Indian Railways commissions first Waste to Energy Plant in Bhubaneswar

All types of waste including plastic and e-waste can be converted to Light Diesel Oil which is used to light furnaces.

This Waste to Energy Plant, a patented technology called POLYCRACK, is first-of-its-kind in Indian Railways and fourth in India.

The process is a closed-loop system and does not emit any hazardous pollutants into the atmosphere

The combustible, non-condensed gases are re-used for providing energy to the entire system and thus, the only emission comes from the combustion of gaseous fuels.

FEATURES OF POLYCRACK TECHNOLOGY -

1. Pre-segregation of waste is not required to reform the waste. Waste as collected can be directly fed into Polycrack.

2. Waste is processed and reformed within 24 hours.

3. Excellent air quality surrounding the plant. 

4.All constituents are converted into valuable energy thereby making it Zero Discharge Process.

5. Operates around 450 degrees, making it a low temperature process when compared with other options.

6. Fully automated system requires minimum manpower.
