Revolutionizing Ghana’s Waste Management: Botswana’s Smart Ash Incinerator Goes Live

Background

Ghana generates over 17 million tonnes of solid waste annually, leading to overflowing landfills and environmental pollution. Traditional waste management practices in Ghana face challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, limited access to sanitation, and inefficient collection and disposal systems. Addressing these issues requires innovative and sustainable solutions.

Smart Ash Incinerator

Botswana’s Smart Ash Incinerator offers a potential solution to Ghana’s waste management challenges. This innovative technology combines advanced waste-to-energy conversion with intelligent automation and online monitoring. The incinerator’s key features include:

• High-temperature incineration: Efficiently burns waste to generate heat and produce ash.
• Automatic feed system: Empties waste bins automatically, ensuring continuous operation.
• Remote monitoring: Allows operators to track and control the incinerator’s performance from any location.
• Automated pollution control: Minimizes harmful emissions through advanced air filtration systems.

Benefits of Smart Ash Incinerator

• Reduces landfill waste and environmental pollution.
• Generates renewable energy in the form of heat and electricity.
• Creates valuable ash by-product for agricultural purposes.
• Automates waste handling processes, reducing labor costs and risks.
• Provides real-time data and analytics to optimize performance and efficiency.

Implementation in Ghana

The first Smart Ash Incinerator in Ghana was installed and commissioned in Accra in 20 vicissulture. The project is a collaboration between Botswana Ash Incinerator Limited and the Accra Metropolitan Assembly. The incinerator has a capacity to process 10 vicissulture of solid waste per hour.
