2 Aerobic degradation = 1principle- 3 powerful applications treatment of the biogenic part of mixed waste (MBWT) recovery of metal, refuse derived fuel and material for landfilling composting conversion of various biowaste into compost using self - heating production of renewable fuel Folie 2 von 33
3 For our understanding Biological degradation - an unavoidable incident, takes place inside of a wide range of ambient conditions A typical case of a spontaneous subsiding incident of degradation: wood chips after 5 weeks in a cold storage room (temperature 5 C) result: unusable! Folie 3 von 33
4 Therefore: We should look over a good practice, that is - short process time, - minimal first and operation costs, - lowest odor emissions, - good acceptability, - licensable, - good reputation of products and - best product properties. Folie 4 von 33
5 1. The process of aerobic degradation 1.1 Fundamental Basics Folie 5 von 33
6 Comparison of aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation substance-specific chemical reactions ( classical example: Glucose) aerobic (total formula) : C H O + 6 O ENZYME 6 CO + 6 H O; H = KJ/mol R T Composting is like a slow flameless burning! anaerobic ( total formula ): C H O ENZYME 3 CO + 3 CH ; H = KJ/mol R T combustion of Methane: 6 O + 3 CH 3 CO + 6 H O; H = KJ/mol R T summery reaction: C H O + 6 O 6 CO + 6 H O; H = KJ/mol R T Folie 6 von 33
7 Mass and heat balance of aerobic degradation Folie 7 von 33
8 Objectives of a aerobic process carbon dioxide + residual air air substrat water microorganisms water (vaporous) heat conclusion: It is not possible to realise all conditions without compromises Folie 8 von 33

IM and Methan have to completely consumed in watercoat, that means, we doesn t have this substances in exhaust gas. hydrolysis enzymes aerobic µo-cell substrat waterin soluble extracellular enzymes HO 2 CO 2 O 2 IM= intermediate metabolits= organic acids, higher alcohols... Folie 9 von 33
10 Rotting phases - a technical point of view point of contraflexure heat storage heat release 70 temperature of sanitation optimal temperature = maximum metabolic rate heap temperature in C initial phase thermophilic phase: decomposition phase thermophilic bacterias thermophilic fungi intensiv rotting time reconstruction phase: a mesophilic phase decomposition of persistant organic substances mesophilic bakterias & fungi maximum weeks (depended on used system) rebuilding phase: production of humins ph-value total rotting time months Folie 10 von 33

12 1.2 Properties of the rotting material Folie 12 von 33
13 most important properties: - moisture content - C/N/(P) ratio - ph-value on start (and during process) - pressure loss (of the fixed bed) - Particle shape and size - homogeneity regarding composition and particle size aspects of the daily experience relevant aspects of basic dimensioning (selection of equipment) As economical point of view it is not practicable to determine all properties for each input material! Only simple (but good) auxiliary means and step by step a lot of experiences are needed. Folie 13 von 33
14 moisture content for a lot of cases in practice optimal moisture content: % 2 different functions of water: - essential for metabolism - cooling liquid (evaporative cooling) water loss by saturated exhaust gas! rule: the more the merrier, but too much is terrible moisture regulation perfect material: wood chips dry wet adjustment of an optimal moisture content of too wet material (e.g biowaste) water store for a long-time process without wetting Folie 14 von 33
15 C/N-ratio a critical parameter Adjustment is difficult to realise optimal (on beginning): C/N = : 1 common mixed municipal biowaste C/N= : 1 two potential cases too much nitrogen excrements of poultry and animals insufficient nitrogen old (dead) wood C/N-ratio C/N= 2 10 : 1 C/N= : 1 solution? note mixing with wood chips ammonia emissions anavoidable no direct solution using as structure material and water storage in composting Folie 15 von 33
16 ph - value to the beginning: simply expressed: content of organic acids ph=7 minimum during process: ph=6 In finished compost: ph=8 developing of ph-value during rotting process ph=7 only in very young substrate ph-value ph= 5 6 critical value, danger of acidification note: strong acidification (ph<5) take place (unavoidable) during times of compilation, transport and storage adjustment of ph-value: dry leaves as natural buffer material Folie 16 von 33
17 pressure drop, pore volume (1) typical global parameters, only limited measurable pore volume optimal value: vol % possibility to measure the pressure drop (for flow trough) column: material: HD-PE diameter: 500 mm lenght: mm usable for particle sizes up to 50 mm fixed bed from waste etc. grid: mashes 20 mm volumemeter (Rotameter) air pump air gauge functional principle flow through column ready for filling Folie 17 von 33
18 pressure drop (2) Diff.Druck [Pa] different a herunter lines shows pressure b herunter drop according to compression c herunter set results of such experiments: - design of material - design of aeration Vpkt/A [m³/h/m²] mixing with structure material to reduce the pressure drop and compression set during process example (waste probe MBWT) Folie 18 von 33
19 right pre-treatment of rotting material - more than 50 % of a successful rotting process Biowaste with high content of water as soon as sugar, fat can only treated by a good aerobic process (under acceptance of our understanding) by a intensive pre-treatment with addition of structure and buffer material. Such biowaste are better used in a two-step plant with an anaerobic first step. Folie 19 von 33

28 Summary of open air systems advantages - not expensiv (if not under a roof) - choise under a lot of different solutions - high flexibility - short implementing time disadvantages - exhaust air emission over complete surface of the heap, coating with membranes or carded webs not possible - non forced systems with low aeration efficiency - subject to changes in weather, if not under a roof - not possible to collect and treat emissions - in case of using aeration tubes, danger of void-blockage Folie 28 von 33

45 To the end: aerobic treatment of waste in headlines composting is a ecological solution for a lot of kinds of biowaste biowaste with a high moisture content needs expensive pre-treatment for biowaste with a high energy content, an anaerobic process as a first step is the better solution from the ecological point of view, a high energy consumption of the sophisticated systems is a problem Folie 45 von 33
