Aluminum Recycling- An Untapped Market still to be developed rapidly

 

How to Start an Aluminum Scrap Recycling Business in India?

This article focuses on the aluminum recycling process, the cost estimates for setting up aluminum recycling plants, and the benefits to the business.

Have you decided to start a profitable and profitable business? In this post, I have created a business plan template that you can use to organize your aluminum scraps. This article also presents the aluminum recycling process, the estimated cost to set up aluminum recycling, and the revenue for this industry.

aluminum is used in many products such as tin cans, foils, household appliances, household appliances, window frames, consumer durables, electrical tools and aircraft equipment. According to the International Aluminum Institute (IAI), 75% of the approximately 900 million tons of aluminum produced worldwide since 1880 is still used in manufacturing.
It seems that 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still usable due to its durability and recyclability.

Recycling does not affect the quality of the aluminum - it can be recycled, so aluminum retains its high residual properties. Almost 100% of the aluminum produced during aluminum production is recycled. For this reason, aluminum scrap is considered one of the most important scraps in the world.

The advantages of using recycled materials are low cost, low energy consumption, low material usage and 100% total recyclability.
Therefore, you might consider investing in the renewable energy business.

GRID INTERACTIVE BATTERY INVERTERS

When it comes to Solar Engineering, it is either gird connected or outside the gird that primarily comes to our mind but there are certain cases of hybrid inverters that work on battery as well as the grid and direct solar, probability being the power to remain for the maximum hours. Well the thinkers do not stop there to bring the concept of Grid interactive battery inverters now which is still not much popular but would eventually become the most effective. 
A large portion of the energy generated by a typical PV system will be exported to the grid and there is increasing demand for solutions to enable better use of this energy through the use of energy storage.

• Adding battery storage enables this excess generation to be stored for use later when consumption is higher than generation. 

• Some systems can also provide backup power in the event of grid failure.

• These inverters use a battery bank for energy storage and will not operate without batteries. They are used in addition to grid connect solar inverters.

Grid-interactive battery inverters, can export power to the utility grid, can charge a battery using surplus energy for use in times of low generation and some can also supply backup power to protected loads during a grid outage.Depending upon inverter type and which loads need to be powered an automatic transfer switch that enables them to safely operate off-grid during a blackout may also be required.For back-up applications the inverter is connected to the battery bank (usually 24 or 48 VDC), an AC distribution board for loads needing back-up, and the building supply, using an automatic transfer switch if required.
The battery bank is charged by the PV array connected through a charge controller or through the battery inverter via AC coupling and an energy meter is used to measure import/export.
If more power is being generated than being used then instead of it being exported to the grid it is instead sent to charge the battery. As loads increase above generation and power starts to be imported it is instead taken from that stored in the battery.
During a power cut, the switch box will automatically disconnect from the grid and supply AC power to the protected loads by drawing energy from the battery bank and solar array. When the grid is restored, the inverter will automatically switch back to grid-connect operation and recharge the batteries.

Some energy is used to maintain the battery bank. Because of this systems with battery backup produce less energy (kWh) per kW of PV array than equivalent grid-tie systems that don’t include batteries.

Adding Storage to Grid Connected PV Systems

A large portion of the energy generated by a typical PV system will be exported to the grid and there is increasing demand for solutions to enable better use of this energy through the use of energy storage.

Adding battery storage enables this excess generation to be stored for use later when consumption is higher than generation. As electricity prices rise this sort of battery storage system will become more and more cost effective. Some systems can also provide backup power in the event of grid failure.

Types of Energy Storage Systems

These can be broadly described as one of three types with the following features:

a) DC Coupled Energy Storage

• Here the battery is connected on the PV side of the solar inverter
• A high voltage battery (to match PV voltage) is used to store the energy when it’s generated for when it’s needed
• There is some (slight) reduction in the PV feed in tariff due to energy used in battery charge/discharge process
• No requirement to inform the DNO about changes to the system connected to the grid
• Not possible to charge the battery from cheap rate electricity
• Usually no operation in the event of a power cut

b) AC Coupled Energy Storage

• Here the battery is connected on the AC side of the solar inverter
• An additional battery inverter/charger is required to convert battery power to 230 Vac and vice versa
• There is no effect on the PV feed in tariff
• DNO approval needs to be obtained
• Possible to charge the battery from cheap rate electricity
• Back-up may be possible with additional switchgear

c) AC Coupled Energy Storage with Back-up

• Allows operation in event of a power cut
• Extra protection relays are required to enable AC loads to be run either from grid or from the battery and to provide a new neutral earth connection
• These can be included in inverter/charger
• Requires DNO approval

