50 ton/day Biomethanation Plant at Rudrapur, Uttarakhand

Rudrapur, district headquarters, trading centre and situated on the banks of Kalyani
river in Udham Singh Nagar district of the northern state of Uttarakhand, India, is the
'Gateway to Kumaon, but was struggling with waste management.
In 2021, Rudrapur Nagar Nigam, took this unique enviro-friendly initiative and issued
a contract to successful bidder Mailhem Group for setting up Uttarakhand’s first
compressed biogas project from 50 ton per day of segregated organic waste
generated daily in Rudrapur city.
Mailhem along with its Singapore Investor Plataforma Asia invested completely to set
up a company - Rudrapur Green Energy Pvt Ltd to solve for the waste problems and
at the same time generate clean fuel and fertilizer for the benefit of Rudrapur
citizens.
Come let us see this compressed biogas project – phase 1 is now completed.
The organic wastes like vegetable and fruit market waste, hotel waste, household
wet waste and cowdung is supplied in Rudrapur Nagar Nigam vehicles. This project
can also take agro waste and other organic wastes. It is weighed on a weighbridge
and unloaded in the unloading pit. The green organic waste is further segregated on
slow moving belt to remove plastic, metal, rubber, glass and other non biodegradable
items. The organic waste is shredded and converted into slurry. The slurry is
“homogenized” and pumped into Mailhem Anaerobic Digesters.
