Development of Green Neutralizer for mitigation of Malodorous Compounds in Ambient Air generated from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill site

Partnered Institutes:
  • NORMI Research Foundation, India
  • Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai
  • Bangalore University (BU), Jnanabharathi Campus, Bangalore

The project has been submitted for developing a Green Neutralizer for the mitigation of malodorous compounds in ambient air generated from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill sites. Through this innovative endeavour, our aim is to establish a robust framework for neutralizing odours, enhancing air quality, and ultimately cultivating a healthier environment conducive to the prosperity of the community.

CPCB Submitted Project: Development of a Biotechnological Process for Efficient Treatment and Management of Landfill Gases, Enhancing Air Quality, and Improving Community Health in and around the MSW Landfill Site at Rajiv Nagar, Bhalswa, Delhi

Partnered Organizations:
  • NORMI Research Foundation, India
  • University of Delhi South Campus (DU), Delhi
  • Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-Delhi)
  • Bangalore University (BU), Jnanabharathi Campus, Bangalore
  • Pondicherry University (PU), Central University of Pondicherry

Development of a biotechnological process using a product with a consortium (Bio Enzyme) for treating landfill gases aims to enhance air quality, mitigate odour, and improve community health. This involves a comprehensive assessment of public health for residents living near the MSW landfill site, including existing health assessments and predictive analysis of carcinogenic substances with future aspects.

DST Submitted Project: Development of an indigenous instrument for odour and odorous compound monitoring in relation to disaster management

Project funded and guided by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) Govt. of India, under the “National Programme on Electronic and ICT Applications in Agriculture and Environment (AngiEnlcs),” AQ-AIMS aligns seamlessly with the “Make in India” and “Digital India” initiatives.

Partnered Organizations:
  • Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Kolkata, Govt. of India
  • Technology Innovation in Exploration & Mining Foundation (TEXMiN), IIT (ISM) Dhanbad
  • J.M. EnviroLab Pvt. Ltd., Gurgaon Haryana

Quantify the olfactory annoyances and the human health risks, including carcinogenic risks and the non-carcinogenic risks for occupational workers. To develop an indigenous sensor for odorous compound monitoring (H2S, C2H6H, CH3SH, CS2, NH3, CH3NH2, TVOC, CH4, C2H6, C3H8, C4H10, C6H6, C7H8, C8H10, C2H4, R-CHO, C4H8O, C4H8O2, C6H12O, CH2O, C3H9N, C2H6S, Total reduced sulphur).

BIRAC Submitted Project: A novel physics-based process for treatment of Leachate and its impact on the health status of the nearby community

Institutes Involved:
  • NORMI Research Foundation, Gurugram, Haryana.
  • Department of Genetics, University of Delhi South Campus (DU), Delhi
  • Scalene Livprotec, Bangalore

Leachate poses a significant environmental and health risk due to its potential to contaminate soil, groundwater, and surface water with toxic substances. Our novel physics-based process for leachate treatment addresses these challenges by effectively removing contaminants, thereby protecting both the environment and the health of nearby communities. This innovative approach aims to enhance water quality, prevent pollution, and ensure a safer, healthier living environment.
