The anaerobic co-digestion of the Sewage Sludge (SS) arising from an existing Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) mixed at different proportion with the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) has been investigated by the aid of batch laboratory tests. The amount of Biogas produced is strongly influenced by the amount of OFMSW exploited. The maximum value of about 600 ml/gTS is achieved for a OFMSW Total Solids concentration in the SS of 6% w/w. The maximum net electrical renewable energy producible by the biogas arising from the anaerobic section of the WWTP is of about 6,700 kWh per day. The maximum size of the Internal Combustion Engine fuelled with the biogas is of about 330 kWe.

Abstract
The anaerobic co-digestion of the Sewage Sludge (SS) arising from an existing Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) mixed at different proportion with the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) has been investigated by the aid of batch laboratory tests. The amount of Biogas produced is strongly influenced by the amount of OFMSW exploited. The maximum value of about 600 ml/gTS is achieved for a OFMSW Total Solids concentration in the SS of 6% w/w. The maximum net electrical renewable energy producible by the biogas arising from the anaerobic section of the WWTP is of about 6,700 kWh per day. The maximum size of the Internal Combustion Engine fuelled with the biogas is of about 330 kWe.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
