Agricultural and food industry waste products can be used to obtain energy – Energy from Waste. Waste products that can be used for energy production are pig and cattle manure, chicken dung, slaughter-house wastes, spent grains, distillery slop, sugar beet press cake, municipal waste water and others.
Recycling of biological wastes gives you following:
- Biogas
Biogas produced in the process of anaerobic digestion can be used as conventional natural gas for heating and energy production. It can be compressed and used as a vehicle fuel; or can be pumped and stored. So you can have your own gas as well.
- Electricity
From one cubic meter of biogas 2 kWh of electricity can be produced (by combusting biogas in co-generation unit)
- Heat
ZORGTM biogas plants produce heat after cooling generator without any additional gas combustion.
- Biological fertilizer
Biologically digested biomass becomes ecologically clear fertilizer (bio-humus) that increases crops yield up to 40-50%.
- Waste products utilization
Natural biological wastes like manure can not be used as a fertilizer at least for 3 years (it should be stored in lagoons). After waste recycling in ZORGTM biogas plant, it is ready for usage without any additional treatment.
- Fuel for vehicles
After some treatment and CO2 removal biogas is pure methane that can be used as vehicle fuel
