DESIGN OF TECHNICAL ALTERNATIVES FOR THE TREATMENT OF SOLID WASTE IN THE CITY OF MANAGUA

Client: Ayuntamiento de la Ciudad de Managua

Objectives

In the development of this project, EKOTEK has designed the integral waste management system for the city of Managua (Nicaragua). The most important aspect of this project is the selection of a final disposal/treatment system for this waste and the design of the preferred technical option. To this end, the different phases that constitute the integral waste management system have been attended to, from initial generation / production of waste and the possibility of a reduction at source, passing through a system of selective collection that foments recycling and/or re-use, and concluding with a final system for treatment of and/or energy recovery from the waste that best suits the characteristics of the area, all on the basis of technical, economic, financial, social and environmental criteria.

Results

This project has given the City of Nicaragua a modern, up-to-date treatment and disposal system for municipal solid waste that is suitable for its main requirements and that incorporates the most advanced European technology in order to guarantee the maximum safety both for the environment and for public health.
