First biogas plant for waste management unveiled on World Environment Day in Maharashtra’s Ulhasnagar | Mumbai News – Times of India

ULHASNAGAR: On the occasion of World Environment Day today, the first Waste Management Bio Gas Plant in Ulhasnagar city was unveiled by the city’s BJP MLA, Kumar Ailani, and BJP Ulhasnagar District President, Rajesh Vadhrya.This bio gas plant was built by the developer in a private Regency Antilia complex. The waste from hundreds of flat holders living in the complex will no longer go to the municipal corporation’s dumping site. Instead, it will be processed in this bio gas plant built within the complex. Through this process, bio gas and electricity will be produced, which will be used to operate the plant and meet the electricity needs for other utility services installed in the complex.Mahesh Agrawal, Chairman of Regency Group, said that this plant is the first bio gas plant in Ulhasnagar city. Through it, they will collect the wet waste from the houses in their complex, where thousands of people live, and process it to make bio gas and electricity.Vadhrya stated that this plant can process 4,000 kg of waste per day. The gas generated will run the entire plant, and 200 to 250 units of electricity will be generated daily, allowing the utilities inside the complex to run efficiently. Additionally, cow shed dung located in the complex will also be used to produce gas in this plant.BJP MLA Kumar Ailani appealed to other housing complexes in the city to come forward and install such plants to save the environment.
