The BMC chief also directed officials to improve operational efficiency and strengthen mitigation measures where required
The chief inspected the waste segregation centre, composting unit, waste-to-energy plant, and the bio-reactor landfill site during the visit
The BMC said bio-enzyme-based liquid is being sprayed on waste at the site to minimise foul smell and reduce inconvenience to residents living nearby
In addition, fragrance-based solutions are being sprayed through a misting system installed around the waste receiving area. The civic body stated that 11 misting cannon systems are currently operational at the project site for odour control
According to the BMC, the Kanjurmarg municipal solid waste management project is spread across 118.14 hectares, or nearly 292 acres
The civic body said around 5,200 metric tonnes of municipal solid waste are processed daily through bio-reactor technology, while another 1,000 metric tonnes are treated using composting technology.
