The BioEarth Clean Bangladesh Initiative
Managed by: BioEarth Bangladesh LTD The BioEarth clean Bangladesh Initiative proposes to collect garbage from the country and convert it into electricity and viable products: in the form of renewable fuels/energy, carbon and compost to rejuvenate the soils and improve agriculture. Our main plant, proposed for Dhaka, will convert the Cities Garbage into Electricity. 3,000 Tons Per Day, 1.095 MILLION Tons Per Year into: 110,000 tons of Bio-Fuel and 39,000 tons Bio-Gas [Syn-Gas], yearly, that we will use to produce 50+ Mega Watts of Electricity. Other by products produced include 123,000 tons of Carbon [Bio Char & Carbon Black], and over 300,000 Tons of Hi Grade Bio-Compost. BioEarth is using the most advanced and unique system in the world to convert organic waste to fuel and valuable by-products while producing no air pollution or ash to be land filled. BioEarth’s Projects Support the Kyoto Protocol and Millennium Development Goals. We are interested in forming a Partnership for development of our initiatives. They include: Environmental Sustainability, Combating Diseases, Pollution Remediation, Poverty Reduction thru Education and Employment, Women Empowerment and Gender Equality thru Equal Opportunity Employment, Eradicating Hunger with Increased Food Harvest aided by the use of our Organic BioChar Soil Amendments and Renewable Power Production to support the population and irrigation of fields. BioEarth would like to work with the Federal and local Governments to initiate Public Private Partnerships to resolve the problems that plague Dhaka and all of Bangladesh. We have formed multiple alliances with experts and corporations from related fields. BioEarth’s staff has done months of research to prepare for this proposal so that we could be sure to provide a comprehensive solution. The project we are outlining is a template that can be scaled up or down and used at multiple locations throughout country. The following solutions fall within the scope of services BioEarth Inc. and BioEarth Bangladesh LTD is prepared to provide. Ø Reconfigured Garbage Collection Systems by adding New Equipment and Training: Covered Bio Diesel Powered Garbage Collection Trucks, Roll-Off Container Trucks, Garbage Transfer Stations, Trash Collection Barges and Trash Dumpster Container Barges, Roll Off Containers, Covered Dumpsters & Street Cans, Riverside Dock Sanitation System, Education for the Public and Employees and a Compost Credit Reward Program to Inspire Participation. Ø Commercial Composting Plants and Recycling Centers: 3000+ Tons Per Day Facility that will employ approximately 1500 men and women with Modern Automated Waste Separation Equipment and utilize the latest technologies. We will separate out compostable materials and Organic Material for Producing Mulch and High Grade Topsoil to Improve the Farmlands of the country and Produce More Food. Non Compostable’s can be sent to our Engineered Landfill or go onto Pyrolysis for decomposition into BioFuel, BioGas [Syn-Gas] and BioChar [Bio Soil Amendment].
Ø Engineered Landfill: We propose to include engineered landfills with each of our plants to accommodate the waste that is unacceptable for composting and/ or thermal conversion.
Ø CoGeneration Waste Plant: We will use a newly patented Thermal Conversion technology to Thermally Decompose 1400+ Tons of Waste Per Day including: MSW, Tires, Plastic, Polluted Dredge Spoils & MORE To Produce 50+ MW Electricity, Bio Fuel, Bio Char [Carbon sequestering Soil Amendment], Carbon Black, Activated Carbon and Potable Water. All from the city’s Urban Waste.
Medical Waste and Hazardous Waste can be processed but the waste must be handled separately.
The BioEarth Clean Bangladesh Initiative [BEC –BI] will address ALL of the Issues listed above. The project includes a Multi-Generation Waste Thermal Conversion Plant combined with Co-Generation, Tri-Fuel Powered, Electric Generation Plant, an In-Bag Aerobic Bio Mass Composting Plant and a modern Environmental Landfills.