Not all installers are familiar with the issues and benefits of energy storage. We run regular training courses for installers on this topic and can provide recommendations:

 Find an installer

Why implement grid backup?

• Get security for the future - from power cuts and rising energy bills
• Have the ability to use most or all of your generation - your energy costs less than importing grid energy
• Bask in the knowledge that you are your own power station

The system consists of:

• A solar inverter - to connect the solar photovoltaic (PV) panels.
• An inverter/charger - to convert battery power to 230V AC (grid power) and vice versa.
• Batteries - to store the energy when it’s generated, for use when it’s needed. Lead acid or lithium ion.
• Controls for monitoring and control of the system - to make a more efficient system and give you information on the distribution of energy.
• Cabling and switchgear - for efficient and safe operation

Typically a battery store of approximately 5kWh (~200 Ah 48VDC) usable storage might be required. Sealed lead acid batteries are a good choice for low maintenance and safe installation in a house. Lithium Ion batteries offer optimum performance and space savings.

What would India be like if Gandhi Ji were still alive today?

This question has been asked in so many different words around  on Quora and most versions seek to inquire the effect such a hypothetical scenario would have on India, its society, economy, etc.

Now, as implied by the wonderful answer of Nagarajan Srinivas I also believe India would not be very different, for this country is the product of many minds who shaped it as what it has become today.

But I'm answering this question from a different viewpoint I had while wondering why so many people think India could be any different if Gandhi were here today or 'still here'.

I think the fallacy of our hopes and assumptions lie in the fact that we know so little about this man who has been idolized more than anyone else in India. Some love him, some hate him but few understand him enough to know what he represented for those whom he truly influenced.

We all have this one image in our mind when it comes to Gandhi, a kind looking old man who represented 'non-violence' and is remembered as the father of the nation.

This is the same kind, smiling, fatherly image we are used to seeing on our currency and our postage stamps and inside the photo frame in government offices and almost everywhere.

And as a result most of us remember him for what he did but few of us care to think about the long journey he undertook that got him here.

Now, I've always wondered if India would be a different country today had our leaders chosen to put this below image on our currency instead of the above.

This is the young Gandhi who was schooled and educated (unlike most children in our country today - 4% of our children never start school and 58% don’t complete primary schools). Gandhi attended primary school at Porbandar, and later the Albert High School, Rajkot.

This was the Gandhi who showed no particular brilliance, played no games, avoided company and read little beyond text books.

Or perhaps this image

This was the Gandhi who was a Law Student who completed his legal studies in England (Per statistics, less than 10% of the youth in India complete college).

This was the young man who was passionate about learning and once said:

'Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.'

Or perhaps this image:

This was the young Gandhi who went to South Africa to handle a case because he failed as a lawyer in India (Funny how a young man's professional failure is seen as a stigma in our society today).

It was here that he faced racism.

As the story goes, he had a first-class [train] ticket, and he got into the first-class compartment and the ticket inspector said, "This is for whites only" .

Now, as he had just come from England, where — at least in London in the 1890s — professionals who were colored did not face discrimination. So he protested but to no avail, and he was thrown out. No doubt he was humiliated (And in his country for whose freedom he fought, people continue to be humiliated even today).

Or perhaps this image:

This is Gandhi the Lawyer, who after his legal work was over, remained in South Africa for 21 years, fighting for Indian rights and defending indentured labor in low courts against discrimination. (This was the Gandhi who was a fighter! Funny how Gandhism in our own country is limited to showing the other cheek when you get slapped on one).

There was also a great deal of reporting about him in the white press during his time in South Africa. He was a public figure very early on. When he was in his mid-20s, he was being written about sometimes with appreciation, sometimes with reservations, sometimes being vilified. There were often nasty, satirical poems written about him (Much like how the mass and social media tries to belittle the people who are trying to bring about changes in society today).

