Need for Swatch, Waste Destruction Technology

The functioning of the SWATCH technology is quite new and different from the existing available technologies in India. Except for the comparison in the process of incineration, there is no other comparison between the SWATCH and the existing ones. 

This technology has designed after taking into the practical problems faced by the predecessors in this field. Unlike the existing ones, SWATCH is a technology that can be used with economies of limited scales scenarios. As mentioned above, all the processes and treatment techniques prevalent in India need the third source for their operation whereas SWATCH can be owned, operated, and maintained purely by the urban local bodies either on ownership basis or on a public-private partnership basis.

The machine is available in different sizes to treat different quantities that make the new technology more viable and preferable. The above cost comparing table indicates the preferential size of land for each technology whereas the land mass needed for executing this SWATCH technology is of 1/25th of the above-mentioned scales depending upon the size of the machine. Another important aspect is that the existing technologies are unable to reinvent themselves for much horizontal public participation wherein SWATCH usage is possible.

We can make thousands of public / Self Help Group workers as partners in the municipal solid waste management. It helps the municipal authorities to clear the landfilling sites and thus helping to reclaim the sites earmarked for that purpose and releasing hundreds of crores net worth public assets. The operational cost of the machine is minimal except for the larger uneventful larger break downs. 

By opting for the machine, the municipality can save nearing cost the machine in the first year itself as it does not need to deploy a large number of transporting facilities that consume huge amounts. In all these aspects, SWATCH technology helps to generate assets as well as gainful employment to a large section of the public even in Tire III and Tire IV towns of Agartala. 

Role of SWATCH MACHINE in solving the problems to process the Municipal Solid Waste

• SWATCH MACHINE is an operation to process solid waste in a decentralized manner saving the costs incurred on transportation.
• SWATCH MACHINE does not need any type of fuel to run this machine for processing solid waste.
• SWATCH MACHINE does not release any pollution and it is the safest way to reducing the volume of solid waste.
• SWATCH MACHINE does not need segregation of waste just feed the collected material for processing.
• SWATCH MACHINE processes all types of waste except debris, metal, glass, and porcelain.
• SWATCH MACHINE processes all types of plastics including carrying bags without releasing pollution.
• SWATCH MACHINE saves time & cost of transportation that is to be spent to transport the solid waste.
• SWATCH MACHINE requires only a small space to operate saving the amounts to be spent on landfills and on maintenance.
• SWATCH MACHINE operation is so simple and its life span is not less than 10 years.
  SWATCH MACHINE can be operated in small lanes, commercial complexes, market places, etc.
• SWATCH MACHINE is easy to operate.
• SWATCH MACHINE is the best example to display CSR activity.
• By using SWATCH MACHINE the savings on diesel, methane emissions can be claimed under carbon credits.
