PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT

Expansion of Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management Facility

at Turmuri Village, Belgaum, Karnataka

1. Executive Summary

Belgaum City Corporation appointed Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited (REEL) to design,

construct, operate and maintain the ‘Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management

Facility’ for scientific disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generated in Belgaum.

REEL established the Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management Facility in an area

of 26.7 hectares at Survey No. 19, 40/1/2 & 42, Vengurla road, Turmuri Village, Belgaum

District, Karnataka. State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority, Karnataka

issued Environmental Clearance for the existing facility vide Letter No. SEIAA: 116: IND:

2008 dated 11.12.2009. REEL has been operating the existing facility by scientifically

managing the municipal solid waste generated in Belgaum City. REEL proposes to

expand the treatment capacity of the existing facility from 100 TPD to 450 TPD, to meet

the present and future requirements and to upgrade the existing treatment schemes.

After the proposed expansion, the Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management

Facility will have the following key components: Compost Facility – up to 300 TPD (for

recovery of organic material), Refuse Derived Fuel Facility – up to 150 TPD (for recovery

of material with high calorific value), Material Recovery Facility (for recovery of

recyclables) – up to 10 TPD, and Sanitary Landfill – up to 200 TPD (for disposal of inerts).

The proposed facility will manage different kinds of waste generated in the service area,

including residential, commercial, institutions, hotels & restaurants, markets, marriage

halls, gardens, parks, and non-hazardous industrial wastes, etc.

Water requirement for the facility will be around 25 KLD and it will be met through

existing bore well within the facility. Power requirement for the facility will be upto 350

kVA and it will be supplied by State Electricity Board. DG set(s) of 350 kVA capacity will

be used for emergency power backup.

Adequate measues will be taken up for leachate management. Effective leachate after

recirculation for compost facility, dust suppression, etc. will be treated in Reverse



Osmosis unit with pre-treatment followed by Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE) and

Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) system. Wastewater generated from domestic usage,

floor wash, vehicle wheel wash, etc. will be treated in wastewater treatment plant

consisting of MBBR and UF system. No wastewater will be discharged outside the

facility.

It is estimated that it will take upto 12 months for execution of the proposed expansion.

The capital cost for the proposed expansion of the project is estimated to be up to Rs. 40

Crores. About 60 skilled and unskilled employees will be employed for the project

operation.

2. Introduction of the project / Background information

2.1. Identification of Project

As per MoEF&CC Notification of S.O. No. 1533, dated 14th September 2006 and

subsequent amendments, the project falls under the project activity 7(i) Common

Municipal Solid Waste Management Facility (CMSWMF). As the project is located around

1.4 km from the Karnataka – Maharashtra inter-state boundary and as it attracts

‘General Condition’, the project falls under Category ‘A’ and requires Environmental

Clearence from MoEF&CC.

2.1.1. Project Proponent

Belgaum City Corporation has appointed M/s. Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited (REEL),

Hyderabad to execute the project. REEL has constructed and currently operating the

Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management Facility (IMSWM) facility at Turmuri

Village, Belgaum District, Karnataka.



2.2. Brief description of the nature of the project

Due to increase in population and to develop Belgaum as Smart City under Swatch

Bharath Mission, Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited is proposing to expand the existing

Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management Facility to handle 450 TPD on behalf of

Belgaum City Corporation.

The proposal is to obtain Environmental Clearence from MoEF&CC, for expansion of

existing integrated municipal solid waste management project at Turmuri Village,

Belgaum District, Karnataka to process the municipal solid waste generated in Belgaum

City. The facility will consist of Compost Processing Facility (Recovery of Organics),

Material Recovery (Recovery of Recyclables), Refuse Derived Fuel, Sanitary Landfill

(Disposal of Inerts).

7 Man power requirement 60 persons

8 Power requirement 350 kVA

9 Total project cost Rs. 40 Crores

2.3. Need for the project and its importance to the Country and State

Indiscriminate and open burning of wastes results in air pollution. Indiscriminate

dumping of waste and leachate from waste dumpsites, and contaminated lands leads to

land pollution, surface water contamination, and ground water contamination. Also, a

significant delay between waste generation and final disposal results in odour nuisance,

environmental degradation, fly and rodent infestation etc.

It is highly necessary to expand the Integrated MSW Management Facility with



provisions such as recovery of organics (Composting), recovery of recyclables (Materials

Recovery Facility, MRF), recovery of high calorific value waste (Refuse Derived Fuel,

RDF), and disposal of inerts (Sanitary Landfill).

2.4. Demand – Supply gap

The present capacity of the existing IMSW facility is 100 TPD and only 100 TPD waste is

processed. Due to increase in population and future development in Belgaum City it is

expected that the city will generate around 450 TPD of municipal solid waste by 2030.

Hence there is a demand in processing the municipal solid waste for recovery of valuable

products.

2.5. Import Vs. Indigenous production

The existing facility is processing municipal solid waste generated from Belgaum city.

After the expansion, the facility will produce compost and RDF as valuable products.

2.6. Export Possibility

The compost is utilized by the farmers, within India. No exports have been done from

the IMSWM facility.

2.7. Domestic/ Export Markets

The compost generated is marketed through the Agricultural Produce Market

Committee (APMC), horticulture department and other government schemes. The RDFs

will be sent to cement industries as fuel.

2.8. Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project

Around 60 skilled and unskilled labours were required for the facility.

3.4. Size and Magnitude of Project

The existing IMSWM facility is handling 100 TPD of municipal solid waste generated in Belgaum

city. Considering the future population of the city and some factor of safety, the Integrated

MSW Facility will be expanded to handle about 450 tons of MSW per day (450 TPD).
