Segregation Processes
• 2D and 3D objects are manually fed into a Vibratoscope which is a device that segregates dim
ensional and dimensional objects.
• The design of the device is similar to a piston crank mechanism of an engine. Here the lateral
motion of the piston movement is converted into a rotary motion through fulcrum.
• The 3D objects are pulled over by the movement of the blocks.
• The 2D objects are flown away by the upward movement of the blocks.

The waste collected in all cities is similar to the waste breakup found in Ahmedabad.
The land value is not taken into consideration as it depends on the city as well as it varies from
area to area. The land required by segregation plants is assumed to be the same as the saving
in land required by landfill sites.
The value of 3.8 Rs. Per Kg is derived for the case of Ahmedabad based on current price trend
s of obtained components
Each collector truck goes for one trip a day and has a capacity of 2 Tonnes
Each Dumper truck has a carrying capacity of 12 Tonnes and goes for 3 trips a day
The cost of collector vehicle is 600000 Rs.
The cost of Dumper truck is 2000000 Rs.
Maintenance and depreciation is kept at 2% per month or 24% per year in line with industry sta
ndards
• Compound interest is taken into consideration for payback period
• Total capital costs for segregation plants is taken from sources and interpolated linearly
• The salaries of workers and the number of workers required are taken from the AMC models a
nd NEPRA plants.
• The cost of segregation plant varies linearly with its size for a plant of sufficient size.
• The waste segregation takes place at the source where green waste, recyclable materials and
non recyclable materials go in different bins
• Operating cost of collector vehicles is kept at Rs. 8 per Km
• Operating costs of Dumper vehicles is kept at Rs. 30 per Km
• The collector vehicles are assumed to travel every road of the city and the total distance travell
ed by them is equal to the total road length of the city

MATLAB coding for large scale plants
Result and Conclusion
• Thus the distance travelled is kept such that the door to door pickup truck can gather
the waste and deliver it to the waste processing and segregation plant.
• Amount of waste collected by one door to door pickup truck -2 tonnes=5000 people
considering a population density of 5000 people/Km2 this truck is expected to cover an
area of 0.5 Km2 covering a total distance of 5-6 Km in the process
• A solid waste management system for 30000 people is the most efficient because it has
a better breakeven period than domestic waste management system due to material
recovery
• While considering the population density for more than 30000 people if the plant is
made, the cost of collection and disposal is the same per tonne while the cost of
transportation increases as the waste has to collected at a dumping site by the door to
door collectors .this waste has to be transported to a processing plant by a different
truck and hence the cost adds up.
Software Design of Vibrating Screen
Results and Discussion
It is clear from the previous graph that as the number of plants increase the
profit increases marginally.
This is due to the fact that transportation distance decreases which saves fu
el cost. Also more throughput can be obtained in the same time
2. Profit V/S Landfill Ratio
Also due to the decreased profitability the payback period increases. For line
ar decrease in profit an exponential increase in payback time is observed.
This is due to compounding of interest.
For a factor of landfill ratio of greater than 0.5 the payback period is infinite
meaning that the business is unsustainable.
Conclusion
The feasibility analysis of DSWM as used in our mat lab analysis fall in line
with the current budget of AMC. It is observed that after a landfill ratio of mor
e than 50% to the total waste, the business is unprofitable.
It is also seen that as the number of waste segregation centers increase, the
profitability increases as expected. This is because of the fact that collector
trucks have to travel shorter distance saving on fuel cost.
It is seen that almost 60-70% of the revenue comes from green waste conve
rsion into biogas and fertilizer while 30-40% revenue comes from segregatio
n of waste.
