摘要

The Waste to Energy Plant in Mancheswar Carriage Repair Workshop at BhubanesWar was inaugurated by Railway Board Member (Rolling Stock) Shri Rajesh Agarwal in presence of General Manager ECoR Shri Vidya Bhushan, Addl. General Manager Shri Sudhir Kumar and Principal Heads of the Departments of East Coast Railway, on 22nd January, 2020. This Waste to Energy Plant, a patented technology called POLYCRACK, is lst-of-its-kind in Indian Railways and 4th in India. It is world's first patented heterogenous catalytic process which converts multiple feed stocks into hydrocarbon liquid fuels, gas, carbon and water. Earlier, lots of non-ferrous scrap generated from the Carriage Repair Workshop had no efficient method of disposal. As a result, these elements were being disposed by landfills, which had environmentally hazardous impact.
