Municipal Solid Waste & RDF Analysis

Complete characterization of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) Gross Calorific Value (GCV), landfill leachate toxicity, and city compost quality audits under Solid Waste Management Rules 2016.

Bomb Calorimetry (GCV)

SWM Rules 2016 Standards

Municipal Solid Waste Physical & Chemical Composition

Physical fraction sorting (Biodegradables, Plastics, Paper, Inert, Textiles, Metals, Glass) and chemical proximate/ultimate analysis for municipal corporations and waste processing concessionaires.

Physical Fraction Sorting

Quartering and sampling method to categorize waste into compostable organics, combustibles for RDF, recyclable plastics, and inert grit.

Proximate Analysis

Moisture content (%), Volatile matter (%), Fixed Carbon (%), and Ash Content (%) as per ASTM D3172 standards.

Isoperibol Bomb Calorimetry

Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) Gross Calorific Value (GCV)

Precision Bomb Calorimeter testing to determine Gross Calorific Value (GCV kcal/kg) and Net Calorific Value (NCV) of RDF fluffy fraction and compressed RDF briquettes supplied to cement kilns and power plants.

Landfill Leachate Profiling

Landfill Leachate Water Toxicity & Characterization

High-strength wastewater analysis of municipal landfill leachate for BOD, COD, Heavy Metals, Ammonical Nitrogen, and Organics to design leachate treatment plants and MEE evaporators.

Fertilizer Control Order 1985

Organic Compost Quality (Fertilizer Control Order - FCO 1985)

City compost quality testing under FCO standards to qualify compost for commercial fertilizer marketing and agricultural distribution.
