Organic waste: combining compost and biogas. A liquid extract is separated from the waste from organic waste containers and is used to produce biogas.

Artikel

A new method improves the energy balance and processing capacity of composting plants. With the usual composting process, considerable energy is consumed to provide the required mechanical ventilation. In the new method, the liquid organic components of the organic waste are separated in advance and are used for producing biogas. This enables energy to be generated in the plants. For the project, a new biofilm digester has been designed which provides cost advantages relative to other digestion processes.
