30 Other waste management applications: Brown bin waste Use of brown bin waste (organic fraction of municipal solid waste) for the production of biomethane (renewable natural gas). R. O Shea, I. Kilgallon, D. Wall, J.D. Murphy, Applied Energy, 175 (16), What other sustainable technologies (other than landspreading) can be implemented for biosolids management in future biomethane production sites?
31 Other waste management applications: Brown bin waste Base case: No use of biogas/ biomethane for energy demands 31
32 Comparisons Other waste management applications: Brown bin waste AD + biogas upgrade + digestate to agricultural land AD + biogas upgrade + digestate to gasification + CHP No. of sites 5 5 (adjacent to AD sites) Capacity Transportation of final product to disposal/use Energy footprint of treatment system Carbon footprint of treatment system Heat integration 0,000-1,000 t per annum wet waste 9-12 MW th biomethane kw OR GWh per annum 4,000-5,0 t per annum of dry digestate kw el kw OR GWh per annum 8-12 MWh per t dry digestate 6-9 MWh per t dry digestate kt CO 2-eq per annum OR t CO 2-eq per t digestate Over % of biomethane would be required for heat demands kt CO 2-eq per annum OR t CO 2-eq per t digestate Gasification provides 15% of heat requirements and power surplus >% 32
33 Concluding Remarks 1) Energy recovery: feasible covering potentially all energy demands on-site. 2) Integration of anaerobic digestion and thermal conversion offers higher process efficiencies. 3) Costs of operation are competitive Although a heavy capital expenditure is required (large scales are profitable). 4) Thermal conversion can reduce further carbon footprint of wastewater treatment processes. 5) Scale and capital investment are key issues. 6) It is vital evaluating optimal sludge collection schemes for centralised TC and energy recovery. 7) Decentralised thermal treatment and waste co-processing. 33
