In a move aimed at improving the functioning of the garbage treatment plant at Vilappilsala, the city corporation is planning ti introduce Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) technology. The proposal involves the manufacture of compact fuel pellets from combustible material in residual garbage. The segregation of non combustible elements ensures high calorific value of the pellets which can replace coal in thermal power plants and also be used in specially designed stoves after gasification. The proposal is a part of eth project report, prepared fro sanitation schemes, to be submitted to the central government for assistance under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission. The report proposes two pellatisation plants with the capacity of 500Kg an hour. Another major proposal that is expected to net funds under the JNNURM is an engineered sanitary landfill with a capacity of 24,000 cubic meters.
