Combination of waste processing between MASARO plastic refinery unit and maggots technology

Abstract

Abstract The evaluation of MASARO plastic refinery unit and maggots waste processing strategies’ efficacy, environmental impact, and economic analysis is at the center of the issue formulation in this study. Waste processing through MASARO plastic refinery unit requires incinerators, pyrolysis, and wet scrubber units. On the other side, maggots are used in waste processing because of their capacity to swiftly degrade the waste without negative impacts on the environment. Waste reduction is a parameter that can be used to measure the performance of waste processing. The percentages of waste reduction achieved by using MASARO plastic refinery unit can surpass 90% whereas maggots can range from 65.5% to 78.9%. The environmental impacts of MASARO plastic refinery unit and maggots technology are low. The flue gas qualities from MASARO plastic refinery unit are almost below threshold limits so it does not harm the environment. Likewise, waste processing using maggots has almost no negative impacts due to low emissions of CO2, CH4, SO2, and N-element. From an economic point of view, the MASARO process can provide an annual revenue of $3,840,000. Meanwhile, the anticipated annual revenue from waste processing using maggots is $55,000 if they are sold for $1000 per ton.
