The excess electrical energy generated can be selling to the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB). The 2D model of napkin incinerator created using both Auto CAD and ANSYS software. The 3D model of napkin incinerator created using ANSYS software. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is done in the incinerator with ANSYS software. The Cost estimation is also created. The disposal system of diapers and sanitary napkins are designed for Parappanangadi municipality in Malappuram district which contain 45 wards, for hygienic environment.