This was a time when Indians were seen as a threat by the Colonial Europeans. Because many Indians were merchants — they would sometimes even own ships, they were professionals like Gandhi; they were teachers; they could start their own newspapers. (Its quite ironic that India has not learnt from its history - we are not very different today from what we were during Gandhi's time - I often wonder if India would have been a better country if only we knew our history better, the literacy rate would probably be higher and unemployment ratio lower?)

Going back to the story, in that sense, the Indians came into far more direct competition with the ruling whites than the Africans did in the 1890s. And that's why the restrictive racial laws were placed on where they could live, what they could trade, what property they could own, disenfranchising them.

That's where the Gandhi we know little about came in. 'A political animal' is how Ramachandra Guha described him in an interview about his book 'Gandhi before India'

This is now, the same Gandhi who combined his 'opposition to the wrong' with 'sympathy for the wrong-doer' and came up with the unique idea of 'Non-Violence' which helped unite India and attain freedom; I would not describe him as a 'kind and compassionate father who will help free the country from colonial rule' but a 'politically smart young man with a determination to succeed in his endeavor' (Much like any other ambitious youth alive today who also dreams of benefiting humanity and changing the world only with the power of his education and ideas).

Gandhi was smart enough to realize that there was a deep irregularity between the Indians and the Afrikaners [descendants of Dutch settlers in South Africa].

The ruling race had the money and the armed might, plus they were greater in numbers than the Indians. A Violent protest may have helped him get rid of one general or one official, but not without retaliation.

So Gandhi (as described by Guha) very skillfully adopted non-violent protest to challenge the Afrikaners.

I don't think this youthful image of his makes him any less admirable. Perhaps it helps one understand him better and see beyond his 'Savior image' that we have come to rely on.

It helps one realize that 'India produced Gandhi' just the same way that India produced the tons of Engineers and Doctors and Lawyers and Politicians and Businessmen and all ordinary men and women who struggle for dignity and respect everyday in this current time too the way Gandhi struggled back in the colonial times.

Like Vishal Sahasrabuddhe already mentioned, one Gandhi being alive today would not really help the country become better or worse in any way.

Who knows how many more Gandhis are already in the making today, some of them might be studying in a primary school, some engineering, law or medical college or teaching or working in some government institution, or training for IAS or doing anything else for that matter. Who knows if some of them are voicing their opinion here on Quora. Or for all you know it is a she this time.

I think rather than 'speculating about a hypothetical present or future' we need to spend a little bit of our time 'analyzing the past' and 'looking beyond the politicized image of the so called great men' so we don't end up switching our admiration for our heroes 'on' and 'off' based on which direction the political winds blow in; rather we accept the fact that nobody was perfect but there is always something to learn from the lives of famous people all of who have limitations and even make a few mistakes along their way to greatness.

There is no doubt about the fact that Gandhi made extreme sacrifices for what he believed in.

His 'kind old man frugal image' (that we are so used to, politicized beyond any ones' imagination, to make him look larger than life) was also only a result of his simple desire to promote justice in the world. If anything, it represented his courage for standing by his beliefs and helping those without a voice (not some magical super power only super heroes posses).

And mind you, this courage is not something non-existent in the people who live today (that we should sit around hoping for a Gandhi to come back from the past to save us).

It exists in many of us when we voice our opinions against something wrong, like someone once said:

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Gandhi was nothing but an ordinary man who took that single extra-ordinary step and continued on the path.

Jordan Phoenix's answer describes very well the Gandhis and all such men that the world admires and respects so much for their courage.

Also, my long answer does not address the query of this answer because I imagine there is really nothing that Gandhi or any other leader from the past can do that the present folks in India are not already doing.

What if India Was Undivided................

Well if that dream would be true India would have been one of the strongest nations, Undivided. The Kashmir issue would never have been started and the valley would have the greatest boost of tourism. 

