Development of an Integrated MSW Processing and Disposal Facility
at Maswasi Grant (V) Sagar (D) by Saagar MSW Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
1. Executive Summary
The current Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management system in Sagar town and ten (10)
other surrounding Urban Local Bodies, ULBs (Makronia, Banda, Khurai, Rehli, Grahakota, Bina,
Deori, Rahatgarh, Shahgarh and Shahpur) currently does not comply with Solid Waste
Management Rules, 2016. Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP), realizing the necessity of
efficient waste management system, wanted to establish an Integrated MSW processing and
Disposal Facility on Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis for management of MSW generated
in Sagar Town and 10 other surrounding ULBs.
Sagar Municipal Corporation, with an objective to set up an “Integrated Municipal Solid
Waste Management Project” on regional basis through private participation on Design Build,
part-Finance, Operate and Transfer (the “DBpFOT”) basis, adopted a one stage online
competitive bidding process, and selected “Saagar MSW Solutions Private Limited
(SMSWSPL)”, for management of MSW generated in Sagar town and 10 other surrounding
ULBs. Considering the population projection, the Project Proponent proposes to establish a
350 TPD Integrated MSW Processing and Disposal Facility in Sagar Town with facilities such
as Composting/Dry Fermentation (for recovery of organics), Materials Recovery Facility (for
recovery of recyclables), Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) facility for recovery of high calorific value
waste, Secured Landfill (for disposal of inerts) and Incinerator for leachate
treatment/disposal, RDF disposal, and for animal carcass.
The proposed Integrated Waste Management Facility will be established in a land of about
14.38 hectares located within Sagar town. The proposed site proves to be the best location
considering both the environmental and economical factors. Site Features are presented in
Table – 1.

Nature of the Project Integrated MSW Processing and Disposal Facility
Location Maswasi Grant Village, Sagar (23o55’38.28” N, 78o43’29.88” E)
Land Area 14.38 Hectares (35.53 Acres approximately)
Nearest Town Sagar Town ( 8 km)
Nearest Railway Station Saugor railway station (8 km)
Nearest Airport Dhana Airport (22 km)
Nearest Highway AH 43 (600 m)
Sagar District is abound of Deep and Medium Black Soils. Sagar has a borderline humid
subtropical climate and tropical savana climate with hot summers, a somewhat cooler
monsoon season and cool winters. Heavy rain falls in the monsoon season in the month of
July and August.
Sagar experiences maximum precipitation (64% of the total annual) in the month of July and
August with 16.5 mm and 19.7 mm rainy days whereas March and April experience least.
Summers lasts from March to June whereas December and January are coldest months.
Based on the waste characteristics, proposed process consists of Dry Fermentation (anaerobic
digestion), Compost Plant (aerobic digestion), Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) Facility, and Material
Recovery Facility (MRF) etc. The flow chart of the process is shown in figure below.

The water requirement for operating the proposed facility is about 10 KLD. It is expected that
Sagar Municipal Corporation would supply water to this facility. Otherwise, water
requirement would be met through tankers. The energy requirement for operating the
proposed facility is about 0.5 MW which will be fulfilled by MPTRANSCO. Sufficient capacity
DG Sets (750 KVA) are proposed for power backup.
Adequate measures are proposed to be taken up for leachate management. Since the plant is
designed with a closed windrow, and best practices are followed during landfill operation,
minimum quantity of leachate will be generated which either will be circulated to landfill,
sprayed on landfill for dust control, use to keep the windrows moist. Any excess leachate that
accumulates after following the before mentioned steps will be evaporated by excess heat
from the bio-gas plant operations with proper air pollution control measures. More details on
leachate management presented in the PFR.
It is estimated that it will take up to 15 months for execution of the proposed project
(Integrated MSW Processing and Disposal Facility) with all the facilities proposed. Operations
will continue for a minimum of about 17.5 years at this facility and will be further extended by
another 5 to 10 years. The approximate cost estimate for the proposed facility is about INR
49.5 Crores. About 25 full time employees and 30 contractual employees will be employed for
project operation. About 200 indirect employment will be generated for primary/secondary
collection, transportation etc.
2. Introduction
2.1. Current Situation of MSW Management in Sagar
The current municipal waste management practice in Sagar and surrounding ULBs does
not comply with Solid Waste Management Rules 2016. Non-compliance(s) to SWM Rules
include: (a) unmanaged and insufficient primary and secondary collection; (b) there is no
segregation of waste; (c) most waste dumped in open areas; (d) there is no recovery of
resources from waste before disposal; and (e) indiscriminate dumping and no sanitary
landfill.
2.2. Need for the Proposed Project
Indiscriminate and open burning of wastes results in air pollution. Indiscriminate
dumping of waste and leachate from waste dumpsites, and contaminated lands leads to
Development of an Integrate MSW P&D facility at Maswasi Grant (V) by Saagar MSW Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Pre-Feasibility Report

