Description
The Wastech Recycling project leads to the production of electricity and heat from RES, and to the production of safe agricultural fertiliser from digestate. The expansion of our operations will involve a better waste management, energy efficiency, reduced emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere, and more efficient material management. The annual volume of waste which will be processed as a result of the project implementation will amount to 16,128 tons.
The construction of a new biogas plant with a capacity of 0.499 MW is planned as part of the investment. The technology for the plant will be based on substrate in the form of out-of-date food products after a hygienisation process and removal of packaging. The combined heat and power plant will produce biogas and then generate electricity and heat by burning it in a cogeneration module. The main by-product obtained as a result of the energy production will be processed (disinfected) digestate to be used as an agricultural fertiliser.
The project partner, International Development Norway AS, operates in areas close to the project field, and it has the experience and competences constituting added value for our company. The partner’s advice will concern the determination of optimal parameters for the hygienisation process of digestate in order to achieve a fertilizer microbiologically and parasitologically safe for the environment and people.
