WASTE AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN IN DHAKA CITY (BANGLADESH)
The purpose is to draw up a strategic/decision-making
tool which include analysis about different technological aspects and about adequacy of the proposed intervention.
In particular, we define the technological and logistics
contents of the plant that we believe which is suitable for
maximizing the recovery of materials and energy from the
huge quantity of Municipal Solid Wastes which are treated
and conferred to the platforms of Aminbazar and Mutuail.
Due to the need to identify the social, economic and
environmental sustainability of this kind of intervention we
have considered to proceed a full evaluation of all the components and the design variables, even if the evaluation is inevitably brief.
In this specific case it is fundamental the coordination of the project with appropriate policies to encourage the waste collection as much separate as possible. At the same time, it has to be clearly defined the catchment areas and the collection and waste treatment procedures, that is to say it has to be unmistakably identified prospects and continuity of the material’s supply in the case of high variability of waste transfer's demand to landfill. The problem of waste's composition modification compels to modify technological solutions (both quantitatively and qualitatively) with those may be available on the local context.
