WASTE TO ENERGY  

Cogeneration | Biogas | Biomass Power | Biomass Briquetting | Biomass Gasifier | Wood Burning Stoves    

Overview

Wastes are generally generated in urban, municipal and industrial sectors. This is due to process of urbanization that had drastically increased industrial activities resulting  in uncontrolled growth of urban population. Due to improper waste management facilities, these wastes are polluting the environment. Technologies are now available to treat the garbage to meet the required pollution control standards and also for generating power in feasible cases.

Technology
