LMC asks federal govt to take lead in establishing waste processing plant

The Lalitpur Metropolitan City (LMC) has asked the federal government to take the lead in establishing a waste processing plant.

Electricity generated with poultry waste!

CHITWAN, August 15: One may wonder by hearing that a generator of 62 KVA is running smoothly with the biogas produced with poultry waste. Yes, it is materialized by an entrepreneur Arjun Aryal from east Chitwan. The electricity generated from poultry waste is used in the poultry farm. He informed that the electricity worth Rs 100,000 is generated every month. It is a unique way of earning, he added. Owner of Annapurna Poultry Bidders Farm at Jyamire of Khairahani Municipality-1, Aryal said the electricity was generated by spending Rs 1.2 million. After its effectiveness, additional amount was invested to produce electricity in a modern way. Ultra-modern CSTR technology is adopted to produce the electricity. For this, the World Bank provided the grant of Rs 5.2 million under the energy development company, Aryal added. After the production of electricity, the poultry waste does not emit foul smell, but become more useful compost. Aryal has planned to augment the production of biogas from a 2,000 cubic meter dome. The World Bank has also approved his proposal. For the mega project, some Rs 120 million is required. With this, the electricity needed for the poultry farm with 215,000 chickens would be produced. It runs a 250 KVA generator. Among the total investment, the World Bank would provide Rs 40 million. Currently, there are 100 thousand chickens in the farm. Modern pens are also being constructed to suffice 215 thousand chickens. Aryal, who is bringing in modern pens, joined this business in 2052BS by quitting the government job. Born at Jyatha, Kathmandu, in 2008BS, Aryal has done MA in economics. He had begun job at Nepal Bank at the age of 18. Aryal was appointed Director at Secondary Education Development Project by then Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala in 2050BS. After he relieved from the Director post, he began the poultry farming. "We've imported automatic cage for the first time in Nepal," he said, stressing the need of modernizing business with the adoption of technology. The farm is run in two bighas and 10 katthas of land. The poultry farming was begun with 60,000 chickens. There is high demand of eggs produced in his farm. The poultry waste which is generally wasted is utilized for the electricity production, he said, adding that the compost produced after the use of poultry waste has enough amount of nitrogen.
