Tenders were invited for biomining of heritage waste at Vidyaranyapuram

Tenders have finally been invited to clean the pile of legacy waste through biomining during electrification at the waste treatment plant of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC).

Accumulation in the flesh of the authorities had become a thorn, which was at the end of complaints by residents of the surrounding areas of foul odors as well as threats to their health from rising mounds of garbage in their neighborhoods. .

MCC Health Health Officer DG Nagaraju told Hindu That bid was invited for the waste of heritage, which is estimated at over 2 lakh tonnes. The last date for submission of bids is 5 April and as per the tender details, the estimated cost of the work is ₹ 4.6 crore.

Although the proposal to make heritage waste biomine was approved by the government after a trip of more than a year by a team of public representatives and officials from Mysuru to Nagpur, where former minister and MLA of the area Mohammaddas conducted an active exercise . The project had sought a change which included relocating the waste treatment plant at Vidyanapuram.

However, sources in the MCC said that the MCC and the Mysuru district administration had given a commitment to the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that the heritage waste be cleared by 2022. For contempt of court, the officer said.

Mysuru produces about 450 tonnes of waste every day and the plant at Vidyaranyapuram has the capacity to process not more than 150 to 200 tonnes per day. Even though 9 zero waste management plants process about 45 tons per day at the rate of 5 tons per plant, a large amount of waste is added to the untreated waste mound in Vidyaranyapuram every day.

The work is expected to be completed within nine months from the date the contract was awarded and an estimated 25 acres of land is likely to be reclaimed by MCC after the completion of biomass or scientific processing of heritage waste.

As part of biomining, legacy wastes will be sewed prior to processing. The Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) will be taken out of the Vidyaranpuram site. The successful bidder should also supply excavators, loaders, trailers and trucks for the biomining exercise.

The 25 acres of land, on which the inheritance is now wasted, can be reclaimed by MCC through bioremediation after biomedical practice and used for other purposes.
