Municipal solid waste processing technologies and Solar power plants. Hyquip’s strength is in its ability to innovate and develop new technologies and adopt latest technologies to meet and exceed customer expectations and in this journey has received many national and international awards. In MSW processing technologies, sustainability is the important factor where the service provider has to sustain
Hyquip’s focused approach over the years has addressed the reliability of machinery, restricting the usage of mobile equipments (whose operational costs are high) shredding of non-biodegredable materials at a lower power cost per ton, as well as drying, to increase the calorific value of the product. With these solutions and added feature of remote data control management of the plant operations, has made Hyquip the forerunner in MSW processing technologies.

WINDROW COMPOSTING Windrow aerobic method of composting is ideal for processing medium to large quantities of waste and requires comparatively lower CAPEX than any other process. The municipal solid waste is suitable for composting because of the presence of high percentage of biodegradable organic matter, acceptable moisture content and C/N ratio in the waste. The windrow row composting is a aerobic process wherein the organic material breaks down into carbon dioxide, water, minerals and stabilized organic material, while carbon dioxide and water are released into the atmosphere, minerals and organic matter gets converted into compost.

In windrow system, waste is formed into long windrows that are turned by mobile machines periodically to maintain a stable temperature and decomposition, where water is sprayed to maintain appropriate moisture content. These simple windrow system where it is turned by machines to aerate can be replaced with a little more sophisticated system, which has a network of pipes that force air into the windrows are called “Aerated windrow systems�.
The success of windrow composting plants depend on the following factors: Reliability of the machinery: Hyquip’s engineering expertise of over 30 years helped in building highly reliable processing machinery, as otherwise the frequent break downs disrupt the process and becomes extremely difficult to handle continuous stream of incoming waste. Reduction in operational costs: The two main factors, power and fuel of mobile equipments contribute 70% of the operations cost of the plant. Hyquip has introduced highly efficient drives (98%) replacing the conventional industry standards which reduces power consumption upto 20%, thereby resulting in savings of Rs. 120/ton of compost produced. For the first time “Auto loaders” are introduced at feeding zones replacing front end loaders which saves approximately Rs. 20/Ton of waste processed. Windrow management: The equipment used for turning determines the size, shape and spacing of the windrows and its effective aeration depends on its porosity. While the large size windrows create aerobic zones in the centre which releases odour when turned and small windrows lose heat quickly and do not achieve temperatures high enough to evaporate moisture and kill pathogens and weed seeds. Hyquip can advice on the optimal configuration of the windrow, turning frequency and selection of equipments. Odour control : Auto Loader at feeding zones
Odours are a typical nuisance and most often result in public outcry and closure of plants. Hyquip for the first time is introducing ‘BioStreme’ an all natural micro nutrient formulation which when sprayed during windrow composting operations suppresses odour producing biological processes while promoting beneficial microbes that aggressively aid in decomposition of organics. Data management system : With Hyquip’s patented software the plant operations data like incoming waste quantity, production of compost and RDF, quantity of inerts sent to scientific landfill can be remotely monitored and controlled.

AUTO COMPOSTING Hyquip is introducing auto composting technology into the country, designed to compost small to medium amounts of “Source Separated Organics�, where odour free and zero leachete are guaranteed. Hyquip’s auto composting technology is designed to process Source Separated Organics from hotels, institutions, canteens, convention centres, restaurants, resorts and kitchen waste from house holds, sewerage sludge, absorbent hygiene waste and waste from slaughter houses. Hyquip offers a complete integrated solution from waste collection, pre-processing and sorting through to composting and sale of end-product. These plants are completely enclosed and are the only composting systems in the world supplied with a contractual odour free guarantee. This technology is simple to operate, requires minimal

space, low labour, negligible maintenance costs and is leachete free. This makes it a compelling proposition for processing of organic waste, as environmental regulations continue to tighten. The ability to compost organic waste at site and then utilise the compost produced offers organisations like large corporates, farms, universities, zoos, breweries... the ability to truly close-the-loop. The processing capability is from 2 to 12 tons/day of SSO, any configuration to suit the waste generation requirement of the area and can be installed in as small area as 2000 sq.yds. in parks, existing transfer stations without disturbing the neighbour with any odour or leachete.
Sludge Composting: The sludge composting can be seamlessly integrated into the operations of a waste water treatment plant producing a stable odour free organic material, as sludge can cause odour and contains pathogens that can spread disease if not effectively disinfected and handled. On site composting of sludge not only reduces transpotation costs but also avoids land disposal of sludge which is becoming increasingly restricted and costly due to environmental concerns. As most of the WWTPs lack space, Hyquip’s compact auto composting system offers the ideal solution backed by contractual odour free guarantee.
Environmental benefits: For companies and organisations looking to reduce their carbon foot print on site or close to waste generation, composting has shown to reduce GHG emissions by approximately 1.0 ton of CO2 equivalents per ton of organic waste processed, when compared to landfill with gas emission capture. Compost produced can be bought by these large institutions and can be used for gardens and lawns which reduces irrigation and fertilizer needs by as much as 50%.
Compost can also be donated to communities, farmers growing organic crops as a social cause which are becoming increasingly popular in urban areas. Processing waste on-site or close to waste generation reduces movement of trucks thereby helps in reduction of carbon emissions. This composting system eliminates food as a source of odour and nuisance, and waste is processed as it is produced generating a stable product which is environmental friendly.

SCIENTIFIC LANDFILL The science of managing waste has come a long way since the days of unlinned “garbage dumps�. Today we are not only working to provide safe and environmentally sound long term waste disposal facilities, but are also continuously improving our technology.
The key elements of a typical municipal solid waste landfill are: r
The residue of windrow composting plants, waste to energy plants, street sweepings and drainage silt are only allowed to go into the landfill.
r
The landfill area is covered by a geomembrane prior to that a prepared sub grade and a compacted clay layer is formed.
r
The liner also includes a network of pipes to collect leachete and send it for proper treatment and disposal. Capping of SLF

r
At the end of the working day, a six inches of cover material is placed over the waste deposited that day. This helps to control litter, odour and also compacts the waste.
r
Waste is deposited in small portion of a landfill called cells. When one or more cells reach their capacity, an engineered cap system is installed and natural vegetation is planted on top. The cap stabilizes and protects the structure, prevents errosion, keeps precipitation out of the landfill and provides a stable long term cover.
r
An engineered capping system is installed when a landfill reaches its capacity. This provides a secure, long term cover and includes a drainage layer to prevent excess water from entering the landfill. A SLF converted into a Golf course
