  • Title: Anaerobic digestion of extruded OFMSW.
    Author: Novarino D, Zanetti MC.
    Journal: Bioresour Technol; 2012 Jan; 104():44-50. PubMed ID: 22074901.
    Abstract:
    Organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) was used to feed two pilot plants of 1000 l working in anaerobic conditions. The OFMSW had previously been treated using a system of extrusion which, due to exerted pressure, separates the undesired fractions of waste from organic waste and reduces the organic fraction in a kind of homogeneous jam. Pilot tests were performed in semi-continuous conditions with a stepwise progressive increase of the total solids content (TS) of the input material from 3% TS w/w (1.5 g VS l(-1) d(-1) organic loading rate) to 10% TS w/w (4.3 g VS l(-1) d(-1) organic loading rate) using activated sludge as diluting agent. The average specific biogas production obtained was 600 l kg(-1)VS. When the input TS content was increased to 10% w/w, the biogas average specific production went up to 800 l kg(-1)VS. The methane content in the biogas was always higher than 60% measured by volume.
