The technology of anaerobic digestion of organic solid wastes is, in many aspects, mature. Topics such as fundamentals (kinetics, modeling, etc...) Process aspects performance, two and single phase systems, wet technologies, digestion enhancement of several treatments. Digestion with other substrates and its relation to composting technology are examined in this review. Special attention is paid to the advantages of anaerobic digestion in limiting the emission of greenhouse gases. An overview of industrial achievements and future developments. Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) is one of the major environmental problems of Indian cities. Improper management of municipal solid waste (MSW) causes hazards to inhabitants. Various studies reveal that about 90% of MSW is disposed of unscientifically in open dumps and landfills, creating problems to public health and the environment. In the present study, an attempt has been made to provide a comprehensive review of the characteristics, generation, collection and transportation, disposal and treatment technologies of MSW practiced in India Special attention is paid to the advantages of anaerobic digestion in limiting the emission of greenhouse gases. On overview domestic and organic waste achievement and future development.

Extraordinary emerging consumption statistics from the developing Asian countries hasclearly indicated the increase waste generation over the past decades. Most of the developingAsian countries are experiencing solid waste management problem in terms of collectionefficiency, disposal facilities, limited financial resources and weak policy interventions.Unlike developed nations, final disposal of solid waste in developing Asian countries isusually a matter of transporting the collected waste to the nearest available space for disposal.Moreover, sustainability of landfills has become a challenge in Asia due to variousconsiderations such as availability of space, technologies for gas capture and leachatetreatment, tropaical climatic condition and waste characteristics. Plastic and paper wastes aredominating due to rapid economic development. Treating waste as a resource is the first steptowards sustainable waste management and conserving resources. As for the biodegradablewaste, feasible treatment technologies such as composting and anaerobic digestion withattractive results have been established. The non-biodegradable waste fractions are to bemanaged by implementing the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. This article attempts to givea picture of the ongoing 3R implementation in urban municipal solid waste management inAsian countries. It was observed that in most of Asian countries, informal activities highlydominate due to lack of funding, government initiation, lapse in policy and public ignoranceon waste management issues.

With the implementation of new policies supporting renewable natural gas production from organic wastes, Canada began replacing traditional disposal methods with highly integrated biogas production strategies. Herein, data from published papers, Canadian Biogas Association, Canada’s national statistical agency, and energy companies’ websites were gathered to gain insight into the current status of anaerobic digestion plants in recovering energy and resource from organic wastes. The availability of materials prepared for recycling by companies and local waste management organizations and existing infrastructures for municipal solid waste management were examined. Governmental incentives and discouragements in Canada and world anaerobic digestion leaders regarding organic fraction municipal solid waste management were comprehensively reviewed to identify the opportunities for developing large-scale anaerobic digestion in Canada. A range of anaerobic digestion facilities, including water resource recovery facilities, standalone digesters, and on-farm digesters throughout Ontario, were compared in terms of digestion type, digester volume, feedstock (s), and electricity capacity to better understand the current role of biogas plants in this province. Finally, technology perspectives, solutions, and roadmaps were discussed to shape the future in terms of organic fraction municipal solid waste management. The findings suggested that the biogas industry growth in Canada relies on provincial energy and waste management policies, advanced technologies for diverting organic waste from landfills, improving biogas yield using existing pretreatment methods, and educating farmers regarding digester operations.

Emission Of Greenhouse Gases

This contribution analyzes the anaerobic digestion process and compares GHG emissions estimated for four different management processes for MSW (Municipal Solid Waste): biogasification, landfilling, composting and incineration. The comparison has been undertaken by considering in the estimation of the emissions the full cycle of MSW treatment, and not only the emissions derived from the fraction of MSW treated by each particular system. For instance, the fraction of MSW not submitted to biological treatment has to be incinerated or deposited in a landfill. The corresponding emissions of these processes have to be considered in the calculations of the final emissions.

This paper explains the interest in urban organic solid wastes, the relevance of these wastes to municipal solid waste management, the main ways in which organics are reused, and the problem that arise from the wish to ensure safe and effec�tive reuse as part of sustainable development in cities in Romania. Wastes are substances resulting from biological or technological processes that can no longer be used as such, some of which are reusable. Dangerous substances are any substance or product which, when used in apparently non-hazardous quantities, concentrations or conditions, presents a significant risk to humans, the environment or material goods (eg explosives, oxidizing, flammable, toxic, harmful, corrosive, irritant, mutagenic. Urban administrations nowadays are seeking ways to divert organic wastes from municipal solid waste streams for a variety of reasons, as noted below. Recommenda�tions are made for separation at source so that safe composting can be carried out. Private companies are being encouraged to undertake composting, often via forms of public-private partnerships. More attention is being paid to the role of non-govern�mental organizations in promoting citizen awareness of organic waste issues, and co-operation with separation at source. This paper draws attention to the many informal ways that organic wastes are currently reused, which are rarely taken into account in official plans for managing organic wastes.

This paper presents an assessment of the existing situation of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) in Bahraich City. The quantity and composition of MSW vary from place to place, and bear a rather consistant correlation with the average standard of living. Field investigations were carried out for quantification, analysis of physico-chemical composition and characterization in disposal site. Studies carried out in these places have revealed that there were many shortcomings in the existing practices used in managing the MSW. These shortcomings pertain mainly to indequate manpower, financial resources, implements and machinery required for effectively carrying out various activities for MSWM. Various adopted treatment technologies for MSW were critically reviewed, alongwith their advantage and limitations. The study was concluded with a few fruitful suggestions, which may be beneficial to encourage the competent authorities/researchers to work towards further improvement in the present system.
