About the Course
This course is a unique blend of core concepts for Solid and Hazardous Waste engineering with skill development on waste management practices. The learners will understand the fundamentals applied in solid waste generation, collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal with brief introduction on policy and governance of Swachh Bharat Mission.
These concepts are weaved with demonstrations and real case studies/projects through digital platform, practical use cases in biogas technology, composting, material recovery facility, derived fuel technologies, pyrolysis, and on special waste management. Latest concepts on circular economy, data analytics, wase collection route optimization and application of IoT in waste management are explained with industrial case studies. Skill based projects will enable the skill and knowledge among learners but also make them industry ready to purse challenge and practical implementations.
