An environment friendly waste disposal system with the technique of disposing waste at very place of its origin was successfully created by Mr J. Rajendran .The organic fuel oven gains popularity as it produces energy along with disposal of waste. It was after 35 years of experience in field of environment protection that Rajedran developed the organic fuel oven.
The convenience of being able to set up this plant very close to homes is particularly noteworthy. The main components of this plant include an oven, a furnace cylinder, a water boiling tank, a chimney and waste disposal boxes. The boxes can be moved in and out of the furnace cylinder. One box is for the plastics and the other for liquid wastes. Solid wastes can be directly disposed off through the furnace into the oven fire. The liquid waste will be kept in the furnace for some time till it loses its water content and then disposed into the fire. The plastics instead of being burnt directly will be cremated slowly and then joined to the oven .They are separated as thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics. Thermoplastics such as plastic covers and thin sheets can only be disposed to the fuel oven. Thermoplastics if cremated will only produce 90%less dioxin gas as compared to when they are burnt.Thermosetting plastics like comb mugs buckets produce 50% more dioxin when cremated.
The waste produced at home can be used to produce heat required for cooking. The heat from oven reaching the furnace can boil the water in the water boiling tank situated near the furnace and with necessary changes we can attach an oven near the furnace and use the heat produced for cooking purposes.
A waste management system that can reduce maximum environmental problems is what we require and it is not only a waste management system that we should look forward to but also a good culture towards waste management says Mr Rajedran.
