Integrated Solid Waste Management System for Renewable Power Generation and Agricultural Usage

The rapid increase in municipal solid waste (MSW) has created significant challenges in waste disposal and environmental sustainability. An Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) system offers a comprehensive solution by combining collection, segregation, processing, and utilization of waste to generate renewable energy and valuable by- products for agriculture. This project focuses on designing an ISWM system capable of converting biodegradable waste into biogas through anaerobic digestion, which can be used for electricity generation and agricultural pump operation. The process also produces nutrient-rich slurry that serves as an organic fertilizer, improving soil health and reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers. Non-biodegradable waste is segregated and directed towards recycling and safe disposal, minimizing landfill requirements. By integrating power generation with agricultural applications, this system enhances energy security, promotes sustainable farming practices, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed solution not only addresses waste management challenges but also contributes to the circular economy by turning waste into a resource for clean energy and agricultural productivity.
