150 metric tons of wet waste per day is needed by the plant. The Ranchi Municipal Corporation has initiated a pilot project to gather and move the waste. But in spite of everything, the company has failed to deliver even fifty tons of moist waste to Jhiri.

So far, they have been able to send 44 metric tons of wet waste per day, according to a corporation official. We’ll take action to boost this amount. The question of how the company will accomplish this goal once the plant operates emerges.

It is noteworthy that two 150-ton plants, each costing Rs 25 crore, are being built in Jhiri. At least one of the plants is already built.

Mixing wet and dry waste by corporation workers:

The people are being urged by Ranchi Municipal Corporation to separate their dry and wet waste. This practice has also caught on, and people are now keeping dry and wet waste in different trash cans. Nevertheless, the garbage collection trucks are gathering both kinds of waste together from the households.

The company’s collection workers are combining the waste, making the people’s efforts ineffective. Mixed waste is consequently making its way to the mini transfer stations.

Manufacturing 5,000 kg of gas:

GAIL India is the company that built the waste disposal plant in Jhiri. Here, cow dung will be utilized in the initial stage. The waste deposited here will yield 5000 kg of CNG gas and 8 tons of manure.

This Phase I plant was built under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan for a total of Rs 25 crore. First, it will function symbolically, and then it will begin operating at full capacity.

In order to market the biogas generated in Jhiri, GAIL India also intends to establish stations. GAIL is permitted to open two stations in the city by Ranchi Municipal Corporation, which will also supply the necessary land.
