Solid waste refers to any discarded materials that are not liquid or gas. It encompasses a wide range of items, from everyday household trash to industrial, commercial, and construction debris.
Solid waste pollution contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change and environmental damage
Improper disposal of solid waste contaminates land and water resources, serious health and ecological risks.
OREX is SFC’s proprietary innovation, designed to efficiently separate biodegradable organics from inorganic materials and lignocellulosic fibres from mixed municipal waste. OREX automatically segregates mixed municipal waste into organic (wet) and inorganic (dry) fractions in a single step reducing the need for manual oversight, translating into lower ongoing operational costs and promotion of reuse.
OREX is a multi-stage system designed to extract maximum organics from the mixed waste and preparation of de-gritted organic slurry for downstream digesters resulting into homogenous pulped slurry having >98% biodegradable material, largely free of contaminants and non-biodegradable fractions which enhance the bio-methanization process inside digesters. This technology is particularly adept at processing the typical municipal solid waste found in India, which characteristically includes a diverse mix of bio-waste, inerts, textiles, glass, wood, metal, rubber, plastic, paper, and miscellaneous items.
SFC effectively manages solid waste through Hindustan Waste Treatment in North Goa and Vasudha Waste Treatment in South Goa.
It is SFC’s innovation designed to efficiently separate biodegradable organics from inorganic materials (e.g., plastic) and lignocellulosic fibres from mixed municipal waste.
Our in-house technology has capability to yield more than 150 Nm3 of biogas per ton of organic waste, higher than the industry average of 80-100 Nm3 per ton.
Achieved 150+ Nm³/ton biogas yield from organic waste at our North Goa plant last year, surpassing the industry average of 100-120 Nm³/ton, showcasing exceptional efficiency.
Transforming digestate from organic fermentation into high-quality compost enhances its marketing improves price realization for the compost produced.
With OREX technology, we maximize recyclable recovery through advanced municipal solid waste processing, ensuring superior efficiency and sustainability.
Dry waste, or Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), with a calorific value of 3,000-3,500 Kcal/kg, serves as an energy-efficient alternative fuel for power generation or replacing coal in cement plants.
