"THE SYNERGY OF TWO EQUIPMENT COMBINED, COULD BE UTILIZED FOR THE CLEANING-UP OF UGLY RIVERS"

ABSTRACT
A great deal of the enormous amount of waste produced worldwide, are ending up into rivers, turning these once blue flowing of water into black dead currents, in many places. In the meantime, new technologies are introduced in dealing with waste management, in the form of packaged units, needing a minimum space requirement; while producing valuable products.

Rivers cleaning-up by dredging barges have been applied in the recent years, in certain countries (the Hudson River Dredging Project,) and varieties of design models are available for the equipment involved.

In this article an additional application of a new technology in the waste management (Omni Processor) is proposed, via installing such packaged units on board on the dredging barges, for the cleaning - up of ugly rivers.

INTRODUCTION

Now a days, everyone of us may find a few ugly rivers in our country, here and there worldwide; similar to those once blue currents, but listed in the following unbearable scenes now:

11 Most Polluted Rivers in the World

Attention swimmers: beware the dangers lurking below the surface of the most polluted rivers in the world, February 27, 2012.

One out of the 11 most polluted rivers, as an example:

Buriganga River – Dhaka, Bangladesh

Nearly 4 million people in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, are exposed to the consequences of water pollution every day. The chemical waste of mills and factories, home waste, medical waste, sewage, dead animals, plastics, and oil are some of the Buriganga's pollutants.

This ugly problem, facing many countries were somehow elaborated before, in the following article, as a precursor for the present one:

A SAMPLE RIVER C LEAN - UP : Here is a sample river cleaning - up (t he Hudson River Dredging Project,) in the USA, executed in the recent years, which it is going to be completed soon:

DREDGING BARGES: Dredging barges and equipment are available in varieties of forms and designs, as images outlined on the following link: https://www.google.ch/search?q=Dredging+facilities+for+rivers+cleaning-up.&source=+lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAmoVChMIr7Ob2t26xwIVwb8UCh1tNwdF&biw=1067&bih=539&gws_rd=cr&ei=dfjaVZT2OIyXsAGQtI_ADg

Out of which one may select the appropriate ones, for a river - cleaning
project.

A NEW TECHNOLOGY IN THE WASTE MANAGEMENT : Also, on the other hand, new technologies such as the Omni Processor packaged units are introduced recently, which burns wastes and produce electrical energy, drinking water and ash, to be used as fertilizers, as follows:

The The undersigned has already proposed the application of the Omni Processor, among its other potential applications, for the remedy and cleaning -up of the Ganges river and the like ones, worldwide, as following

THE SYNERGY OF TWO EQUIPMENT COMBINED: In fact, in the proposed scheme before, for the remedy of the Ganges river, it is
recommended that, the Omni Processor , MODEL S200, to be installed, here and there on the river's banks, near the in-flowing untreated sludge locations:

"THE THEN POIGNANT RIVER THAMES AND THE GANGES RIVER OF TODAY"

It is finally now proposed that the dredging barges to be equipped with the Omni Processor, MODEL S200 package units, on board, for the parallel cleaning-up of the rivers deposits and its floating mess, for which the synergistic outcome will be quite remarkable, since the dredged wastes are already converted into valuable products, on board and there would be no need for the dredged deposits to be carried over for land disposals / land fills.