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 establish an 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 (Secured Landfill). Animal carcass incineration shall also be
included in the integrated facility.
2.3. Location Map of Sagar and Participating ULBs (MSW Service Area)
As per MoEF norms and MSW rules, it is mandatory to set up an efficient management
of Municipal Waste including: (1) Waste Collection (2) Transportation (3) Processing and
(4) Disposal of Inert Waste through Sanitary Land Fill by each ULB but the proposed
ULB’s does not have technical and financial strength to set up the Integrated system on
their own, hence to make SWM services financially sustainable and efficient, the project
is designed on cluster approach i.e. one common integrated waste processing and
disposal facility at Sagar Town (where waste generation is more and is located in the
middle).
All the participating towns (Makronia, Banda, Khurai, Rehli, Grahakota, Bina, Deori,
Rahatgarh, Shahgarh and Shahpur) are within a radius of 75 km of Sagar City and all
these towns are connected to Sagar through all-weather roads. Figure 1 shows the
location of ULBs along with approximate distances of each ULB from Sagar town.

2.4. Current Waste Generation
Sagar Municipal Corporation estimates that the current total waste geration
(considering Sagar Town and 10 surrounding ULBs together) to be about 180 TPD.
However, considering the population projection and the waste generation forecast, it is
proposed to establish the Integrated Waste Management Facility to handle about 350
TPD (Design Capacity). Table 2 presents the waste generation forecast from the project
area (as estimated by Sagar Municipal Corporation).

3.3. Size of the Facility
The current MSW waste generation from Sagar and surrounding ULBs is about 180 TPD.
Considering some factor of safety, the proposed Integrated MSW Processing and
Disposal Facility will be established to handle about 350 tons of MSW per day (350 TPD).
3.4. Selection of Technologies
Municipal Solid Waste is highly heterogeneous and diverse in shape, density, size, and
other physical and chemical parameters. Hence a simple or single method of screening
will not help in separation of constituents. Besides, the time lag between generation and
delivery will initiate decaying process leading to foul odor making it difficult to handle in
normal course. Hence multilevel and multistage separation will have to be adopted
using appropriate machinery.
Though MSW contains valuable constituents, the task of recovering the same is
complicated and complex. The envisaged recoverable are Bio-gas, compost from organic
fractions, Refuse Derived Fuel and recyclables like plastics, glasses, metals etc. The
Technology selected should facilitate maximum recovery of these resources effectively
and economically. Compost being the main resource, the process conditions should
ensure acceptable quality for the end product at affordable cost.
There are several MSW processing technologies, which are being followed in various
parts of the world. Besides source reduction, reuse and recycling, broad categories of
available technologies for processing MSW are mentioned below:
Thermal Processing Technologies, Biological Processing Technologies
Physical Processing Technologies
Development of an Integrate MSW P&D facility at Maswasi Grant (V) by Saagar MSW Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Pre-Feasibility Report
Saagar MSW Solutions Private Limited Page 15
Waste Processing Technology/Group Waste Processing Technology
Thermal Processing Technologies Incineration (Massburn)
Pyrolysis
Pyrolysis/Gasification
Plasma Arc Gasification
Biological Processing Technologies Aerobic Digestion (Composting)
Anaerobic Digestion (Biomethanation)
Landfillas Bioreactor (Bioreactor Landfill)
Physical Processing Technologies Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF)
Densification/Pelletisation
Mechanical Separation
Size reduction
After evaluating the techno-commercial feasibility of each of the above technologies, it
is identified that the most suitable technologies for small tier two towns are Biological
processing and physical processing technologies due to high fraction of food waste in
the mixed garbage.
Any technology selection for MSW processing, most critical factors are quantities,
climatic conditions, waste characterization and also availability of resources. Based on
the waste characterization at Sagar, the processing technology proposed is of anaerobic
digestion, aerobic composting. Bio-gas, Compost and RDF are bye products.
3.5. Project Description with Process Details
Based on the waste characteristics, proposed process consists of dry fermentation
(Anaerobic digestion), Composting (Aerobic digestion), RDF and Material (Recyclables)
recovery facilities. The waste received to the facility will be taken at waste receiving
platform after its weightment and inspection process. At the waste receiving platform,
bulky / large articles like tyres, boulders etc. will be separated and the same will be sent
for further process and the rejects / inert material will be sent for disposal into sanitary
landfill.
From there the waste will be mechanically segregated using a Trommel / Screens with
screen hole size of 100 mm into organic fraction (<100 mm in size) and RDF (>100 mm in
size). The organic fraction of waste will be processed through dry fermentation process
to recover bio-gas followed by aerobic composting process in the windrow platform.

