Export of waste-to-electricity equipment from Nepal
Krishna Khatiwada of Hetauda sub-metropolitan city-8 has been manufacturing and exporting the machine using Japanese technology since the past four years.
While various solutions are being sought all over the world, the fact that effective work is being done at the civil level for waste management in Nepal itself has not come to light. Common people do not even know about the machine that produces electricity from waste, which is being produced in Nepal and is being exported to foreign countries.
If such machines that produce electricity and clinker from waste are brought into use, not only waste management but also waste can be turned into money.
The machine separates tin, iron and other items from the garbage. Materials such as energy production, clinker, stone coal and fertilizers can be produced by processing perishable and non-perishable waste. The machine heats and inactivates the gases produced during the waste modification process. Only pure air is released into the atmosphere. Khatiwada informed that the machine will handle two tons of waste in an hour and 0.5 megawatts of electricity will be generated from the process.
Coal is made from decomposing waste and clinker is produced from non-decomposing waste from which cement can be produced. He said that since the system connected inside the machine performs waste sorting, grinding, drying and production, waste management can be done easily. Khatiwada claims that the machine is environmentally friendly because it does not burn plastic waste but destroys it through a chemical process.
Khatiwada had to take his product to Japan and sell it in other countries under Japanese branding as there is no provision in the law in Nepal to issue an environment friendly certification.
