1 The Waste Minimisation and Recycling Interest Group Workshop on Organic Waste, Legislation, Policy & Practice Waste to Energy: Anaerobic digestion & Co-digestion technologies by Therése Luyt 17 May 2012 PD Naidoo & Associates Consulting Engineers (Pty) Ltd

2 Contents Why and where do we start? Know your waste stream Definition of organic waste Main applications Technologies (Germany experience) Anaerobic digestion Co-fermentation Composting

3 Why Waste-to-Energy? Renewable energy source Reduce GHG emissions & mitigate global warming Organic waste high in energy content Convert into biogas, which contains methane (CH4) Production of electricity & heat by AD of organic waste Job creation Low water input Generate electricity or fuel

4 Waste management hierarchy Waste minimisation Source: National Waste Management Strategy, 2011

5 Benefits for municipalities Presents municipalities with various advantages Reduce amount of waste to landfill Saving landfill airspace Reduction in transport costs Energy currently lost at LFS, compressed & used as vehicle fuel to replace fossil fuelled transportation, home cooking or injection to public grid Municipalities to assess potential partners (PPP services) to implement & maintain facilities

6 Where do we start? Know your waste stream Necessary step for any effective waste management system How much tonnes per day? What s in the waste (composition)?

7 Waste composition City of Cape Town 2007/2008: 168t DEA&DP (3 districts + 2 CPT landfills) 2008: 42t PDNA undertook 2 waste characterisation studies PDNA (pilot project) 1t Infrastruktur &Umwelt/PDNA 3t

8 Waste composition Food waste & garden greens ~ 29% Recyclables >30%

9 Definition of organic waste Organic waste is anything that comes from plants or animals that is biodegradable Type Waste from agriculture, horticulture, forestry, hunting & fishing, food preparation & processing Waste from WWTW Waste from leather, fur & textile industries Municipal waste organic fraction (domestic, restaurants, hospitals, abattoir etc) Waste from wood processing & production of panels & furniture

10 Main applications Once municipality understands potential for energy in their solid waste, they must decide how best to implement options available to them Agricultural biogas plants Landfill gas recovery MSW treatment WWTW

11 Technologies Germany experience Biogas facility Hospital food waste Co-fermentation at WWTW Composting at Municipal Treatment Plant

12 Biogas facility Bioenergie Schlitters GmbH, Austria

13 Bioenergie Schlitters GmbH, Austria Owner: Farmer (2.9m investment costs) Input: 6,000 t/a - food/kitchen waste, bio-waste, expired food (supermarkets) Output: Installed electrical capacity = 330kW (tariff 0.11c/kWh) 85% electricity fed into grid 80% heat sold

14 Bioenergie Schlitters GmbH, Austria 4 Stages: 1. Transport, delivery, storage & pre-treatment of substrates 2. Biogas production in AD 3. Storage of digestate, conditioning & utilisation 4. Storage of biogas, conditioning & utilisation Note: 1m 3 methane (CH 4 ) = 9.97 kwh 4 1m 3 biogas = kwh overall 1m 3 biogas = kwh el Biogas from organic waste = 100m 3 /t ~200kWh/t of organic fraction from MSW

15

16 Hospital food waste Hospital, Rosenheim (Other applications: industrial kitchens, canteens, hotels and restaurants)

17 Biomaster (how it works) Biomaster 1 Transport Biotank (fibreglass) Collection

18 Co-fermentation at WWTW Moosburg WWTW

19 Increasing biogas yield through addition of liquid organic waste in existing Anaerobic Digester 3 1. Organic storage tanks 2 1 Facts: Population 33,000 (40,000 EW) Design capacity 12,2Ml/d (508m³/h) 2. Dry sludge 3. SBR Plant Electrical output 380kW Plant consumption 292kWh 88kW fed into grid Heat to local community 85% dry sludge content SBR plant to control N levels

20 % sludge - solid Flow diagram 2% organic - solid

21 Composting of garden greens & kitchen waste AVA Abvallverwertung GmbH, Augsburg

22 1 2 3 Delivery & processing

23 Rotting hall, rotated weekly, Sieved into 3 grain sizes 10 weeks

24 18,000 tonnes per annum of quality compost

25 I hope these few slides have given you some fresh ideas and new hope!
