“…Several treatment methods are applied to treat organic waste, with the anaerobic digestion (AD) technology having, among others, economic value in large-scale applications (Franco et al, 2019; Ghanimeh et al, 2018; Lemões et al, 2018; Maroušek et al, 2018; Nelson et al, 2017; RedCorn et al, 2018; Rosero-Henao et al, 2019). AD is considered an alternative fuel production option for bioenergy production, as it is a biochemical process that converts organic waste into valuable products (Chen, 2017a; Đurđević et al, 2019; Efferth, 2019; Hildebrandt and Bezama 2018; Makarichi et al, 2019; Ruggero et al, 2019). Biogas is an energy-carrier and its composition consists of approximately 66% CH 4 , 33% CO 2 , 0.5% N 2 , 0.1% O 2 , and 103 mg H 2 S (L biogas) −1 (Achinas et al, 2019; Bienert et al, 2019; Sahajwalla, 2018).…”

The biodegradable portion of solid waste generated in farmhouses can be treated for energy recovery with small portable biogas plants. This action can be done across the Netherlands and all around the planet. This study aims to appraise the performance of anaerobic digestion of different wastes (cow manure, food waste and garden waste) obtained from a regional farmhouse. Batch reactors were established under mesophilic conditions in order to investigate the impact of ternary mixtures on the anaerobic digestion process performance. Different mixing ratios were set in the batch tests. The upshots from the experiments connoted that ternary digestion with cow manure:food waste:garden waste mixing ratio of 40:50:10 yielded higher biogas amount. The kinetics’ results showed quite good congruence with the experimental study. The results from the kinetic analysis appeared to be in line with the experimental one.

“…The depletion of fossil fuel sources, the wobbling prices of fuels, and the increased pressure regarding environmental and social aspects have increased the industrial focus towards renewable energy resources such as organic waste [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Organic residues have been considered an inexpensive, renewable, widely available, and environmentally friendly feedstock for biofuels production [10][11][12][13][14].…”

Feasibility Assessment of a Bioethanol Plant in the Northern Netherlands

et al. 2019

Due to the exhaustion and increased pressure regarding the environmental and political aspects of fossil fuels, the industrial focus has switched towards renewable energy resources. Lignocellulosic biowaste can come from several sources, such as industrial waste, agricultural waste, forestry waste, and bioenergy crops and processed into bioethanol via a biochemical pathway. Although much research has been done on the ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass, the economic viability of a bioethanol plant in the Northern Netherlands is yet unknown, and therefore, examined. In this thesis, the feasibility study of a bioethanol plant treating sugar beet pulp, cow manure, and grass straw is conducted using the simulation software SuperPro Designer. Results show that it is not economically viable to treat the tested lignocellulosic biomass for the production of bioethanol, since all three original cases result in a negative net present value (NPV). An alternative would be to exclude the pretreatment step from the process. Although this results in a lower production of bioethanol per year, the plant treating sugar beet pulp (SBP) and grass straw (GS) becomes economically viable since the costs have significantly decreased.

“…Different treatment processes are implemented to treat organic waste, with the anaerobic digestion (AD) technology having among others economic merit in large-scale utilization [8][9][10][11]. The biochemical process of AD that converts organic waste into useful products is regarded as another choice for bioenergy production [12][13][14][15][16]. Biogas is an energy carrier and its composition consists of 66% CH 4 , 33% CO 2 , 0.5% N 2 , 0.1% O 2 , and 103 mg H 2 S (L biogas −1 ) [17].…”

The organic residues generated in grasslands can be treated by adopting anaerobic digestion technology. This technology can enhance the efforts for sustainable waste management around the world. In the northern Netherlands, there is a vast amount of ditch clippings and canal grasses that can be used as a renewable source of energy; however, optimal bioenergy production from grasses is still under research and this study aims to evaluate biogas production from grassy residues at the local level in the context of a sustainable waste management scheme. Batch tests were facilitated to investigate the impact of temperature and organic load on the anaerobic digestion performance of grass mixtures (ditch clippings and canal grasses). The results showed that high temperature favors the degradation of high lignocellulosic materials like grasses. Specifically, bioreactors at 55 °C with an organic load of 30 g volatile solids (VS)∙L−1 reached 360.4 mL∙g VSsubstrate−1. Moreover, reactors with low organic loads resulted in a lower methane yield. The kinetics study also showed good fitting of the predicted and experimental values.
