MAEER's MIT GROUP OF INSTITUTIONS, PUNE (INDIA)
Biogas Plant


Overview

There are regular waste disposal problems in almost all Institutions like hostels, hospitals, convents, old age-homes, etc. where more peoples are staying together. In the same time the cooking fuel consumption of these Institutions is also very high. Fairly large quantities of firewood and other cooking fuels are consumed for routine cooking purposes.

Biogas production kills two birds with one stone: It reduces waste and produces energy. In addition, the residues from the digestion process can be used as high quality fertilizer. This closes the nutrient cycle. By understanding the today's need of saving of energy, MIT Group of Institution taken an initiative & sets up Bio-Gas plant to process canteen waste.

Details

In an example worth emulating, the Maharashtra Academy of Engineering and Educational Research (MAEER)'s Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT) College, Kothrud, has installed a biogas plant, commissioned by Thermax Ltd that has a capacity to generate energy equivalent to around 1.5 commercial LPG cylinders by decomposing waste from the students' canteen. Plant, set up over nearly 1,000 square ft. The plant has been installed at a cost of around Rs. 14 lakh.

The canteen caters to more than 5,000 students daily and generates over 150 kg of solid and semi-solid waste, in the form of left-over food and remains of vegetables and fruits. It was a tedious task to pack the huge amount of waste in polythene bags and hand them over to the civic body almost daily. It is now easy to dump this waste & processed at the biogas plant after some segregation. From it, MIT is getting nearly 50 kg of biogas and it is also clean and efficient.

The biogas plant aims at addressing the issue of disposal of waste from the canteen and other parts of the campus in an eco-friendly manner.
M. M. Unnikrishnan, MD and CEO of Thermax, who was present during the commissioning of the biogas plant, has appealed to large educational institutes having a sizeable presence of on-campus students to opt for renewable energy methods for a safe and secure environment. Indian Express has also taken the note of this initiative & give exposure to it.

    "An institute represents both the endeavours and the vision of man behind it. The institute indicates the spirit of Dr. Karad. In my second visit became more aware of Professor Dr. karad trying to impose the spirit and knowledge among the students. This was more visible on the occasion of Independence Day. The dedication with which he has developed the institute is evolving and I wish him all success in the realization of his vision."

    If all well established and long standing engineering colleges in the country could create and maintain as many facilities and labratories as MIT, Pune has done under the purposeful and participative leadership of Prof Dr. Vishwanath Karad and his highly motivated faculty members and administrative staff this country will create a very different and innovative revolution for its people. The students also seem to be very disciplined and believes in the culture & philosophy that the institution is very carefully nurturing. The people behind the institution certainly need to be complimented. They are matured enough to establish the necessary checks in the management system and work for improving upon such elements . Innovative management some times elicites criticism. I only hope that the institution builders will look only at the positive aspect of the criticism and not get crushed in their good work by any unfair elements of the criticism. I wish the instituion, its director and the associates of Prof Dr. Vishwanath Karad all the best in their present and future endeavours.
