Ideal Choice for Waste Management

Why Anaerobic Digestion?

There are essentially three main options for dealing with organic wastes:

§ bury it - which means landfilling

§ burn it - which means incineration, gasification or pyrolysis

§ bio-digest it - which means either anaerobic digestion or composting

Technology	Sustainable	Impact on the environment	Energy recovery	Fertiliser output	Water recovery	Heavy metal recovery
Landfill	Unsustainable waste of resources	Some CH4 to atmosphere, leachate problems	Partial if landfill gas extracted	No fertiliser outputs	Lost in leachate	Not possible
Composting	Energy required	Damage to ozone layer, also leachate problems	None	Incomplete pathogen kill	Lost to atmosphere	Not possible
Incineration	Fertiliser loss negates any energy gain	Toxic ash	Some but Energy wasted	Some P&K output, but N destroyed	Burnt off	Secondary waste
Pyrolysis	Fertiliser loss negates any energy gain	Toxic ash, emmissions regulated	Some but Energy wasted	Some P&K output, but N destroyed	Burnt off	Secondary waste
Gasification	Fertiliser loss reduces energy gain	Pollutants locked in slag	Some but Energy wasted	Some P&K output, but N destroyed	Burnt off	Controlled not recovered
Anaerobic digestion	Carbon neutral	Total recovery of energy as CH4CO2 & fertiliser	Maximum overall energy	Clean NPK fertiliser and trace elements	100%	Heavy metals can be recovered from digestate

Anaerobic digestion is the only system for dealing with organic waste which is sustainable, recovers the maximum energy, is a completely closed system with no emissions to air or land, which retains the fertiliser and water content, and facilitates the recovery of heavy metals.

Subsidy For Biomass Briquetting Plant Project In India

blog.briquettingpressmachine.com/subsidy-for-biomass-briquetting-plant-project-in-india/ Subsidy for biomass briquetting plant project is the unique feature of this project. The new energy system biomass briquette plant is the great option for need of renewable energy in future. Sustainable energy sources are new expect for future energy sources and that’s why biomass briquetting plant is more preferable in India as well as foreign countries. Government encourages biomass briquette plant project by offering best subsidy plans to buyers. You can find any information of government incentives on biomass briquetting project, here. State Subsidy for briquetting machine in India is varies depends upon government taxes. Due to subsidy for biomass briquette plant in India, advantages and profitability of briquetting press machine is great. Being Agriculture country, the current availability of biomass in India is estimated at about 500 millions metric tones per year which is ...

Solar Cell Manufacturers review

There are essentially 3 types of Solar Cell Companies .The tier 1 comprising top 2% do core R&d and are integrated end-to-end.The experience is more than 10 years. The second line about 8% do not indulge in R&d but use partial robotics etc for manufacturing. They have experience of 2-5 years .The rest 90% are assemblers and use human production lines for manual soldering.The projects however have a good capital output ratio . Here's a good link to review the top Solar Companies http://www.forbes.com/sites/uciliawang/2014/12/03/guess-who-are-the-top-10-solar-panel-makers-in-the-world/#2e34708f2812 Solar equipment makers are gearing up to expand production again after many of them had to idle production lines or close factories. So who are the top 10 solar panel makers these days? IHS released its ranking today that put Trina Solar as the top shipper of solar panels in 2014, followed by Yingli Green Energy . Both companies are based in ...

11 countries leading the charge on renewable energy

https://www.climatecouncil.org.au/11-countries-leading-the-charge-on-renewable-energy/ The need for a swift transition to renewable energy is more urgent than ever. Climate change, driven by the burning coal, oil and gas, is already wreaking havoc on communities, economies and ecosystems right around the world. The easiest, quickest and most effective way of driving down greenhouse gas emissions and giving ourselves the best chance of kicking climate change’s butt is by moving to an energy system based on renewables and storage. Here are some inspiring countries that are using clever combinations of renewable resources and efficient, targeted policies to drive down their emissions . Sweden In 2012 Sweden reached their target of 50% renewable energy 8 years ahead of schedule. This puts them right on track to reach their 2040 goal of 100% renewable electricity production. How did they do it? By taking advantage of their natural resources and using a com...
