Details
Dry anaerobic digestion technologies have emerged in Europe as a viable alternative for processing FOGO. These technologies, especially ‘batch garage digesters’ will be presented together with a comparison of advantages and disadvantages of various anaerobic digestion technologies. Options of integrating ‘batch garage digesters’ into municipal / commercial organics processing strategies rather than in-vessel composting will be shown, together with the cost benefit analysis of a hypothetical facility in NSW.
