Nothing is a waste. What is waste in one process is raw material for another.
Pothanikkad
Rubber Producers’ Society is proving this axiom at the latex
processing unit. They use
waste acid obtained after converting latex into rubber sheets for
producing electricity. The
society processes 4500 kg of latex daily.
The liquid waste resulting thereof is fed into a tank for producing
gas.
This
gas is fed into a diesel engine through a pipeline.
After starting the engine with diesel, it is switched to work on
gas. Using an alternator,
electricity up to 5 HP is then produced.
All
kinds of electrical appliances including light and machines can be
activated by this power.
Technical
know-how for the project was provided by Malanad Development Society.
