Sweden-based plasma technology firm among 13 bidders for Chandigarh’s waste processing plant
Sweden-based firm equipped with plasma technology is among 13 companies that have come forward to bid for running and reviving the sole waste processing plant of Chandigarh.
Sources said that the company has proposed to use ‘plasma arc gasification (PAG)’ waste-treatment technology, which will employ a combination of electricity and high temperatures to turn municipal waste into usable by-products, without burning it.
It is further said that the procedure will reduce the volume of waste sent to landfills and at the same time, generate electricity.
Sources said that Chandigarh Mayor and some councillors are in favour of signing up Plasma Technology for waste processing here. However, officials are yet to find any conclusive results of using the technology in India to carry out waste management.
