Case Studies of Anaerobic Digestion Facilities Managing Biowaste in Compostable Plastic Bags

6 Case Studies of Anaerobic Digestion Facilities Managing Biowaste in Compostable Plastic Bags 

Four case studies of AD facilities treating compostable plastic bags used for the collection of food waste are analysed  

1 Case Study 1 Wet Codigestion with a Hydropuiper Compostabie Bags can switch from Disposai (Route 3) to Materiai Recovery (Route 2) 

A well-established pretreatment system to achieve this is the hydropuiper, adapted from the paper industry, also called a waste pulper. 

The plant was designed and built by Biotec Sistemi S.r.L, a company partner and licensee of BTA International. The concept of the plant is based on the BTA Hydromechanical Pretreatment and BTA s AD concept for agricultural biogas plants.
