A Study on Municipal Solid Waste Management

In India, the worst problem is population. In day-by-day it is increasing along with that construction sites or buildings also increase. This is affected to the free space. For doing the construction people cuts the trees and finishes the forest. People also occupy the place which is reserve for the waste management. So that we are doing the project on Solid waste management. There are various methods to manage the waste. In our project we use the technique called Pyrolysis. In pyrolysis process consist of both simultaneous and successive reactions when carbon rich organic material is heated in a non-reactive atmosphere. Pyrolysis is the thermal degradation of organic materials in the absence of oxygen. The main products obtained from pyrolysis of municipal wastes are a high calorific value gas (synthesis gas or syngas), a biofuel (bio-oil or pyrolysis oil) and a solid residue (char). Pyrolysis can be performed at relatively small-scale which may help in reducing transport costs and handling costs.
