The project concerns the construction of a plant in a stand-alone configuration, consisting of both anaerobic digestion section of the organic fraction deriving from the separate collection of urban waste (OFMSW) with bio-methane production (energy recovery) and quality compost (material recovery) and a mechanical-biological treatment section of mixed municipal solid waste (M.S.W) for the recovery of materials / products and energy for the plant’s self-consumption.

 

The plant has a maximum treatment capacity of 65.000 t/year for the OFMSW treatment section and 80.000 t/year for the M.S.W treatment section. The project 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 152/2006. The activities that take place within the plant can be divided as follows:

 

OFMSW treatment section

  • Mechanical pretreatments;
  •  Anaerobic digestion, biogas production, biomethane refining;
  • Production of quality compost.

 

M.S.W treatment section

 

  • Mechanical separation treatments;
  • Anaerobic stabilization, biogas production, energy cogeneration;
  • Aerobic biostabilization of organic waste;
  • Material recovery;
  • RDF production.

 

The organic treatment of OFMSW produces a high quality compost equal to about 21.000 t/year and biomethane production equal to about 490 Sm³/h. In the M.S.W treatment section we obtain a quantity of stabilized organic fraction (O.F) about 19.000 t/year, recyclable materials about 22.000 t/year and a biogas production about 430 Nm³/h.
