Input materials Organic materials like kitchen waste. Organic materials like kitchen waste.
Output materials The Aindri Plant generates Biogas which Organic waste composters generate
can further be converted to cooking gas or compost, which can be used as a natural
electricity. Additionally the plant generates a fertiliser for plants.
nutrient-rich byproduct called digestate,
which can be used as fertiliser.
Environment Meets the Solid Waste Management and Meets Solid Waste Management Mandate
Clearance and Green Renewable Energy Mandate, therefore only
Building Certifications saves additional CAPEX cost for Solar
Panels
Environmental impact 1. Effective Waste Management OWC cannot capture the gases released
2. Avoid Waste from going to landfills into the environment, thus leading to
3. Reduce Carbon Footprint emissions into the environment.
4. Use biogas for cooking or produce
green electricity
Costs 500 Kg Plant (Electricity Variant) 500 Kg Excel Industries OWC machine
= Rs. 20 lakhs + GST = Rs. 15 Lakhs

500 Kg Plant (Gas Variant)
= Rs. 16 lakhs + GST
Operation Time Continuous processing allows for Waste is treated batch-wise, requiring 5
uninterrupted operation. (2-3 hrs per day) hours per day of operation time
Waste Accumulation Continuous processing prevents waste Batch processing results in accumulation
accumulation and minimises odour concerns of waste for longer periods, potentially
leading to odour issues
Electricity Generation Produces electricity as a byproduct Electricity generation may not be a feature

COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
Crusher 3 HP crusher
Crusher is used to make a slurry.
Wet waste along with equal amounts of water (1:1) is
added into the crusher.
Feed Tank with Pump After crushing, the slurry is collected in the feed tank and
a pump which is inside the tank is used to transfer the
slurry into the digester.
Compressor Power - 2 HP
Used to aerate the digester for 10-15 mins each day
Changeover Switch + Control Panel with VFD Regulate the current generated for captive consumption
Slurry Overflow Tank with Pump This system includes a solid-liquid separator that
effectively separates solid manure, which is in the form of
a paste, from the liquid portion. The solid manure is
collected on top and can be easily scooped.
Approximately 18-25 kg of solid manure is generated
each day..
Pump is used to transfer the liquid back into the crusher
which forms a cyclic process.
