Plant description

The project concerns the construction of a plant, in a stand-alone configuration, consisting of an anaerobic digestion section of the organic fraction deriving from the separate collection (FORSU) with production of bio-methane (energy recovery), quality compost (material recovery) and a mechanical-biological treatment section of residual urban waste (RUR) for the recovery of materials / by-products and energy for self-consumption of the plant . The plant has a maximum treatment capacity of 65,000 t / year for the FORSU treatment section and 80,000 t / year for the RUR treatment section.

The project proposal therefore envisages the conduct of waste management operations R3 – R4 – R13 – D8 – D13 – D15 as indicated in Annex B and C of the fourth part of Legislative Decree.

The activities that take place inside the plant can be divided as follows:

A. FORSU TREATMENT SECTION

  • Mechanical pre-treatments
  • Anaerobic digestion, biogas production, biomethane refining
  • Production of quality compost


B. ORGANIC MECHANICAL TREATMENT RUR

  • Mechanical separation treatments;
  • Anaerobic stabilization, biogas production, cogeneration
  • C.S.S. production


The organic treatment of FORSU produces a quantity of quality compost equal to about 21,000 t / year and biomethane production equal to about 490 Sm3 / h. Instead of the treatment of RUR we obtain a quantity of stabilized organic fraction (FOS) equal to about 19,000 t / year, of recyclable materials equal to about 22,000 t / year and a biogas production equal to about 430 Nm3 / h.
