Sicilian potential biogas production

Abstract: This study is aimed at predicting the Sicilian potential biogas production, using the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW), animal manure and food industry by-products, in a region where only one biogas plant using MSW and one co-digestion plant are nowadays available. The statistical data about OFMSW, the number of animals bred in medium and large farms and the amounts of by-products of food processing industries were evaluated, in order to compute the Sicilian potential biogas and energy product… Show more

“…Compost, which can be used as a soil improver, organic fertilizer and growing substrate, according to Italian Legislative Decree 75/2010, has not to exceed limit values of human and animal indicator pathogens, as well as potentially toxic elements (heavy metals), aerobic biological activity, physical contaminants (impurities) and weed seeds. Compost tends to have an alkaline pH (7)(8)(9), which can affect the availability of nutrients. The spreading of compost, that is a stable and pollutant free material, also contributes to carbon sequestration, as its organic matter is incorporated into the soil.…”

“…Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is a process for converting organic wastes, for example, animal husbandry effluents; plant biomass [6], food industry by-products, sewage sludge and Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW), including food waste, into biogas and digestate [4,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…This is a universally popular utilization method. During anaerobic digestion biogas and post-digestion liquid are produced, which can be used instead of mineral fertilizers [14][15][16][17][18]. Methane fermentation is a natural process -it is conducted in anaerobic conditions with the participation of microorganisms: acidogenic, acetogenic and methanogenic bacteria.…”

“…of MSW per year (430 kg/person/year), of which the 37% (159 kg/person/year) can represent the organic fraction, even if the OFMSW treated is only the 3% ca. of MSW (Comparetti et al, 2013b;Cucchiella et al, 2014).…”
