ADVANTAGES OF ANAEROBIC DIGESTION OF SOLID WASTE

PRODUCTION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY


(60 TO 100 M OF METHANE/TON)

L ESS ENERGIE NEEDED FOR AERATION OF THE COMPOST PILE 200 TIMES LESS ODOURS THAN AEROBIC COMPOSTING
(BASIS: GRAMS OF VOC PER TON TREATED)

LESS SURFACE AREA NEEDED AS FOR AEROBIC COMPOSTING HIGH PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE

Degradation of organic material:


AEROB C6H12O6 + 6 O2 => 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
Traubenzucker + Sauerstoff => Kohlendioxid + Wasser

Free Energie Go = - 2875 kJ/Mol ANAEROB:

= (Head)

C6H12O6 => 3 CO2 + 3 CH4


Traubenzucker => Kohlendioxid + Methan

Free Energie Go = - 132 kJ/Mol

= (Methane)

Result: Aerobe composting needs 20 times more energy then anaerobe digesting. The remaining energy is in the Methane.

PLANT OPERATING
Around 50 % of the output from a fermantation Box is needet for the mixture with the fresch incoming biowaste. The mixture remains 4 weeks in the fermantation box. Filling and emtying is only done by wheehlloader. Bevore a box can be open, it has to be co2purged in order to flush al methane out. This mixture goes to the powerplant and is burned.

Economie of waste recycling


Profit:
RDF production (we save around 20.000 t of oil per year)
Kompost-produktion (in some countries 1 t costs more then 100 ) Methan-production ( we produce around 2 MW from digestion) Metall recycling Avoiding of a landfill ( an engeered Landfill can cost 10 per m3)

Costs:
Investment Finanzial costs Operation costs
71 Symposium on Anaerobic Digestion of Municipal Organic Solid Waste - March 2013 Mexico City

My opinion:
In the future the recycled material will be of increesing value. The costs of the recycling will decrease do to technical development The environmentel impact of the landfilling of untreated waste becomes unacceptable . Lets work together to develop a better waste policy worldwide.
