Title: Environmental aspects of the anaerobic digestion of the organic fraction of municipal solid wastes and of solid agricultural wastes.
Authors: Edelmann, W.1 arbi@biogas.ch, Baier, U.2 u.baier@hsw.ch, Engeli, H.3
Source: Water Science & Technology. 2005, Vol. 52 Issue 1/2, p203-208. 6p.
Subjects: Anaerobic digestion, Agricultural wastes & the environment, Organic waste purification, Life cycle costing, Composting, Incineration, Manures, Emissions (Air pollution)
Abstract: In order to obtain more detailed information for better decision making in future biogenic waste treatment, different processes to treat biogenic wastes in plants with a treatment capacity of 10,000 tons of organic household wastes per year as well as agricultural codigestion plants were compared by life cycle assessments (LCA). With the tool EcoIndicator, anaerobic digestion is shown to be advantageous as compared to composting, incineration or a combination of digestion and composting, mainly because of a better energy balance. The management of the liquid manure in agricultural codigestion of organic solid wastes causes increased gaseous emissions, which have negative effects on the LCA, however. It is recommended to cover the slurry pit and to use an improved manure management in order to compensate for the additional gaseous emissions. In the LCAs, the quality of the digester output could only be taken into account to a small extent; the reasons are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
