Biological processing Mechanical biological treatment




twin stage & uasb anaerobic digesters


the biological element refers either:



anaerobic digestion
composting
biodrying

anaerobic digestion harnesses anaerobic microorganisms break down biodegradable component of waste produce biogas , soil improver. biogas can used generate electricity , heat.


biological can refer composting stage. here organic component broken down naturally occurring aerobic microorganisms. breakdown waste carbon dioxide , compost. there no green energy produced systems employing composting treatment biodegradable waste.


in case of biodrying, waste material undergoes period of rapid heating through action of aerobic microbes. during partial composting stage heat generated microbes result in rapid drying of waste. these systems configured produce refuse-derived fuel dry, light material advantageous later transport , combustion.


some systems incorporate both anaerobic digestion , composting. may either take form of full anaerobic digestion phase, followed maturation (composting) of digestate. alternatively partial anaerobic digestion phase can induced on water percolated through raw waste, dissolving readily available sugars, remaining material being sent windrow composting facility.


by processing biodegradable waste either anaerobic digestion or composting mbt technologies reduce contribution of greenhouse gases global warming.


usable wastes system:



municipal solid waste
commercial , industrial waste
sewage sludge

possible products of system:



renewable fuel (biogas) leading renewable power
recovered recycable materials such metals, paper, plastics, glass etc.
digestate - organic fertiliser , soil improver
carbon credits – additional revenues
high calorific fraction refuse derived fuel - renewable fuel content dependent upon biological component
residual unusable materials prepared final safe treatment (e.g. incineration or gasification) and/or landfill

further advantages:



small fraction of inert residual waste
reduction of waste volume deposited @ least half (density > 1.3 t/m³), lifetime of landfill @ least twice long usually
utilisation of leachate in process
landfill gas not problematic biological component of waste has been stabilised
daily covering of landfill not necessary