The Dhaka region of Bangladesh is best served by 2 Main Plants, each handling 3,000 tons of waste per day, and we have planned 4 Inner City Transfer Stations and 6 Riverside Transfer Stations for the Buriganga River and are planning similar Transfer stations along the Shitalakshya river. BioEarth can customize a system for every city of Bangladesh 3,000 Tons Per Day, 1.095 MILLION Tons Per Year– of Municipal solid waste Plant Production: Ø 50+ MW Electricity Ø 300 Tons of Bio Fuel Per Day - 110,000 Tons Yearly [Bio Fuel and Syn-Gas used for Electricity] Ø 106 Tons of Syn-Gas Per Day - 39,000 Tons Yearly Ø 335 Tons of Carbon - 123,000 Tons Per Yearly [Bio Char/ Carbon Black] Ø 840 Tons of Compost Per day - 300,000+ Tons Yearly Ø Carbon Credits: Landfill Diversion, Renewable Energy, Alternative Fuels, Carbon Sequestration,
Biomass power generation, Fuel Switching, Transportation, Industrial Processes Infrastructure Includes: Ø Composting and Recycling Plant, Buildings, Equipment, Machines, etc. Ø 50 MW+ Bio Diesel Powered Electricity Plant - Complete site with buildings, engines, generators
Local power company responsible for all equipment and expense to connect from building to grid Ø Thermal Decomposition Plant [Pyrolysis], All supporting equipment Ø Engineered Landfill Facility – Complete facility with listed equipment and machines Ø Port / Docking facilities with 2 Cranes and Liquid Fuel and Dry Cargo Loading and Unloading Ø 40+ Trucks - Garbage Trucks, Container Trucks, Support Vehicles, Compost and Maintenance Trucks Ø 25+ Various Barges- Crane Barges, Utility Barges, Boats, Support Boats, 2 Trash Skimmers Ø 4-Transfer Stations and Equipment (Inner city) – Truck supported Ø 6-Transfer Stations and Docks / Equipment (River Side) – Barge Supported Ø Mini Riverside locations for smaller Dumpsters Ø 1,000+ Roll-Off Containers, Dumpsters and Receptacles
Plant Site / Landfill Property and Civil Considerations: Ø 35+ Hector Acres for Recycling / Composting/ Thermal Conversion Plant Ø 2 Hector Acre 50+MW electric Generation Plant/ Ø Landfill Site -10 Hector Acre Minimum – 20 HA will allow for future expansion Ø River and Roadway Access Required because of transportation logistics in Bangladesh Ø We have to Build River Port Complex for Receiving Waste and Shipping by Products Ø Public Transportation is desirable to aid employee access Ø Distance to local power grid vs. Away from population and maintaining river access Ø Elevation of land and 100 year flood plain – Floor Slabs must be above flood plain / compost site protection Ø Soil conditions of the area. We need soil samples to determine foundation and road cost. Project Time Frame: Ø Work will begin immediately after receiving mobilization funds Ø BioEarth can have the Plant operational in under 12 months and expect to be in full production by 18 months Each Plant, 3,000 TPD will employ thousands of Bangladeshi’s with lasting jobs. BioEarth will employ approximately 1,500 men and women directly and More than 13,000+ people will be indirectly employed at jobs that are supported by this project. Plant Employees:
BioEarth intends to set new employment standards for the region and will start with Wages that will be at elevated local levels and we will make necessary adjustments to ensure that our staff will be paid more than the traditional living wage as defined in the ILO Convention. BioEarth will give equal opportunities to women and exceed traditional human rights employment initiatives. Employees will get regular breaks and BioEarth will provide an air-conditioned break area. Sorting line workers will have a well-lit air-conditioned facility and get a break every hour. Everyone will start in a entry level position and Everyone will have the opportunity for advancement. This Dhaka plant will continue to be the training facility that we will use to train the employees for the other plants that we will be opening in Bangladesh and abroad. BioEarth Employees, Men and Women, will be provided with an extensive group of benefits: Ø Daily uniforms and coveralls from onsite Laundry Ø Man’s and Women’s Showers and Locker Rooms, Ø On site Cafeteria, Ø On site Clinic/ Infirmary: for routine health issues Ø Educational Assistance Program. Ø Stewardship Job Advancement Program Ø Traditional working hours |
