Waste Fermentation and Sand – no Problem?

Anaerobic digestion of biowaste and organic fraction from municipal solid waste (OFMSW), containing certain amounts of contraries such as sand, gravel, glass and plastics is a rather young technology. The growing experience with industrial scale implementation shows the necessity of changing the overall process.

Separation of contraries such as sand, gravel, glass and plastics as a pre-treatment for anaerobic digestion of biowaste and the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) is chiefly implemented to protect the plant equipment. This applies mainly to wet anaerobic digestion but recently also to dry anaerobic digestion. Scum layers are a common problem in wet anaerobic digestion and recently also for the anaerobic digestion of Renewable Raw Materials. Anaerobic digestion (AD) of suspensions containing particulate matter has been widely implemented over the past twenty years. Problems with contraries removal and development of scum layers in the AD reactor are discussed. The technology of anaerobic digestion is therefore possibly not appropriate for suspensions containing particulate matter. The pre-treatment for removal of contraries is generally used only for protection of the equipment and has no further purpose as to energy efficiency, waste management or lower emissions from the plant.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
