the Okla waste-to-energy plant for the establishment of a fifth plant, with a potential daily capacity of 1,000 tonnes. This site was made available after the successful biomining of legacy waste at the Okhla landfill. The project has received anticipatory approval from the mayor, and the MCD plans to release the request for proposal (RFP) in the near future.
Mayor Shelly Oberoi, who visited the Burari plant, provided insights into its features and capabilities. Encompassing an area of 7 acres, the plant is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery utilizing advanced Irish technology for integrated wet and dry waste processing. As the largest C&D waste plant in Asia, it incorporates environmentally friendly technologies from around the world. Notably, it achieves a water reuse rate of 90-95% and generates zero wastewater. The plant also features remote monitoring, control, and optimization capabilities through a centralized command and control centre. Furthermore, it effectively converts C&D waste into sand while adhering to environmental norms, ensuring zero air pollution and minimal noise levels.
Highlighting the plant's advanced technologies, the official stated that it produces various grades of output materials with exceptional precision. These materials, derived from C&D waste, include stone aggregates, coarse sand, and reclaimed soil. They are utilized in the production of tiles, CC Blocks, and interlocking paver blocks, contributing to sustainable construction practices.
The establishment of this cutting-edge waste management facility in Burari signifies a significant stride toward efficient and eco-friendly waste processing and reinforces Delhi's commitment to environmental sustainability.
