The aim of the solar greenhouse project is to offer conceptual design of sewage sludge drying greenhouse for the cluster of office buildings (termed as campus) of Infosys Limited in Bangalore, with the knowledge of local conditions & boundaries, sludge quantity & quality, and the available engineering concepts of India & Germany.

The main reasons for sewage sludge drying inclusive stabilization within greenhouse:

  • Reduce disposal costs due to mass reduction,