As per the Green patch in the map then the Indian sub continent would have a much larger area with 4230928 sq.kilometers. (India- 3,287,263 sq. km, Pakistan - 796,095 sq. km and Bangladesh- 147,570 sq. km) and the combined area of the India Sub continent would have been almost equal to the area of Australia 

India would have been the most populous country in the world by now with a combined population of approximately 1.7 Billion people. 

The Cox's Bazar Beach in Bangladesh which is one of the longest natural sand beach stretching across 150 miles approximately would then have been a part of unified India and would have probably been a major tourist attraction like Goa or Puri. 

The natural resources combined in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh would have been a huge and then and this would have boosted the development of the Indian economy to a much greater extent. 

As the current population of Muslims in the subcontinent is 510 million, with roughly 180 million each in Pakistan and India, and another 150 million in Bangladesh. India would have been the largest Muslim nation.

India would have then been the strongest military with approximately 2205950 Active military personnel.  

• Pakistani Hindus would have had much better life than the one they are currently having.
• India would have had much better access to the world ( Particularly Europe and some parts of Asia) and would have had very huge deals and Petrol prices would have been very much lesser.
• Indian film industry might have been much bigger than the current one.
• India would have had the worlds best Cricket team with most of worlds top cricketing legends like Bishan Singh Bedi, Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Anil Kumble, Imran Khan, Javed Miandad, Hanif Mohammad, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, 
  Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, etc.,
• Our software companies would have had worlds best hackers.
• Unpartitioned India would have been the world’s poorest country with over 600 million hungry people.
• Muslims would not have been as powerful in a United India as they are today in Pakistan or Bangladesh where Muslims are more than 90% of the population in both countries.With 30% Muslim population United India would have seen worst communal riots than the ones India saw in its history. Religious Politics would have prevailed among all parts of the nation encouraging communal violence and India would have been among Top 10 Most Dangerous Countries In The World. All energy would be sucked into keeping the country together. Undivided India would have separate electorates. A democracy with separate electorates is no democracy at all. If India was unpartitioned world would have lost many interesting cricket matches.

Imagine this line up in the 2003 Cricket World Cup (2003 because thats when both India and Pakistan had the best teams IMHO) :)

Sachin Tendulkar
Saeed Anwar
Rahul Dravid
Inzamam ul-Haq
Sourav Ganguly
Anil Kumble
Shahid Afridi
Moin Khan (assuming he was playing in 2003)
Wasim Akram
Waqar Younis
Javagal Srinat

If India and Pakistan was not divided:

1. Both, India and pakistan would have escaped the wrenching experience of Partition with its attendant suffering and continued bitterness.

2. The suffering caused by the secession of Bangladesh could have been avoided.

3. The dispute over Kashmir would not have occurred, with all the attendant terrorism that has distorted life in India.

4. A three-tiered India would have had at least the same industrialisation that has occurred and the areas that are now Pakistan and Bangladesh would have profited from it. It would have been a vast "free trade zone" with no equal in the world.

5. It would have been a democratic republic, without military dictators. There would seem to be no reason why Muslim voters could not have exercised their franchise, just as they do in present-day India.

6. Unpartitioned India would be the word’s largest country (1.4 billion people), the world’s largest Muslim country (500 million) and the world’s poorest country (over 600 million hungry).

7. In undivided India, religion would have dominated political debate, as it did in the 30s and 40s, and consensus on reform would be hard to build internally. All energy would be sucked into keeping the country together.

8. Hindus would never have been able to rule Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan or the Frontier.

9. Undivided India need not have been the world’s poorest country. The resources, attention and energy that have gone into the continued hostility since Partition could have been channeled into development.

10. The foreign policy of India would not have been dominated by relations with Pakistan and Bangladesh with all the attendant distortions.

11. Cricket, a united team of the mid-eighties, Sunil Gavaskar, Miandad, Kapil Dev, Imran Khan, Zaheer, Vengsarkar and Wasim Akram, with Tendulkar and Waqar waiting. The landscape of the game - would have been entirely different.

12. Greater intensity and frequency of Hindu-Muslim riots. Self explanatory.

13. Arms Industry would have lost fortune.

14. The Indian Army (Indian+Pakistan+Banglade

sh) army combined would have theworld’s largest army in terms of military personnel overtaking China. Currently, India is second to China