Saagar MSW Solutions Private Limited Page 16
Upon completion of these anaerobic and aerobic decomposition processes the waste
will be routed for coarse segregation / primary screening and segregated into
components by size, manual separation of waste components, and separation of ferrous
and non-ferrous metals. The segregated materials will be sent for further processing.
The final products from the proposed processing plants will be Bio-gas, Compost,
Recyclables and RDF. The quantity of the final products resulting from processing facility
may vary depending on the characteristics of incoming waste. The quantity of inert /
process rejects sent to landfill will be restricted to less than 20%.
The process flow diagram is shown in Figure 6.

3.6. Water Requirement and its Availability
The water requirement for operating the proposed Integrated MSW Processing and
Disposal Facility is about 10 KLPD. The water requirement during construction is
expected to be about 25 KLPD. It is expected that Sagar Municipal Corporation would
supply water to this facility. Otherwise, water requirement would be met through
tankers.
3.7. Energy and Power Requirement and its Source
The energy requirement for operating the proposed Integrated MSW Processing and
Disposal Facility is about 0.5 MW. The electricity requirement will be fulfilled by
MPTRANSCO. Sufficient capacity DG Sets (750 KVA) are proposed for power backup.
3.8. Leachate Management
Leachate will be generated from the MSW in the decomposition (Anaerobic and Aerobic)
process and from Landfill. The proper management of leachate is essential in waste
management as the untreated leachate discharges will lead to water and as well as soil
contamination. The proper management of leachate requires managing the collection
process from the generation source, storage and treatment before its disposal.
In the proposed integrated facility the leachate will be managed by proper collection,
storage and treatment. At the generation points proper drainage / collection network
will be provided to prevent contamination due to overflows. Also the collection system
will be provided with intermediate storage tanks based on the generation quantity.
From there the leachate will be routed to storage tanks before its treatment.
The options to be considered for leachate management are;
• Discharge to Lined Drains: This option is usually not feasible. It can only be adopted if
the leachate quality is shown to satisfy all waste water discharge standards for lined
drains, consistently for a period of several years.
• Re-circulation: One of the methods for treatment of leachate is to re-circulate it
through to the windrows or landfill. This has two beneficial effects: (i) the process of
landfill stabilization is accelerated and (ii) the constituents of the leachate are
attenuated by the biological, chemical and physical changes occurring with the landfill.

Re-circulation of leachate requires the design of a distribution system to ensure that the
leachate passes uniformly throughout the entire waste. Since gas generation is faster in
such a process, the landfill should be equipped with a well-designed gas removal system.
• Evaporation of Leachate: One of the techniques used to manage leachate is to spray it
in lined leachate ponds and allow the leachate to evaporate. Such ponds have to be
covered with geo-membrane during the high rainfall periods. The leachate is exposed
during the summer months to allow evaporation. Odour control has to be exercised at
such ponds. As a standby, this proposal envisages construction of leachate evaporation
ponds as a buffer.
• Treatment of Leachate: Leachate treatment requirements depend on the final disposal
of the leachate. Since the plant is designed with a closed windrow, and best practices
are followed during landfill operation, minimum qty of leachate will be generated which
either will be circulated to landfill, sprayed on landfill for dust control, use to keep the
windrows moist. Any excess leachate that accumulates after following the before
mentioned steps will be evaporated by excess heat from the bio-gas plant operations
with proper air pollution control measures.

