Yearly population growth rate (r) (Po - 2011 census population) |
% |
n - (number of years between 2011 and Py) | |
Forecasted Population (Pn) | |
In the absence of actual data, per capita waste generation per day may be taken as 300 gms for Rural areas, 350 gms for Municipalities and 450 gms for Corporation area |
Per capita dry waste generation (wd) per day in grams (18 % x w) (Dry waste= approx 18% of total waste) |
|
Total dry waste generated per day in Tonnes (wd x Pn) (Population x per capita dry waste generation) |
Total dry waste generated per day in Tonnes including floating population |
Daily dry waste quantity reaching MCF through HKS (Tonnes) |
Waste that has to be handled in the MCF between the clearing intervals (Tonnes) |
a) Area required for stacking of incoming waste (A1) | |
The area required for stacking of incoming waste is based on a 100 kg/m³ density, 1.5 m stacking height, and a waste quantity for 2 days | |
Area required A1 = Waste quantity for 2 days/ (Stacking height x Density) |
m2 |
b) Area required for segregation and processing, including machinery area (A2) | |
This area is provided for machinery such as the weighing machine, conveyor belt, baling machine, deduster, and forklift | |
Area required (A2) | m2 |
c) Area required for storage of segregated unbaled waste (A3) | |
The area required for unbaled waste storage is calculated similarly to the incoming waste, using a 100 kg/m³ density and 1 m stacking height. Assume the waste quantity for 2 days is 2400 kg | |
Area required A3 = Volume of waste/ (Stacking height x Density) |
m2 |
d) Area required for storage of baled waste (A4) | |
Based on the baling machine specifications, the density of baled waste is assumed to be 250 kg/m³ Assuming that the total waste to be baled is 18,135 kg as per projected population |
|
Volume of baled waste produced (V) (V = Total waste to be baled/ Density of baled waste) |
m3 |
Assuming a 2 m stacking height with the help of a forklift | |
Area required A4 = V/Stacking height |
m2 |
e) Area for Passage (A5) | |
The area for movement and passage within the MCF is generally assumed to be 20% of the processing area. The processing area includes A1, A2, A3 and A4 | |
Area Required (A5) | m2 |
f) Area required for utilities (A6) | |
The area required for utilities such as office rooms, dining/rest rooms, toilets, and personal item store is fixed | |
Area required (A6) | 25 m2 |
Total area required for MCF, A = A1 + A2 + A3+ A4+ A5+ A6 | m2 |
Area required for Unloading & Loading (Al) in m2 (Outside the building) | 24 m2 |
