To introduce the learners to the core concepts of solid waste management. They will get basic knowledge about the various types of solid waste, sources, collection types and vehicles, transfer stations, the latest treatment technologies, and secured landfill disposal methods. The learners will be exposed to the fundamentals of engineering design, policy guidelines, and smart technology-based solutions
This course is a unique blend of core concepts of engineering and management for enriching knowledge and skill development on solid waste management. The course will provide a roadmap for learners to understand the fundamentals applied in solid waste collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal with brief introduction on policy and governance. These concepts weaved with demonstrations and real case studies/projects through digital platform will enrich the intricacy of learners to be employable. The practical use cases in biogas technology, composting, material recovery facility, derived fuel technologies, pyrolysis, and on special waste will ensure the learners skill development towards circular economy in waste management. The course is curated with a learner centric approach to provide exposure to design, with practical demonstrations, hands-on exercises, and projects.
Learners will be able to set up and apply solutions for real-time solid waste issues in society, abiding by financial, operational, and governance capacities. The course will help them to arrive at management solutions for reduction, reuse, and recycling of waste depending on the nature and characteristics of municipal solid waste. Learners will learn about planning and designing systems for recycling, material recovery facilities, incineration, composting, and landfill selection for municipal solid waste. The course will enable learners to develop smart technology solutions through modelling and sensor networks for the collection and monitoring of solid waste.