6. Proposed Infrastructure
6.1. Bio-gas by Dry Fermentation
The rich organic fraction of MSW received in the facility will be processed for Bio-gas by
Dry Fermentation. Controlled batch anaerobic digestion is the method proposed to be
adopted for optimum results. The biological cycles of controlled anaerobic digestion
extend up to 3 to 4 weeks.
6.2. Compost
The other organic fraction of MSW received in the facility will be processed for compost
generation through windrow/aerated bays process. Controlled aerobic composting is the
method proposed to be adopted for optimum results. The biological cycles of controlled
Development of an Integrate MSW P&D facility at Maswasi Grant (V) by Saagar MSW Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Pre-Feasibility Report
Saagar MSW Solutions Private Limited Page 25
aerobic composting extend up to 4 to 8 weeks. It will be achieved in two stages. The first
stage is planned in the windrow yard for four to six weeks and second stage is planned
for another one / two weeks after primary screening. The final compost generation will
be generated after various levels of screening to segregate hard to degrade materials
like fibrous material, non-degradable, combustible fractions, recyclable materials, inerts
etc.
6.3. Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) Facility
The MSW mainly consists with wet and dry fractions. The majority wet fractions are the
compostable and the dry fractions are combustible, Recyclable and inert material. The
combustible materials will be segregated through screening after first stage
decomposition process of mixed waste. Based on the end user requirement the
segregated material will be shredded for further size reduction. The shredded material
will be screened to separate the inert matter.
6.4. Material (Recyclable) Recovery
A mixed waste stream consists with various types of recyclables materials like plastics,
metals, tyres etc. These recyclables will be extracted by use of mechanical manual
sorting techniques. The bulky material like tyres etc. will be separated upon receipt of
material at waste receiving platform. The material will be passed through over band
magnetic separator placed over the conveyer to recover the metal content. There will
typically be a significant element of hand-sorting of materials also.
6.5. Animal Carcass Incineration
Disposal of dead livestock has long been a challenge for livestock producers. As
rendering costs rise and risk for liability increases - incineration has become a cost
effective solution to this long existent problem. In the proposed methodology controlled
incineration methodology will be used to incinerate the animal carcass. The flue gasses
will be treated before sending into atmosphere as per the norms provided by central
and state bodies. The generated ash will be carted to landfill for disposal. The dead
animal will be picked up and transported in a separate vehicle and will be brought to the
facility and directly sent to the animal carcass incinerator. The process rejects / inerts
from the compost process, RDF process and other processes will be carted to the
Sanitary Landfill. The sanitary landfill will be designed constructed and operated as per
the norms prescribed in MSW Rules 2000 and subsequent amendments.

6.6. Leachate Management & Treatment
Leachate is generated through composting process and from the sanitary landfill
operations. This will be managed by providing drain network to pass into leachate
collection tanks and will be avoided to flow on to soil surfaces to protect contamination
of surface / storm water and ground water and would be treated appropriately.
7. Rehabilitation and Resettlement Plan
No Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) is required to establish the proposed facility.
8. Project Schedule and Cost Estimates
It is estimated that it will take up to 15 months for execution of the proposed project
(Integrated MSW Processing and Disposal Facility) with all the facilities proposed. Operations
will continue for a minimum of about 17.5 years at this facility. The approximate cost estimate
for the proposed facility is about INR 49.5 Crores.
9. Benefits of the Proposed Project (Final Recommendation)
The proposed Integrated MSW Processing and Disposal facility brings in a lot of financial and
social benefits. Especially this project will be very beneficial for the local people. From so
many years, the MSW generated in Sagar and all the participating towns (Makronia, Banda,
Khurai, Rehli, Grahakota, Bina, Deori, Rahatgarh, Shahgarh and Shahpur) is being disposed of
improperly. 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 establish an 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 (Secured Landfill). With establishment of this facility, it is expected that environment
(especially groundwater) will be protected in addition to improvement in general public
health.
